The Dr. Smile Dental Care Center at the fourth level of The Podium sets new standards for dental care in the Philippines.

Mallgoers will have even more reason to frequent The Podium with the opening of a state-of-the-art full-service dental facility – the Dr. Smile Dental Care Center.

An experience like no other, Dr. Smile sets a trend with its latest dental laser technology and 3D diagnostics in the country.  Imagine listening to your favorite music or watching a movie while being treated by some of the country’s top dental experts; and better still no drills, less pain through laser technology.

The dental clinic boasts of its newly-acquired Waterlase MD Turbo Laser, which is the top of the line dental laser from the United States. The machine never touches the tooth, uses laser energy, and provides a gentle spray of water.  For many procedures, it will be possible to use less anesthetic, and often, no anesthetic at all.

Another reason to make patients smile is the Cerec CAD/Cam system by Sirona, the globally renowned Siemen’s dental company.  Using animated engineering software, it provides both the dentist and the patient with a full computer aided, three-dimensional view of the entire oral cavity to the finest anatomical detail.  With this platform, the Galileos Cone Beam Computer Topography improves tooth implant technology by making it more predictable, comfortable, and economical for the patient.

The clinic gives people more reason to smile with its 15 treatment rooms including two VIP rooms, two endodontic treatment rooms equipped with a Ritter Peripheral X-Ray Machine, an operating room with a recovery room, an orthodontic treatment room, and a children’s treatment room.  It also has a dental laboratory, as well as rooms for sterilization, consultation, conference, and a CT scan.

Each treatment room has a German made Ritter Excellence Chair, which is designed according to ergonomic principles with complete functions.  For ultimate patient comfort, the unit, which is controlled by a function key of a microcomputer, comes with an adjustable headrest and unique built -in isothermal water heater.  The built-in LED curing light, scaler, and hand pieces are there to resolve your treatment needs.

Patients will also overcome their fear of dental chairs as each treatment room is equipped with a computer that can be used for educating patients and for entertainment as well.  They can get a glimpse of what’s going on inside their mouth through the intra-oral cameras or enjoy a movie while the dentists do their jobs.  Prior to each appointment, patients are asked to choose the music that will be incorporated into the iPod’s playlist.

Dr. Smile’s specialists include the Who’s Who in the Philippine oral and maxillofacial industry – dental hygienists, implant experts, oral surgeons, aesthetic/cosmetic dentists, orthodontists, and pediatric dentistry specialists.  The center also has people trained to cure sleep apnea or snoring and oral cancer.
