Coming from a healthcare profession, I consider myself cautious and detail oriented. But, unfortunately, I had my share of dental work mess-up here in the U.S. (i.e. expensive braces that caused more damage than good) that made my hope of having a decent smile more elusive than ever. Being in my 40's, I couldn't afford to mess-up any more. All I wanted was damage control when I went to see Dr Tess Mendoza and Dr Sue Macainag of Beverly Hills Medical Group in Makati. The end result was a surprising and astonishing confident smile that I never thought possible. After multiple root canals, gum line cleaning, abscess treatment, and meticulous fittings of temporaries and permanent high quality zirconian crowns and bridges, I now have a very NATURAL-looking smile. Believe me, I had almost 6 consultations with various reputable dental clinics in the Philippines in 2013. Few of them painted a hope that was grim, long, and very expensive. Dr Tess took me in the same day I called them and offered a plan of care for me that was most affordable and most extensive. Her professional confidence was almost too good to be true. But she and her team delivered their promises to the tee. My genuine confidence in their work and satisfaction with their professionalism prompted me to refer my older sister to them for similar dental work this year (and I would not let other touch her teeth). As expected, she came back to Canada very happy with her new smile and renewed dental health. She speaks highly of them. I don't urge you to believe me, but do yourself a favor......at least call and meet them before you commit your dental work to anyone else!

They ruined my mouth. They are general dentists (not specializing in anything). What was supposed to be a 9-month full-mouth restoration turned out to be a 2-year nightmare. They gave me 18 root canals that are now infected according to a leading endo in Makati. (Read about infected root canals by Dr Price, Dr Meinig, & Dr Huggins.) Now after thousands of dollars and several surgeries, I am left with a mouth full of infection (visible fistulas & sores) and debt. They won't even take my phone calls. I have the xrays showing the infections and both Doctors will admit that I was EXTREMELY patient and loyal to them the entire 2 years but in the end I could not continue with the torture. Now I am seeking help to extract the teeth before infection goes to my brain or turns to sepsis (blood poisoning). I am very sad that they hurt me so much and won't even own up to their wrong-doing. Under the Philippine Dental Code of Ethics, they should have referred me to a specialist when my case became complicated but did not I only assume to get my money. I am a foreigner age 45 with wife and children that I don't want to abandon if this infection takes my life but I can tell you honestly it is THAT extreme. Another footnote is that my first full-mouth restoration I received in Makati failed after 4 years and these doctors assured me they could fix everything. I'm such a fool. They win I lose --and I'm not the only one. God bless & good luck.

Beautiful and yes, very natural looking! I'm going to add your review to the community so others can see it :). Happy New Year to you.
Hi :). Can you please tell us exactly what you had done--like how many crowns and where they are? A before/after photo of just your smile would be great, so we can see the aesthetic of your dental team.
Wow! That's a lot of stuff to do in one sitting!
