Vice-President of the Ghana Dental Association is predicting an avalanche of quality private dental facilities in Ghana after he outdoored a state-of-the-art specialist clinic, Platinum-Dental.
Mr Asante Appiah observed Ghanaian professionals who have lived abroad can longer appreciate the lack of quality specialist healthcare in Ghana and are determined to provoke "changes in perception and changes in the old way of doing things for all these years".
The Platinum Orthodontic and Dental Care Services is promising to offer the best dentistry in Ghana, Africa. Located at Airport residential Area close to Lister Hospital, the world-class facility provides teeth whitening, endodontics, dental veneers, implants, crowns and bridges, periodontics, fresh breath clinics, anti-snoring - the works.
All with the aim to simply make clients - smile.


Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed.
There are about five orthodontists in Ghana, the Vice-President revealed.
CEO of Platinum-Dental Services and Orthodonist, Dr Norvishie Arkutu told Myjoyonline.com, " I was tired of hearing Ghanaians travelling abroad to get treatment. I wanted to give people something they can find anywhere in the world".
Making a point about the importance of dentistry, she said, a person's teeth has implications for the heart, lungs and a person's job prospects.
The specialist who left Ghana at age 7, was motivated to return home after conceiving the idea to set up the facility.
Platinum-Dental shows the CEO's great taste for modern architecture and detailed interior which she said is deliberately designed to provide a relaxing atmosphere.

With beautifully manicured lawns and a happy staff, the specialist clinic is set to provide a new experience in dental services.
There is a play room for kids all aimed at making the often difficult trip to the dentist is sought-after experience.
"It took a good two and a half years to bring it together", she revealed to a decent gathering at the premises

According to the Vice-President of GDA, the facility will also double as the campus for the first-ever private post-graduate programme in Dentistry in Ghana.
This center will serve as one of the places where we are going to train our orthodontist".
He said it will be in collaboration with the City of London University.
He explained that in the past, a student needed government bursaries to study post-graduate dentistry because it was expensively prohibitive.
"Instead of taking one persons to the U.K and costing government €50,000 plus upkeep, it is cheaper and easier" to do it in Ghana", Appiah Asante argued.
He said the programme will start October 2014.
