One of the premier dental centers in Southeast Asia recently opened a clinic at the ground floor of the posh The Residences at Greenbelt building on Arnaiz Avenue, Makati City. Specializing in dental implants, cosmetic surgery and general dentistry, the latest branch of the Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) has four operating rooms, a separate consultation room and state-of-the-art equipment comparable to those in the US and Europe like the low-radiation, digital dental diagnostic scanner which combines three X-rays in one—dramatically reducing time needed for a full scan. GAOC founder and president, doctor Steve Mark Gan said this machine promises a more accurate imaging for dentists to assess the best treatment for patients. The Greenbelt clinic also boasts of spacious, spa-like interiors—an extremely relaxing ambience for patients in waiting. One can even watch his favorite movie while undergoing treatment. This really turns an otherwise nerve-wracking trip to the dentist into a much-anticipated event. Thank you and congratulations, doctor Gan! For details, visit www.gaocdental.com or call 843-GAOC (4262).
