“After 25 years, we are the strongest group of private dental clinics in the country and a team of over 600 people. The commitment assumed from the beginning was to offer Romanians innovative and effective medical solutions for their oral health. Together with MedLife, we have built an integrated healthcare system for health excellence, shaped generations of physicians, and invested in education and community. We are grateful for the trust patients have placed in us all this time. In the coming years, we will continue what we started in 1999: to have a real and positive impact in the medical system in Romania and to really contribute to the state of health of Romanians”, declared Dr. Oana Taban, CEO and Founder of DENT ESTET
The MedLife – DENT ESTET partnership – For 8 years, the 360° approach to patient health care

The national expansion was accelerated by the partnership signed in April 2016 with MedLife, the largest private medical services network in the country. After this date, the development strategy was based on greenfield investments, but also the acquisition of top clinics in the market.
The 8 years with MedLife have favored an accelerated growth of DENT ESTET clinics on all levels: the increase in the number of dental units from 40 to 110, the 147% increase in the number of unique patients, the 164% increase in the number of visits and the 160 % of the number of dentists.

This innovative perspective for the medical system in Romania has proven to be a success, with the increase in interest for integrated oral health subscriptions being 20% from quarter to quarter.
“When you choose to guide your activity based on principles such as the quality of the medical act, innovation and digitization, the results can only be excellent. And the balance of the 8 years of partnership with DENT ESTETH prove this. The good performance of the group of dental clinics is mainly due to the extensive experience of the medical team and the interest in providing patients with the latest technologies in oral health. We are glad that more and more Romanians are aware of the role that oral care has in the general state of health and choose quality and performance. In the next period, we will focus on consolidating the integrated system we have created, through investments in digitization, development in the corporate segment, but also expanding the activity in other areas of the country”, he declared Dorin Preda, Executive Director of MedLife Group.
Pioneer in integrated digital dentistry
