One standard.Every chair.
Dental and facial aesthetics by Dr. Maria Shalev. Teeth and face assessed together, by one judgement.
The standard
Four things I willnot compromise on.
A clinic is a room. A standard is what happens inside it — and it is the only part that travels.
Your teeth and your face are assessed together.
Almost everywhere these are two separate industries. I trained and certified in both, so a smile is judged against the face that frames it. One judgement, made once, properly.
You will be told when the answer is less, or not yet.
Some days I will suggest less than you came in asking for. I would rather care for you for years than rush a decision today.
You will know what it costs before you decide.
Always before, and never in the chair. No package to sign, and no follow-up call to persuade you.
The same standard in every room.
As this practice grows, the person beside you may not always be me. How the decision is made will not change. That is what my name on the door is for.
Dr. Maria Shalev
The judgementbehind the work.
I am a dental practitioner with specialised training and certification in both aesthetic dentistry and non-invasive facial aesthetics — the reason I can look at a whole face rather than half of one.
Over a decade of international experience has taught me that the difference between a good result and an obvious one is restraint. Precise, gentle, and natural rather than done.
I did not come to the Philippines to open a clinic. I came for personal reasons, and then I found that I wanted to stay. My training came from a long way away; my practice, and my life, are here.

Treatments
Thirteen things,done properly.
A short list is a decision, not a shortfall.
Dental
Facial aesthetics
Children
Their first visit should be boring.
Children’s dental hygiene is unhurried, and explained to them rather than over their head. The earlier a cleaning becomes something ordinary and comfortable, the easier every visit for the rest of their life. [Photography of a paediatric appointment — to be shot]
These are regulated medical treatments. Every patient is assessed individually for suitability, and results differ from person to person.

Questions
Before youcome in.
Not at all, and most people do not. Tell me what is on your mind and I will tell you what I would do. That is exactly what a consultation is for, and there is an option on the booking form for precisely this.
At this clinic, me. As the practice grows that may not always be true — which is why the four commitments above exist in writing. Whoever is beside you, the standard they work to is mine, and you will always be told in advance who you are seeing.
Yes, and often. There are days I will suggest less than you came in asking for, and days I will suggest waiting a while. I would rather care for you for many years than rush a decision today.
No. Nothing is treated on the first visit unless you would like it to be. There is no package to sign, no membership, and no follow-up call to persuade you. You are welcome to go home and think it over.
You will always know before you decide, and never in the chair. Costs depend on what you actually need, which is why I would rather look first than publish a number that turns out not to apply to you.
Please do. Children are very welcome, and the earlier a cleaning becomes something ordinary and comfortable for them, the easier every visit for the rest of their life.
Soon, at [Mall name — to confirm]. Send a booking request and you will be among the first appointments — I will write to you personally the moment we have a date.
Booking
Book withthe doctor.
Not with a call centre. Your request comes straight to the clinic and I read it myself. Sending it places you among the first appointments.
Nothing is confirmed until we speak. Sending this reserves nothing and commits you to nothing.
No payment, no card details. You will always know what a treatment costs before you decide, and never on this page.
You will hear from me personally [response time — to confirm], by [SMS / Viber / call — to confirm], on the number you give us.
You are also very welcome to message us directly on [Viber / WhatsApp number — to confirm].
