Dental clinic files for ISO accreditation

CEBU, Philippines - Patients are assured of quality dental care as Green Apple Dental begins its process towards International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification.

Standards make an enormous and positive contribution to most aspects of our lives since they ensure desirable characteristics of products and services such as quality, environmental friendliness, safety, reliability, efficiency and interchangeability - and at an economical cost.

ISO is the world’s largest developer and publisher of International Standards. It has a network of national standards institutes of 163 countries with a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system.

Green Apple Dental Chief Executive Officer Dr. David T. Alesna, DDM said, “Actually, our standards are already in place, filing for the ISO is merely an affirmation of our commitment to excellence and quality service.”

Green Apple Dental, located along the Wellness Area, Garden Level, The Terraces, Ayala Center Cebu, takes pride in offering the highest quality comprehensive dental care for the entire family. It uses modern dental equipments and technological advancements.

Its newly renovated clinic now houses more technologically advanced dental equipment. The VATECH Pax-400C panoramic X-ray, for example is top-of-the-line capable of evaluating patients with past or present TMJ (tempro - mandibular joint) or jaw joint problems; those who require full or partial removable dentures, dental implants, or braces; those who are at risk or suspected of having oral cancer or other tumors of the jaw, have impacted teeth (especially wisdom teeth)

or have had any recent trauma to the face or teeth (e.g., can help identify a fractured jaw); and for those who cannot tolerate other types of films (severe gaggers).

The facility has a wider area with a lounge, training room and a new wing – the Dental Implant and Whitening section. It uses only the best materials such as Brite Smile and Zoom Teeth Whitening System, Damon Braces and 3M brand.

Its team of friendly, experienced and highly qualified team of Filipino dentists, well-trained laboratory technicians, x-ray experts, laboratory assistants and receptionists provide personalized professional care.

Once Green Apple Dental undergoes the process for ISO certification, aspects such as filling and restorative materials, prosthodontic materials, terminology, dental instruments, dental equipment, oral care products, dental implants, dental CAD/CAM systems will be evaluated.

Green Apple Dental Vice President for External Affairs, Dr. Gamaliel S. Urbi, DDM, FIAO added, “The ISO accreditation is another step towards promoting medical tourism in Cebu. Green Apple Dental will be an attraction for dental patients from abroad to come to the city to avail of quality dental services while vacationing around the city’s tourist attractions.” (FREEMAN)
