The Philippines is a popular destination for dental tourists due to low prices for dental services. Cross-border limitations during COVID-19 had an impact on the market; however, since COVID, dental tourism has recovered and is now contributing to market revenues. The Philippines Dental Services Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9 percent over the forecasted period 2021-2026F, due to a rise in dental tourism, a rise in urban population and an upgradation in technology. The market for dental services is predicted to develop significantly throughout the forecast period as a result of improvements made to currently offered services as well as the introduction of new and enhanced technology, such as drills, dental caps, and dentures. The demand for proper training and education on digital dentistry solutions from professionals and students is rising, which will further boost the effectiveness of the nation’s dental care sector. With the development and improvement in traditional technologies, doctors will be able to spend more time on responsibilities relevant to patient care and contribute to the continued expansion of the dental services industry in the Philippines.
Although most of the population of the Philippines currently lives in remote and rural areas, the country is witnessing major population migration from rural to urban areas. This shift is expected to continue to increase, contributing to the increased utilisation of dental services in these regions. The Philippines is considered the selfie capital of the world and wearing braces is very common in the country, especially among teenagers, which is expected to drive the growth of the dental services market in the country. Various dental service providers are stepping up and introducing new innovations in the dentistry industry. One such service provider is Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC Dental Clinics).
Spreading Smile Across Borders
Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) is a leading dental centre in the Philippines and one of the best in Southeast Asia. It offers a complete range of complex, yet technologically superior diagnostic and treatment systems, particularly in advanced cases of oral maxillo-facial maladies and dental implant surgery.
Founded by world-renowned dental surgeon, Dr. Steve Mark Gan in 1998, GAOC was the product of a consistent culture of excellence which was fostered long before he began his dental practice in a modest clinic in Binondo, Manila, fresh from his intensive training and residency in the United States. The growing demand for the quality of his service, characterised by a keen adherence to global quality standards rarely seen in other dental practitioners at that time prompted him to establish the Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) in 2001.
Envisioning a long-term relationship through mutual participation and responsibility with their valued patients, GAOC has adroitly partnered with the world’s industry leaders in oral care equipment, intending to provide only the highest standards of personalised dental care in a gentle, yet professional manner. Word-of-mouth referrals made his clientele grow exponentially to include local celebrities, diplomats, and government officials. With a Its passion for quality service, often supplanted by the use of the latest technology, GAOC was one of the first to explore the concept of Dental Tourism and became one of its early proponents in the Philippines. It positioned itself as the first “luxury” dental clinic which placed great emphasis on high-end dental care at a fraction of the cost offered by the most modern clinics in the United States and Europe.
At the World Business Outlook Awards 2024, Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC Dental Clinics) was awarded three prestigious titles – Best World-Class Dental Treatment Center in Philippines 2024, Most Comprehensive and Technologically Advanced Dental Services Philippines 2024, and Leading Dental Center in Philippines 2024.
