I went here to get my Wisdom Tooth removed.
My dentist name: Dr. Fevelyn Hora
The Clinic has 2 offices - I went to the one in the Jose de Leon Building at Session Road - this review thus refers to this one.
History:
I had 2 wisdom tooth that is laying flat and one I got removed in my home country 25 years ago. It really caused a lot of pain and the dentist in my country, a western rich country, really hurt me! He kept pulling and it took him 2,5 to 3 hours to get it out. At times I thought he was to break my jaws so strong he kept pulling and bending and I could hear the bones cracking - though not breaking. For me that caused a trauma so then I decided not to have the other tooth removed and simply brush it very well.
Eventually, it caught up with me - causing infection recently ..despite brushing extra long that area. So I decided:"let's try a Filipino dentist"
Treatment:
pain reliever and antibiotics prophylaxis starting 12 hours before surgical removal. The surgical removal was done with local anaesthetics. Although naturally there has to be some level of pulling - the dentist here didn't try to break my jaws. I kept my eyes closed most of the time but from the "feeling" I'd say she did some more surgical incisions and drilling/cutting to free the tooth so it came out much easier.
So there wasn't any feeling of "breaking the jaws" or "pain" and in fact now 24 hours later at no point I ever had any pain and the swelling is minimal I can ALMOST normally open my jaws actually.
I have a bunch of stitches that will be removed within 5 days.
The only thing I hated was the end - the cleaning of the wound and the pulling of the cable for the stitches. Again - no pain - but the sound of the "scraping" to clean the wound and feel of it made me very uncomfortable. That's part of the deal of course. Cleaning has to be done and yeah, you feel the wire of the stitches being pulled through the tissue that's also not comfortable - but again - no pain!
Overall:
The whole surgical procedure is done professionally, with no pain, no breaking of jaws and <50minutes.
Much more professional than in my home country (western EU)
I can totally recommend this dental clinic!
Note:
The Dentist wanted to explain everything as well - you don't need to ask for information you'll get it, as most people want it. I'm not most people, I just told the dentist: "I don't want to hear, I don't want to know, you're the professional, you make the choice what has to be done simply do it. Just make sure I don't feel pain."
My wish was honoured too completely! So this clinic is 100% compliant with the wish of the customer.
