With its advanced dental facilities and commitment to quality and innovation, Scandinavian dental care is among the best in the world. Quickly becoming one of Norway’s leading dental clinic groups, OC Tannklinikker offers top-notch expertise and accessibility to its patients.
Since its start in 2019, OC Tannklinikker has seen a steady growth. The group has 150 employees across 11 clinics in Norway, with more clinics to be added over the coming years. OC Tannklinikker offers general and specialist treatments, and its broad range of services utilises modern, well-tested methods and equipment that ensure patient satisfaction. At the heart of the organisation is the belief that first-class quality and professionalism are the way forward in private dental care.
“What is best for our patients is the foundation of everything we do. We’ve built a solid and stable profile founded on trust and commitment to professional skill and longevity,” says Andreas Klette, IT & practice development manager. “While we’re at the forefront of the technological development in the industry, we combine this innovation with conservative and well-documented treatment methods.”
At OC clinics, meeting the patient with attention, care and empathy is an integral aspect of the group’s philosophy. According to managing director Henrik Gaupen Forsstrøm, continuity of treatment is a key focus. “Our vision is that our patients should have good oral health throughout their lives. We strive to foster long-standing relationships where they experience our services as safe, reliable and professional,” he says. “We want our patients to feel that they’re being met by familiar faces who know them and their history.”
While OC Tannklinikker is in an exciting period of expansion, the company is determined that growth should not come at the expense of quality. The process of acquiring new clinics is lengthy and involves thorough screening to ensure alignment with values and professionalism. “Fundamentally, dental health is about people,” says Gaupen Forsstrøm. “We want to attract clinics that share our values of quality, continuity and cooperation, and that can become part of our long-term plan.”
OC Tannklinikker is part of the Swedish dental health chain Oral Care, one of Northern Europe’s largest dental providers with over 30 years of experience. Being part of the chain entails considerable benefits, including support to develop digital services that improve accessibility and elevate the dental care experience for patients, which may be challenging for smaller, individual clinics.
The organisation’s focus on research and the development of skills and competence has established Oral Care as a key contributor to the dental industry. “Having our extensive professional network of collaboration, community and frequent conferences is so beneficial,” adds Klette. “We’re all interested in how we can build the future of dental care in Norway.”
