A dental practice that takes its time.
Smile Zone is run by a brother and sister. Slow appointments, careful work, and a chair that is kind to children — right here in Bajada.
Two siblings. One practice. Built for Davao.
Dr. Maria Santos grew up here in Davao, trained in Manila, and returned home in 2018 with a clear idea: open a practice where no one feels rushed. Her brother, Dr. Ramon, joined her. Between them they cover general dentistry, pediatric care, orthodontics, and oral surgery — all under one roof on J.P. Laurel Avenue.
Every appointment is booked with enough time to do the work properly. Every chair is a chair where children can feel safe. That is the whole philosophy.
What we do, and what it costs
Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. Every quote is given after we have seen the tooth.
General cleaning & checkup
A thorough cleaning, a careful look at every tooth, and an honest conversation about anything we find. Most adults come in twice a year.
Pediatric cleaning
For children up to twelve. Dr. Maria sees most of our young patients herself and takes as long as the child needs.
Orthodontic consultation
A first visit with Dr. Ramon to discuss whether braces are right for you or your child, and what the course would look like. No commitment.
Braces — full course
Conventional metal or ceramic braces, fitted and adjusted by Dr. Ramon over a course of one to two years. Quoted across the full treatment, not per visit.
Cavity filling
Composite fillings, colour-matched to the tooth. Priced by size of cavity after we have seen it.
Tooth extraction
Simple and surgical extractions handled by Dr. Ramon. We will walk you through the aftercare in detail before you leave.
Teeth whitening
In-chair whitening, one session, lasting around an hour. We will tell you honestly whether you actually need it.
A brother-and-sister practice
Two dentists who grew up together. They bring different skills to the same chair.
Dr. Maria Santos
General dentistry & pediatric care
Grew up in Davao, trained in Manila, and returned home to open Smile Zone with her brother in 2018. Dr. Maria sees most of the children who walk through the door. She believes a dental chair should never feel like a place of fear — especially for a child.
Dr. Ramon Santos
Orthodontics & oral surgery
Maria's brother. Handles braces, extractions, and the surgical chair with the same unhurried care that defines the practice. Dr. Ramon quotes every treatment in full before starting, so there are no surprises.
Direct billing, less paperwork
We process claims directly with major Philippine health providers so you do not have to handle the paperwork yourself.
Open six days a week
We are on the second floor of Insular Square, J.P. Laurel Avenue, Bajada. Look for Suite 204.
