The dental industry in Malaysia has been experiencing an impressive growth spurt in terms of the number of dentists, which nearly doubled from 2015 to 2019. The increasing number of professionals demonstrates that the growth of the industry is certain, as are the fiery ambitions of young professionals.

Spurring the incline in the number of dental professionals are the growth in populations and in the demand for quality dental services. Modern-day dentistry challenges too are increasing in difficulty. With the undeniable influence of social media platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, patients are increasingly seeking to fulfil their dental ideals, especially aesthetics-wise. They are fully aware of their wants and their desired outcomes. This provides a definite challenge to all dental service providers, especially in regard to “how” to reach patients’ desired outcome.

From advanced technologies and innovations in the dental field to quality dentist-patient interaction, SmileBay Signature is taking on the task of accommodating young and ambitious professionals, especially within the northern region of Malaysia, via its very own Smilebay Academy, where meeting contemporary demands from both patients and professionals is realised.
