GAOC Dental Clinics hailed as Dental Clinic of the Year - Philippines at Healthcare Asia Awards 2026

It has stood at the forefront of Philippine dentistry, defined by innovation, growth, and service beyond the clinic.

Gan Advanced Osseointegration Center (GAOC) Dental Clinics emerged as the Dental Clinic of the Year - Philippines at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 for transforming a bold vision into a nationally and internationally recognised standard of excellence through the leadership of globally trained prosthodontist and oral surgeon Dr Steve Mark Gan.

The dental clinic has been built on the mission of delivering world-class dental care to Filipinos without compromise. Celebrating its 25th year this 2026, it has demonstrated rare longevity in healthcare — remaining relevant, trusted, and future-ready whilst consistently raising standards and setting the benchmark in clinical excellence, patient experience, and operational quality.

Central to the dental clinic’s success is its long-term commitment to innovation and education. GAOC ensures that excellence is sustained by investing in advanced dental technologies aligned with global best practices and by continuously upskilling its clinicians through structured training and professional development. This forward-thinking approach has enabled the organisation to deliver highly precise, efficient, and patient-centred care across increasingly complex cases.

Another major driver of its accomplishments is its strategic expansion, extending access to world-class dentistry through thoughtfully located clinics whilst maintaining consistent standards across its growing network. This reflects both patient trust and organisational discipline.

Beyond the clinics, GAOC embraces a broader responsibility through the GAOC Foundation, advancing meaningful social impact by supporting access to care, education, and life-changing treatment for underserved communities. This commitment underscores the dental clinic’s belief that true excellence in healthcare is measured not only by outcomes but also by purpose.

“As GAOC looks ahead to its next chapter, its 25-year legacy stands as a testament to visionary leadership, innovation with intent, responsible growth, and service beyond the clinic—qualities that continue to define GAOC as a benchmark of excellence in Philippine dentistry,” the company said.
