When it comes to bringing smiles, the Center for Advanced Dentistry is the not-so-lowkey aesthetic dental clinic of choice. Among dentists to the stars, CAD's founders — dentist-sisters Dr. Nelda Valencia-Eufemio, Dr. Mia Valencia-Angeles and Dr. Carlito Librando — have always been about genuine smiles.

And for CAD, that means delivering the best kind of dental services in a place of comfort and innovation.

In an exclusive interview with the DAILY TRIBUNE, the top dentists provided a glimpse into their journey, and the dynamic landscape of dentistry.

It all began in a small clinic where, Dr. Valencia-Eufemio recalled, their early focus on serving models preparing for commercials marked the start of their venture into aesthetic dentistry.

Speaking in an interview on Straight Talk, Dr. Valencia-Eufemio shared, "We started out in a very small clinic in Makati in Legaspi Village, to be exact. Our primary clientele were models trying out for commercials, and eventually, we secured talents for close-up commercials." 

During an era before the rise of social media, their growth relied on word of mouth, attracting talents from well-known agencies. Dr. Valencia-Eufemio highlighted, "They would bring in their talents, and we would fix them up. It's a quick fix. If they bring in the talents today, they can shoot tonight."

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is among the A-list celebrities of whom the CAD is exceptionally proud. She is one of the biggest names to have explored the cosmos, and she proudly wears the "CAD Smile."

Wurtzbach participated in the Binibining Pilipinas competition and twice lost. She needed dental veneers as she wanted the world, the universe rather, to see her flawless smile. 

She then put her trust in CAD and got that "winning smile." Not too long after, more celebrities and beauty queens followed.

A person's face is truly transformed by a smile. What counts is that you look better and, because you love it, you become more "confident."
