DMD · Dental at Ivory Premier, Mandaue City, Cebu
About Dr. Kirsten
Dr. Kirsten Socito-Cuizon is a dentist and the co-founder of Ivory Premier in Mandaue City, Cebu, where she leads the dental practice. Her work centres on dental implants: planning the case, placing the implant and restoring it with a crown that matches the rest of the smile.
Alongside implants she provides crowns, veneers, aesthetic dentistry and general dental care. She also leads CliniCare Medical and Dental Center, a family practice in Mactan, so her patients range from children at their first visit to adults rebuilding a full smile.
She writes the dental articles in the Ivory Journal and reviews every dental page on this site. Her aim is the same in writing as in the chair: explain each step in plain words, so people decide with confidence.
