Dental Tourism Summit

Dental Tourism has a large market share in the overall medical tourism industry in the world, and with its ever increasing share, it was a no brainer to hold an event regarding the industries future and current trends.

The event hosted industry experts around the world, namely spain, mexico, france, Turkey, US and the UK. The speakers selected to represent each of these countries gave presentations on their countries trends and the distribution of their patients operations. Overall, dental implant treatments had the largest share with %31 of all operations being dental implants of different sorts, followed by dental crowns with %21 percent

Being aware of the importance of dental implant and crown treatments beforehand, digitalmediaact organisers decided to give them a special importance, with 1/3 of the summit being dedicated to presenters giving speeches related to their respective topics. Weldron clinic from United Kingdom gave a presentation on the health benefits of dental implants, whereas a dental clinic from Turkey gave their speech on the marketing aspect of dental implants. The marketing speech was especially well received by listeners, since it demonstrated how simple measures can be taken to increase conversion of prospective clients to increase dental tourism as Periodonta dental clinic did with themselves with their blog post being written about whether it's safe to drink tea after a dental implant surgery.
