MedPark Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, opened in October 2020. Dentsply Sirona, the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, partnered with Thailand’s largest clinic project in 2020 and supported the setup of the new dental department by providing state-of-the-art equipment and by implementing the full suite of digital dentistry in MedPark’s dental clinic.
MedPark Hospital is one of the top hospitals for patient care in South East Asia. The intention is for the hospital to be the best provider of medical treatments in South East Asia. The new hospital will provide Quaternary Care – an extension of tertiary care – which is even more specialised, such as for experimental medicine and procedures or specialised surgeries.
Not every hospital can offer that level of care. For this reason, installing modern equipment was given a high priority. Dentsply Sirona proved to be a partner with first-class competence in consulting and planning for such a project as well as being a full-service provider of complete end-to-end solutions.
Everything under one roof, from a single source
“As the world’s largest manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, we have a large product portfolio with which we can offer a well-suited product solution for almost every need,” said Wassilios Intzes, national sales manager of Thailand at Dentsply Sirona. “We are a reliable project partner that can deliver a comprehensive product portfolio, expert consultation and planning, training and fully responsive after-sales support.”
MedPark Hospital is equipped with six Sinius and three Intego Pro treatment centres. The SiroLaser Blue, the autoclave DAC Universal, the imaging device Orthophos S 3D, Xios Scan and Xios sensors, and a Heliodent Plus were also integrated into the facility, along with various Dentsply Sirona Restorative products to provide the best possible healthcare to patients to give them back their smiles.
“In such a major project, it is very important to have an experienced partner like Dentsply Sirona, who is also available as a consultant, moderator and coordinator,” explained Dr Pongpat Patanavanich, managing director of MedPark Hospital. “It is the many small details that need to be considered that make our treatment offerings a premium service with premium technology and premium equipment.”
On the way to full digital dentistry
In the second phase of the project, MedPark Hospital was equipped with everything needed for completely digital dentistry, including the CEREC system with the intraoral scanner CEREC Primescan and the new milling unit CEREC Primemill. This enables the hospital to provide chairside restorative treatment for its patients.
Also, Astra Tech Implant System EV and several Dentsply Sirona Endodontics products such as ProTaper Next and K-File were delivered for best-practice dental solutions. In time, the plan for MedPark Hospital is to also become an important location for clinical education.
“We are very pleased with the support of our partner Dentsply Sirona in helping us to succeed in establishing a modern health care center,” said Dr Sonthi Sirimai, head of Dental Department of MedPark Hospital, at the recent opening ceremony. “It is good to know that our teammates will now be able to treat their patients using state-of-the-art equipment with first-class instruments and materials.”
Boris Ip, general manager of Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam at Dentsply Sirona, added: “The future of dentistry is digital. For this reason, our goal is to support dentists in their daily clinical routine with innovative digital solutions that offer the greatest possible added value for both clinicians and patients. Together with the professional expertise of the dental teams, these seamless solutions will take dentistry at Med Park Hospital to a new level.”
