Porcelain Crown Metro Manila

I was feeling tooth sensitivity and Dr. Estetico was very knowledgeable and professional by not jumping into a crown replacement procedure that I originally requested. Instead, he referred me to a root canal specialist to get a second opinion so I can make an educated decision. He did not even charge me for the checkup, despite I was running late. Finding the clinic is a bit tricky if you are driving yourself and you haven't been there before. I used Waze and still needed to call the receptionist to get more directions. An elevator is available to go up to the clinic.

I needed a crown. The quality of the clinic, the equipment in it and all staff were as good as any dentist I have been to in the USA. The clinic is near the airport and all the major (USA chain) hotels. The prices were so low that a deep cleaning, a crown and a couple of fillings would probably still be cheaper than in the USA, even after paying for the travel and accommodation. I asked about some prices and discovered that you could get a FULL set of implants for little more than the cost of good dentures in the USA. I applied for quotes to many clinics. By a significant margin, Bel-Air handled the inquiry in the most timely and professional way. They communicated with me continually right up to my departure from the USA and as soon as I arrived in Manila. Time difference was never an issue, my contact carried on communication from home. (This was one of the only inquiries where all my communication was directly with the dentist who was going to oversee my treatment.) Manila was just a layover for me and they bent over backwards to accommodate my tight timetable. They even communicated during my long flight directly with a third party who was meeting me at the airport. My first impression as I walked into the clinic was a pleasant surprise - although not opulent, like some USA clinics, it was as clean and bright as any in the USA. The reception was fully briefed and greeted me by name as I walked in the door. All personnel spoke exceptionally good English. The clinic was fully equipped (as good as any USA clinic), including panoramic X-ray equipment. Although they do not make the permanent crowns on site, they use a lab nearby and they had made special arrangements with that lab to fit in with my tight schedule. It was December 27th and I was the last patient of the day. Before I left they offered me and my companion a glass of wine and the two remaining dentists joined in a (single) glass. I am 68 years old and have had dental treatment in both the UK and the USA.This was, by far, the best visit to a dentist that I have had in my life. I saved a lot of money, got great treatment and made two new good friends.

Professional and reassuring throughout. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The price is somehow suited for foreigners, but there is a discount for locals.

Worth to bring my whole family for a care. Keep it up! .

I live in Australia but still have my appointments with him every year, I never have treatments in Australia, just with him!
