Posted by In an impressive feat of entrepreneurial excellence, Dr. May Chan and Dr. Reuben Sim, founders of Dental Boutique, have been awarded the prestigious Melbourne Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for 2023. This marks their third consecutive win, showcasing their remarkable achievements and contributions to the healthcare industry.
Dental Boutique, renowned for its transformative work, has enhanced over 30,000 smiles in the past year alone. Their recent expansion into Geelong and Brisbane has further solidified their presence, and plans to establish clinics in Perth, Chatswood, Newcastle, and Auckland are on the horizon.
This notable recognition reflects not only their personal success but also the quality of care and services they offer to their patients. Despite strong competition from fellow finalists, Dr. Chan and Dr. Sim’s outstanding contributions to the healthcare sector shone through.
Dr. Chan and Dr. Sim’s journey in the dental field began in 2008 when they completed their dental training at the University of Adelaide. After gaining experience with some of the world’s leading cosmetic dentists, they decided to create Dental Boutique. Their vision was to provide a judgment-free space where patients could experience dentistry in a unique and comfortable way.
Dr. Chan’s own experience, having suffered from a childhood fall that affected her teeth and her confidence, inspired her to pursue a career in cosmetic dentistry. Her transformation led her to understand the profound impact a confident smile can have on one’s life.
Dental Boutique’s mission is to empower individuals to achieve their dream smiles while overcoming dental anxiety. They offer high-quality dental services through a team of renowned cosmetic dentists, dental surgeons, oral health therapists, and master ceramists. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, advanced techniques, and trusted, high-quality materials.
Dr. Sim emphasized that their team is instrumental in realizing the Dental Boutique vision. With 143 full-time employees and 45 part-time, casual, or contract workers, they work diligently to challenge industry norms and offer affordable cosmetic dentistry. Dental Boutique aims to remove the misconception that cosmetic dentistry is solely for the affluent by providing accessible payment plans, early superannuation release options, and customized treatment plans to suit patients’ budgets.
This award not only recognizes their exceptional work but also highlights their aspirations for international expansion. In addition to New Zealand, they plan to introduce their successful business model in Singapore and Malaysia.
The 2023 Melbourne Young Entrepreneur Awards celebrated many remarkable finalists, showcasing the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit in the region. Dr. Chan and Dr. Sim, along with Dental Boutique, continue to set high standards in the healthcare industry, and their commitment to improving smiles and changing lives is truly commendable.
