About Kekala
Our Story!
Message from Teresa, the Founder
I know the dental industry in Asia well. My involvement began in 1996, when I was part of a landmark gathering of more than 200 CEOs and senior executives representing some of the world’s most respected dental institutions. It was an early moment in what would soon become the global dental tourism industry.
At that time, I worked with the Economist and Business Traveler Magazines in the development of the IMT, a global dental travel publication created to inform and connect international patients with healthcare services around the world.
Since those early days, I have continued to work with dental institutions, helping consumers understand their options and guiding patients through unfamiliar healthcare systems. Throughout this work, my purpose has remained the same: to help people find reputable, high-quality care at a cost they can afford.
It is this experience that I now bring to Kekala. We invite you to talk with our concierge, explore your options, ask questions, and determine together the best way forward for your dental needs.
