Dental center offers world-class service

Dental checkups and visits may not be fearful anymore.

With modern dental clinics, fear of dentists has eased up, oral surgeon Steve Mark Gan said.

“Many Filipinos are afraid of dentists because they associate a visit to them with pain,” Gan, who has establishe­d the Gan Advanced Osseointeg­ration Center (GAOC) at Greenbelt in Makati.

The anxiety of dental treatment, he says, has prevented millions of Filipinos from seeking preventive oral care, resulting in tooth loss or gum disease.

“Chances are a visit to the dentist may not be painful as one expects, especially if they go to a clinic with modern technology equipment and profession­al staff,” he explains .

At the GAOC, for instance, dental programs are specifical­ly created and tailored for each patient, with each dentist and staff committed to help and provide solutions to any dental problem.

“We listen to their dental woes or what they want to achieve to have a perfect smile and provide solutions that we have made available in the Philippine­s,” says Gan.

The dentist, who was educated both in the Philippine­s and the United States, brings with him his desire to bring proper dental care to all Filipinos and eliminate dental phobia.

His clinic is a “one-stop shop” oral health center with an X-ray room that provides a 360-degree view of one’s mouth. It also has a state-of-the-art surgical rooms with high technology equipment . The rooms are spacious, allowing dentists and assistants to move freely during surgeries.

“This makes all our procedures time-efficient and convenient as we do not have to outsource services and make the patient return for another visit,” says Gan.

“We also have a company laboratory partner that prioritize­s our requiremen­ts for dental implants, crowns and dentures using the highest Japanese, Italian and German technologi­es and artisans to ensure that teeth look natural.”

Over the years, GAOC has built a reputation of having the highest quality service among business leaders like Lucio Tan and politician­s like former president and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, actors and actresses like Piolo Pascual, Derek Ramsay, Sarah Geronimo, Kim Chiu, John Lloyd Cruz and Lovi Poe, among others.

“They all have chosen our clinic because of the quality services we give,” declares Gan.

GAOC provides implant dentistry and oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry and restorativ­e dentistry, among others, and has 27 profession­al, experience­d, highly skilled locally and globally certified dental medical doctors led by Gan himself.
