MANILA, Philippines – For one internationally-trained dentist, her day is always about making someone smile. A smile, for Dr. Cecile Infantado, is a big thing. For her, making a difference in people’s lives means making their smiles better and brighter.
Dr. Cecile Infantado’s ultra chic clinic is located at the third floor of the Dusit Hotel Thani Manila in Makati. Herein lies the very essence of dental Zen, where the color orange glows vividly warm and bright in contrast to the interiors’ immaculate white walls, and where a single leaf flows throughout the rooms. This single orange leaf motif found in every part of Dr. Cecile’s clinic is actually an ancient reminder of happiness. As she explains, “In ancient times, one leaf represented happiness.”
And now in this very clinic, Dr. Cecile Infantado is spreading happiness all around.
But Dr. Cecile realized that a wrong treatment or diagnosis could have dire consequences. “My family has a good history of having back tooth problems,” she says. Because of this, her sister had to have six of her healthy teeth extracted and now, she is wearing veneers. Back then, Dr. Cecile was not yet a dentist and she had not even taken dentistry yet. When she saw what happened to her sister, she had only one thing to say, “Something can be better.”
Dr. Cecile Infantado trained in Hawaii and also went to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) for advance studies. She is also a very active member of the prestigious American Academy of Cosmetic Industry.
In her clinic, she offers a wide range of cosmetic dental treatments, including teeth whitening, freehand teeth sculpture, porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns and bridges, tooth-colored fillings and onlays, cosmetic contouring, gum sculpture, smile lifts, orthodontics, implants, and wisdom tooth removal. She also does bonding which she says is “very economical, it changes your smile in hours.”
Recently, an executive visited Dr. Cecile’s clinic, deciding that investing in making his teeth better would do him more good than getting himself a more expensive wrist watch. In less than two hours, Dr. Cecile worked her magic on six of his front teeth and today, he is smiling better than he ever did before.
Surely, this dentist will go that extra smile for her patients.
