Aesthetic Dentistry
Treatments that change how teeth look — whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns and alignment — planned around your bite and overall oral health.
Procedures at Advanced Dental Bishan
27 procedures offered. See the clinic page.
Bone Grafts
Rebuilds jawbone lost after extractions or gum disease, usually to create enough bone for a dental implant. The graft integrates with your own bone over several months.
Botulinum Injection
Botulinum toxin injections for dental indications such as jaw muscle pain, teeth grinding (bruxism) and a gummy smile. Effects appear within days and last around three to four months.
Braces
Fixed metal or ceramic brackets and wires that move teeth into alignment, adjusted every four to eight weeks. Treatment commonly takes 18 to 30 months.
Check up and cleaning
A routine visit covering an examination of teeth, gums and existing dental work, with scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar. Recommended every six months.
Children Dentistry
Dental care for infants, children and teens — first visits, check-ups, fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings — paced to each child's comfort.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto the teeth beside the gap. Both typically take two visits.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth — full or partial — made of acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium. Fitting takes several appointments, with adjustments as you adapt.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Family Dentistry
Day-to-day dental care for all ages — check-ups, cleaning, fillings, extractions and preventive care — for the whole household at one clinic.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.
Geriatric Dentistry
Dental care adapted for older adults: dry mouth, worn or heavily restored teeth, gum disease and dentures, with treatment planned around medical conditions and medications.
Gum Treatment
Treats gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease), from deep cleaning of the root surfaces (scaling and root planing) to gum surgery where bone loss has occurred.
Implants
Replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone, restored with a crown once healed. From placement to final crown typically takes three to six months.
Invisalign
Straightens teeth with a series of removable clear aligners changed every one to two weeks. Treatment commonly takes 6 to 18 months depending on case complexity.
Mouthguards
Custom-fitted guards made from impressions of your teeth: sports mouthguards protect against impact, while night guards protect against grinding (bruxism) during sleep.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Custom-made oral appliances that hold the lower jaw forward during sleep to keep the airway open — an option for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.
Oral Surgery
Surgical procedures of the mouth and jaw, including surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts and biopsies, under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia.
Replacing Missing Teeth
An overview of the options for replacing missing teeth — implants, bridges and dentures — covering what each involves, how long each lasts and typical costs.
Retainers
Custom appliances worn after braces or aligner treatment to hold teeth in their corrected positions — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Usually one to three visits; a crown is often recommended afterwards.
Temporomandibular Disorders
Diagnosis and management of jaw-joint and muscle problems — pain, clicking, locking and bite-related headaches — using bite splints, physiotherapy, medication or botulinum injections.
Tooth Sensitivity
Diagnosis and treatment of teeth that ache with cold, heat or sweet food. Depending on the cause, options range from desensitising agents and fillings to gum or root canal treatment.
Veneers
Thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front surface of teeth to change their shape and colour, commonly used for chips, gaps and discolouration.
Whitening
Lightens the shade of natural teeth using dental-grade whitening gel, applied in-clinic or with custom take-home trays. Results vary with the cause of discolouration.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth in a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia or sedation, with stitches removed about one to two weeks later.
X-rays
Digital radiographs that show decay between teeth, infection around roots, and bone changes not visible during a visual examination, at low radiation doses.
