Japanese beauty standards commonly revolve around the art of natural beauty. To them, a smile and natural-looking face is the best form of makeup.

Japan is known worldwide for its reputation for cleanliness, hence Japanese are inarguably known to be OCD people. If you work with Japanese colleagues, no doubt you’ve seen your colleagues rush to the restroom to brush their teeth, often after lunch or before a business meeting. This is one of the reasons why teeth whitening clinics are very popular in Japan.

You see, we do get attracted to someone with a beautiful set of pearly white teeth compared to someone who doesn’t. But if you think that can be achieved by simply brushing and flossing your teeth, then you are so wrong. A good and proper oral care goes beyond that. Moreover, if you are a fan of coffee and tea, or sips on wine quite often, your teeth are actually more exposed to stubborn stains.

We had the privilege to interview Aimi san (@helloshibuya_3), the founder of Shining Smile Singapore as she shares more about the services and procedures available. If you haven’t heard about this increasingly popular place, then you definitely have to read on to learn more about how you can achieve crystal white teeth at an affordable rate!

Make sure to stay till the end for an exciting gift for all of you!

“Nice to meet you! Can you introduce yourself and your inspiration behind Shining Smile Singapore?”

My name is Aimi Shibuya (@helloshibuya_3). I was born in Osaka and grew up in Chiba. I have been living in Singapore for about 3 years!

Teeth whitening in Singapore generally costs about $600-$1500 per treatment depending on the dental clinic. And it is usually painful and uncomfortable during the session as they utilise hydrogen peroxide to bleach your teeth. Therefore, we wanted to create a painless and comfort teeth whitening treatment at an affordable price. At Shining Smile Singapore, we use Japanese technology without any downtime.

“How does your teeth whitening treatment works? Other than teeth whitening service, are there any other treatments available?”

Our teeth whitening treatment is quick, safe and effective. It is a non-invasive and painless solution for a pearly white smile. Individuals experience up to 6 shades lighter in 1 session. The treatment is capable of removing all kinds of tooth stains such as those arising from coffee, wine, smoking, ageing and medication.

In addition to that, we uses a latest technology originated in Japan that also prevents tooth decay and periodontal disease as well.

Other than teeth whitening, we also provide bone correction massage (done at @small_face_therapy)!

“Bone correction massage, what is that? Tell us more about Small Face Therapy too!”

At Small face therapy, our bone correction massage uses natural treatment and does not involves surgery. It is a Japanese technique where our masters use their hands and push your muscles and bones to correct it without plastic surgery.

It helps to reduce face size by filling the distortion between facial bones and push it to its correct position to make face smaller (and visually smaller as well). It also provides you with proper blood circulation and improves lymph.

“How long is each session?”

Teeth whitening takes about one hour and a half for first timers. After that, it takes about only one hour for your 2nd time onwards.

Bone correction takes about 2 hours including a consultation with Master. It takes about one hour for your 2nd time onwards.

“Will there be any side effects from these treatments?”

Since we do not use any harmful chemicals in the solution, there is no pain/sensitivity at all! Hence there is absolutely no side effects. For the bone correction massage, it is also the same case, as it is a gentle process and procedure involving no pain at all.

“What is the price list for these services?”

Teeth whitening treatment at Shining Smile Singapore is at $220 per session.

Bone correction massage at Small Face Therapy is at $3000 per session.

“Now we know about the services and procedures available, we’d love to know some of your thoughts and perspectives as a Japanese living in Singapore.

Do you enjoy residing in Singapore or Japan more?”

Absolutely Singapore! Good people, environment, food etc…but one thing I miss about Japan is the different seasons!

“What do you think is one of the biggest differences between Singaporean and Japanese culture? & What is one thing you are still learning/adapting about Singapore or its culture?”

In my own opinion, I think that Singaporeans and Japanese are actually very similar. Maybe it is largely due to the fact that Singapore has a multiracial society with various nationalities and cultures, hence Singaporeans tend to be more understanding and accepting of the differences.

So I have never felt any culture shock so far. The only thing that surprised me and that I am still learning to adapt is that Singaporeans eat very quickly! Haha
