KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia/SINGAPORE: One of South-East Asia’s largest dental groups is expanding its international chain of clinics. Q&M Dental Group in Malaysia has announced the acquisition of the White Smile Orthodontic Dental Braces Specialist Clinic in Kuala Lumpur, currently owned by orthodontic specialist Dr Rueben Axel How Wee Ming.

According to the Reuter Business Report, Dr How agreed on Wednesday to transfer monetary assets worth 400,000 Ringgit (US$120,000) and his patients’ database to Q&M. He has also agreed to practise exclusively for the group for the next two years, the report said.

The practice currently offers orthodontic treatment and teeth-whitening procedures. On its website, it claims to be the first to have offered lingual braces treatment in Malaysia.

Singapore Exchange-listed Q&M, which went public in 2009, maintains 45 clinics with 100 dentists nationwide. The group also has a number of associated clinics in China and Malaysia. Recent acquisitions include Quantumleap Healthcare, a dental equipment manufacturer based in Singapore.
