Modern dentistry is constantly evolving – from the advancements of technologies to the progression of consumer trends. The former often heralds more intricate – albeit complicated – innovations, while the latter has witnessed the advent of more resourceful patients who are more proactive in their desire to understand the various processes of their treatments rather than passively absorbing everything their dentists tell them. Therein the challenge lies for today’s dentists.

As part of the dental industry, the SmileBay team understands these challenges better than anyone else, which is what inspired it to conceive its own dental academy called SmileBay Academy. The first of its kind in the northern region, SmileBay Academy is located in the prestigious SmileBay Signature at Weld Quay, Penang, and is fully equipped to host lectures and training sessions. Among others, it offers easy access to an operating theatre and an in-house digital dental lab as well as providing opportunities to get hands-on experience with some of the latest dental equipment available.

As an extension of SmileBay’s commitment to lifelong learning, the academy welcomes both aspiring and experienced dentists alike who are keen to upskill themselves. Here, the dental fraternity will be able to keep abreast with the latest industry trends and gain new knowledge on contemporary issues. They will also be able to discover new approaches, proper equipment usage and experience hands-on training in a realistic environment.

As the first dental academy in northern Malaysia, SmileBay Academy serves to promote the spread of knowledge and growth in the dental industry throughout the entire region and beyond. Besides that, it will act as a platform for networking among dentists and dental technologists. This is especially useful for fresh graduates looking to build their own networks of professionals, empowering them with the spark needed to jumpstart their professional career. The dental academy is also a member of Dontia Alliance, which comprises professionals in the dental industry in Asia. 

The courses offered at SmileBay Academy will be delivered by top industry experts, both in-house and external. As such, participants can be sure that they are learning from the best to be the best, as they will obtain only tried-and-tested knowledge transfer coming from specific masters of different specialisation backgrounds.
