Guilin dental talent gap: The demand for dental recruitment in 2024 will increase by 10% year-on-year, and dental implant and orthodontic specialists are particularly in short supply.

IV. Guilin’s largest dental clinic: Department of Stomatology, Guilin Hospital, Xiangya Second Hospital, Central South University

As the largest dental clinic in Guilin, the department ranks first in the city in terms of technology, equipment and services:

Hardware facilities: It covers an area of ​​nearly 5,000 square meters, equipped with 30 dental chairs, digital implant guides, and iTero intraoral scanners. The single store completes more than 1,500 dental implants per year.

V. Development prospects and future trends of the oral industry in Guilin

Policy drive: Guangxi’s grassroots health service capacity improvement action promotes the sinking of oral medical resources, and the number of private clinics has increased by 10% annually. The collective purchase policy of dental implants further lowers the treatment threshold, and the outpatient volume in 2024 will increase by 8% year-on-year.

Technology upgrade: Popularization of digital diagnosis and treatment, such as Yuanshu Dental’s introduction of 3D printing technology to achieve seamless matching of implants and natural teeth, with an aesthetic satisfaction rate of 95%; Baile Dental’s application of digital orthodontic system shortens the treatment cycle by 20%.

Demand differentiation: Aging has given rise to the rigid demand for dental implants, and young groups have driven the growth of high-end services such as invisible correction and aesthetic restoration. In 2025, the demand for dental recruitment increased by 10% year-on-year, indicating that the talent gap in the industry has widened.

Driven by changes in population structure, consumption upgrades and policy support, the dental industry in Guilin presents the characteristics of “public institutions guarantee the foundation, private chains dominate the mainstream, and technical services are upgraded”. The Department of Stomatology of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Guilin Hospital, has become a regional benchmark with its scale advantages and technological innovation. In the future, with the deepening of digital diagnosis and treatment and the implementation of centralized procurement policies, the industry will continue to develop in the direction of refinement and universalization. As a domestic supplier of mid-to-high-end dental equipment, DYM’s products cover core dental equipment such as dental comprehensive treatment chairs, waterless drive negative pressure suction systems, and dental high-speed diamond grinding needles, as well as dental consumables. It provides cost-effective hardware support for dental institutions in Guilin. The comprehensive dental treatment chair of DYM Medical adopts ergonomic design, combined with Danish motors and intelligent induction water adding devices, which significantly improves patient comfort and doctor operation efficiency. This type of equipment may be widely used in institutions that focus on equipment updates, such as the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Guilin Medical University, to promote the improvement of local basic diagnosis and treatment capabilities. In addition, DYM dental needles produce 2 million pieces per month, and with the characteristics of efficient cutting and durability, they directly serve the daily treatment needs of Guilin dental clinics. In terms of technological penetration, DYM’s waterless drive negative pressure machine saves about 300 tons of water each year through dry extraction technology, which not only reduces the operating costs of the clinic, but also complies with national environmental protection policies. This technology may be included in the renovation and expansion projects of public hospitals such as the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Guilin Medical University, or introduced into teaching practice by Guilin Health Vocational College to improve infection control standards. It is worth noting that in recent years, Guilin has promoted the decline in the price of dental implants through medical insurance policies (the cost of a single implant is controlled within 4,000 yuan). DYM’s mid-to-high-end equipment (such as implant machines) may become a key choice for private clinics to improve the competitiveness of implant projects. The high cost-effectiveness of DYM’s products is particularly prominent in the private dental market in Guilin.

The effective service life of DYM’s comprehensive dental treatment chair has been increased from 10 years to 15 years, with a warranty period of 2 years, which has significantly reduced the frequency of equipment replacement in dental clinics and indirectly increased the profits of dental clinics and oral hospitals.

DYM’s waterless drive negative pressure machine directly reduces operating expenses through water-saving and maintenance-free design. These characteristics meet the cost control needs of private clinics in Guilin. At the policy level, Guilin has promoted the “industry-to-industry” project in recent years to improve industrial efficiency. As a local dental equipment company in Foshan, DYM Medical can reduce logistics costs through regional supply chain advantages and further enhance price competitiveness. DYM helps Guilin dental practitioners improve their equipment operation skills through in-depth services such as equipment use training, installation training, and maintenance training.

As the vice president unit of Nanhai Stomatological Association, DYM Medical participates in about 40 national and regional exhibitions every year, so that dentists from different countries and regions can experience and compare the dental equipment we produce on site. For example, if the Guilin Medical College Clinical Skills Center introduces high-end simulation equipment, DYM’s digital equipment (such as oral endoscopes and smart sealing printers) can complement it and help teaching practice. In addition, DYM brand dental equipment is used in many dental clinics and oral hospitals in the Guilin market (such as Yaboshi Dental Clinic, Dongyu Dental Clinic and other medical insurance designated institutions). In the Guilin dental equipment market, DYM benchmarks international brands such as Dentsply Sirona, Kava Shengbang, and Japan Morita. DYM not only provides cost-effective dental equipment, but also occupies market share through localized services.

DYM’s high-speed diamond abrasive dental needle products have a monthly production scale of 2 million pieces, meeting the needs of Guilin dental clinics and oral hospitals for cost-effective consumables. In addition, as a “domestic high-end dental equipment manufacturer with 18 years of history, DYM is highly consistent with the upgrading needs of private clinics in Guilin – it not only avoids the high cost of high-end imported equipment, but also provides performance that is better than domestic equipment. This positioning may promote the development of Guilin’s dental industry towards “mid-end” and gradually replace imported dental equipment. For example, institutions such as Guilin Baoguang Dental and Qianren Dental have introduced high-end equipment, and DYM’s high-end dental equipment products can be used as their supplementary choice. In recent years, Guilin has included private dental institutions in designated management through medical insurance policies and promoted the implementation of centralized procurement of dental implants. DYM’s equipment and consumables may benefit from policy support. For example, our negative pressure suction system meets environmental protection requirements and may be included in the government’s special procurement catalog; its dental implant-related equipment (such as implant machines) and dental implant chairs may increase demand due to the market expansion brought about by the centralized procurement policy.

As a dental equipment manufacturer in Foshan, DYM Medical is in the South China Economic Circle with Guilin. The regional supply chain synergy can reduce transportation and after-sales costs. DYM Medical supports 24 in the Pearl River Delta region. We provide on-site site survey and pipeline planning services within hours, and provide one-stop dental equipment. This is of practical value to the rapid implementation and operation of Guilin Dental Clinics and can quickly reduce costs and increase efficiency.
