Caring for Singapore Smiles Since 1972
Five decades, two clinics, and a lot of familiar faces. Here is how Koh Dental Surgery got here — and what we hold ourselves to.

-
1972 — Where it began. Nam Seng Dental 南生牙医@ Jurong@ 10 Miles
-
1983 — Singapore Government took over the land of the Nam Seng Dental 南生牙医@ 10 Miles dental clinic and we were relocated to the neighbourhood Jurong East clinic we still run today.
-
1981 — Koh Dental Surgery opens its doors at Hong Leong Gardens. Some of the families who walked in that year are still with us.
-
2013 — A move to One-North. The Hong Leong Gardens site goes en bloc, and we relocate rather than close.
-
2016 — Back where we started. We return to West Coast Drive, opening at NeWest on the very ground our first clinic stood on.
Our Mission, Vision and Core Values
What We Stand For
Our aim has not changed since 1972: to give every patient careful, skilled dental treatment from a team who keep learning, in a clinic where you are known rather than processed.
Careful, personalized treatment
No two mouths are the same. We plan treatment around your teeth, your priorities and your budget — not a standard package.
Strict hygiene and infection control
Every instrument is sterilised to national standards and every surface is prepared between patients. It is invisible work, and we take it seriously.
Dentists who keep learning
Our team attends lectures, conferences and hands-on training so that the techniques and materials we use stay current.
Time, and no pressure
Many people put off the dentist for years. If that is you, tell us — we will go slowly, explain as we go, and stop whenever you need to.
