The Tooth Clinic Retiro Review

My teeth color has always been on the yellowish side for so many reasons ---genetics + food + my love for Coffee and tea.

I have tried teeth whitening service once and find the effect to be quite short for the effort I've been through.  I also tried purchasing teeth whitening products which also gave me short-term effect.

Since I am on the road to HOLISTIC wellness, that explains why I go to Centro Holistico for my well being + workout + monthly facials and massage.  I knew I had to do something about my teeth so it was perfect timing when I was invited by The Tooth Clinic Retiro to visit their clinic.  The clinic is close to my son's school and gym - perfect right?

The only thing that would complete the perfection is the service of the staff and of course --- the service had to work (or be effective).

Since I recently had my teeth cleaning in a separate clinic, I've decided to give Teeth Whitening a go! 

After looking at this photo, you'll probably say "Yeah, it works" and leave this blog post.  I hope not!  Hear me out on my experience after my first visit.

I had an early schedule 10:00 at The Tooth Clinic and I met Doc Cary, prior to going to the clinic, I've done my own research and read a lot of reviews both from Facebook and Youtube Vlogs.  I've read so many raves about this kind doctor and I was able to witness it myself. 

The Smile Bar Triple Whitening Review

When people asks me which part of my body I find beautiful, I can't seem to pinpoint a physical aspect of mine but I always end up with one answer: "My Smile."  I know I don't have the best smile in the world, I don't have good-looking teeth --- they're yellow and uneven-toned (Coffee drinker here!)  One thing for sure, I am quite confident that I can give out the most genuine smile because that's how I feel deep inside --- pure happiness and appreciation to the person I'm smiling at.

But obviously, I'm only human, deep inside, I wished my teeth are whiter, I wished I don't need to use a certain shade of lipstick to make them appear brighter and pry myself away from lipsticks that make them yellowish.  That said, when The Smile Bar launched its' first-ever store in the Philippines last August 8th, I  knew I had to visit when I get the chance --- even with the crazy traffic and rain.

with good friend Alyssa Lapid

 The Smile Bar started in Hong Kong and Bangkok in 2015 and 2016 respectively.  Thankfully, they made their way to our country offering safe and effective teeth whitening services to us Filipinos.  How effective it is?  I wasn't sure about the service but after hearing my good friend Angela's testimonials during our Salon date, Alyssa and I were sold!  We chose a common free day to visit The Smile Bar just because we wanted to see the results ourselves and the same time, enjoy the bonding session!  And The Smile Bar did NOT disappoint.

This service as reported on my Social Media Accounts got the most queries!  I was actually just leaving the location when I got several private messages on this particular service so I've decided to hurry up and write this review!

Let me walk you through my personal experience on my journey to a whiter teeth.

Firstly, walk-in customers are welcomed but it is better if you set a schedule.  Alyssa and I were set at 2:30pm and we were greeted by the friendly staffs of The Smile Bar.  (Thanks girls!)

Step 1:  Customer Briefing

Since both Alyssa and I were first-timers, we were briefed by the process and pre-treatment teeth assessment was done using their teeth shade guide.
