OUR STORY & MISSION
Giving Back, Quietly and Consistently
Long before opening her own clinic, Doc Armie was already volunteering with the UE Dental Health Team.
That spirit of service never stopped.
She continues to participate in dental missions and outreach programs, giving free dental care to those who need it most—often traveling far from Makati to serve underserved communities.

Mission, Values & Meaning
MISSION
CORE VALUES
A Heartfelt Beginning
Back in 2003, fresh from years of hands-on training and mentorship, Dr. Armie Kirdlappi opened her own one-chair practice in Makati. It was just her and a dental assistant—but the goal was clear: to offer gentle, honest, and compassionate dental care that puts people first.
Today, many of her first patients still return—and even bring their kids. That loyalty speaks for itself.
We started with one chair and a lot of heart.
Small Clinic, Big Heart
What sets Kirdlappi Dental Clinic apart isn’t just advanced skills—it’s the way patients are treated.
Doc Armie, lovingly known by patients and staff alike as “the most gentle dentist in Makati,” leads a team that takes the time to listen, educate, and make patients feel safe and heard.
That same level of care is extended far beyond the clinic walls.
Educating the Next Generation
That’s why she doesn’t just treat problems—she teaches patients how to prevent them. Whether through casual clinic chats or future plans for workshops, her goal is to help families understand that
oral health = overall health.
Kirdlappi Dental Clinic empowers patients with the knowledge and tools they need for long-term dental wellness.
Looking Forward
The future is bright—and healthier.
The clinic plans to expand not just in services, but in impact. Through more outreach programs and stronger community involvement, Doc Armie envisions a future where families across all backgrounds have access to proper dental care and education.
“We’re raising a generation that doesn’t fear the dentist—because they feel safe, seen, and cared for.”
