Registrar, Dept of Orthodontics

BDS, MDS (Orthodontics)

Dr. Julia Foo obtained her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the University of Adelaide in 2013 and subsequently completed her training in Orthodontics at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Dr. Julia’s passion for helping patients boost their confidence in their smiles, led her to pursue Orthodontics – a field of dentistry that focuses on prevention, interception, and correction of irregularly positioned teeth as well as jaw discrepancies. She is trained to treat patients of all ages with fixed braces (metal, ceramic and self-ligating) and is an accredited Invisalign provider. She is also able to use growth modification or work with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to address jaw discrepancies with orthognathic (jaw) surgeries.

Before pursuing her Master of Dental Surgery (Orthodontics) (MDS (Ortho)), Dr. Julia practised all aspects of general dentistry. Her years of experience as a generalist has enabled her to develop effective and holistic treatment plans for her patients. She is well-liked by her patients for her professionalism, in genuine service of her patients’ best interests.

Dr. Julia is a member of the Association of Orthodontists, Singapore (AOS) and Singapore Dental Association (SDA).

In her spare time, she enjoys attending concerts, practising Pilates and spending quality time with her loved ones.
