Looking for a family dental clinic near you?

Whether you’ve newly landed in Singapore or have been here for a while, having a reliable family dental clinic that’s just a phone call (or even better, a short ride) away is going to make life easier. If you’ve ever found yourself frantically Googling “Where’s a dentist near me?”, one name to know is Dental Designs Clinic, with three centrally located branches at Raffles Place, Orchard and Cecil Street.

A welcoming family dental clinic

One thing the team at Dental Designs Clinic understands is that a trip to the dentist is not something most people look forward to. “That’s why, instead of affirming negative associations of discomfort and pain in a sterile environment, we’ve created a calm, comfortable space designed with your needs in mind,” says Dr Bernard Siew, a senior dentist at the family dental clinic.

Gone are traditional messy moulds, replaced by digital scanners to offer appointments that are faster and more comfortable. And thanks to the clinic’s fully digital workflow and in-house lab, treatments like dental crowns, veneers and custom mouth guards can also be done quicker and with more precision.

Language barriers are also no concern here. Dentists at this family dental clinic speak a wide range of languages. These include English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay, Tamil, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and French.

Experienced dentists from all over the world

Another thing that sets Dental Designs apart is the breadth of expertise and international training among its dental team. Here, dentists come from all over the world with training from institutions across the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the US. According to Dr Siew, “this international experience means they understand the needs of patients from different cultures and bring a well-rounded perspective to both treatment and care. Many of our dentists are also actively involved in the broader dental community. They participate in global research, speak at conferences and publish in peer-reviewed journals.”

“This ensures that the care we provide is not only modern but also grounded in evidence-based practices,” adds Dr Siew, who himself has made contributions to international research on hydroxyapatite with a strong focus on holistic, evidence-based care.

Similarly, clinical director Dr Justin Giam has shared his expertise through lectures at the National Dental Centre and conferences like IDEM Singapore. He works closely with leading dental technology companies to bring innovative treatments to patients.

Also on the team is US-trained Dr Maria Raskina, who has a special interest in laser dentistry and is particularly popular among her Russian-speaking patients. Dr Phillip Miller, meanwhile, has a background in innovative research, and is well-informed when it comes to new dental materials and techniques, particularly in digital dentistry. And Dr Peter Tang, having practiced in both rural and urban communities in New Zealand, brings a well-rounded perspective to the team.

All your family’s needs in one place

From your little one’s first check-up to Invisalign for your teen or even dental surgery for yourself, the team at Dental Designs Clinic provides a full range of services. Everything from preventive to cosmetic and surgical dental treatments can be done under the same roof. So there’s no more juggling multiple appointments at different dental clinics.

“We believe that when your dentist truly listens, understands your concerns and treats you like family, it makes all the difference,” explains Dr Siew.

Fewer worries about insurance coverage

Understanding health insurance coverage can be tricky – especially if you’re in a new country. To help ease that worry, Dental Designs Clinic works directly with a wide range of international and local insurance providers. They include Henner, Bupa, Chubb, MSIG, Euro-Center, Cynergy Care, United Healthcare and Europ Assistance. Direct billing is available for selected providers.

“Our friendly front desk team can help you navigate these claims so you can focus on your dental health,” adds Dr Siew.
