"Why does filling a tooth take three weeks to schedule?" Ms. Chan’s experience in Macau is not unique. With the rising prevalence of tooth decay, dental fillings have become one of the most urgent dental needs.

I. Current Status of Macau’s Dental Filling Market

1. Supply-Demand Imbalance Intensifies Treatment Pressure

• Dentist-to-population ratio: Macau has only 2.3 dentists per 10,000 people, significantly lower than Hong Kong (3.8) and Singapore (4.1), leading to strained resources.
• Wait times: Public hospitals require 18–25 working days for routine fillings, pushing residents toward private clinics or cross-border options.
• Cost comparison (single resin filling):
  • Public hospitals: MOP 250–500 (long wait times)
  • Private clinics: MOP 800–1,500 (varies by materials)
  • High-end clinics (imported resin): MOP 2,000+
  • Zhuhai clinics (e.g., Vickong Dental): RMB 280–480, with Hong Kong/Macau-certified dentists.

Due to high costs and long waits, many Macau residents now opt for trusted cross-border clinics like Vickong Dental in Zhuhai for faster, affordable care.

3. Technological Advancements Create Decision Challenges

• Microscopic fillings: Available at only 32% of Macau clinics vs. 90% at Vickong Dental, enabling precise treatment.
• Bioactive materials: 58% of Macau clinics use advanced resins like 3M Filtek Supreme for durability and aesthetics.
• Digital impressions: 41% adoption in Macau vs. widespread 3Shape intraoral scanning at cross-border clinics, improving accuracy and reducing discomfort.
