Advanced Dental Boon Keng Century: Dental Care Steps from Boon Keng MRT

Just 180 metres from Boon Keng MRT Station, Advanced Dental Boon Keng Century serves a wide catchment across the Central region, including Boon Keng, Kallang Bahru, Little India, Jalan Besar, Farrer Park, and Bendemeer. As part of the wider Advanced Dental group, the clinic combines everyday dental care with more specialised services.

A Team With a Notable Geriatric Focus

The clinic's team is led by Dr CJ Cai, Clinical Director, alongside dental surgeons Dr Evelyn Khong, Dr Gerald Loke, and Dr Melvin Lau. What sets this clinic apart is Dr Natasha Poon, a Registrar in the Department of Geriatrics holding a Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Dentistry — a specialisation that's less commonly found and particularly relevant given the clinic's location amid established, older housing estates.

Cosmetic and Restorative Options

Aesthetic dentistry is a core offering at this clinic, covering whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, and alignment — all planned around a patient's bite and overall oral health rather than as standalone cosmetic fixes. For patients needing more structural work, the clinic offers crowns and bridges (a crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth, while a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto neighbouring teeth, both typically completed over two visits) and dentures, available as full or partial replacements in acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium.

For missing teeth requiring a more permanent solution, the clinic offers implants — a titanium post placed in the jawbone and restored with a crown once healed, typically taking three to six months from placement to final crown — supported by bone grafts where additional jawbone is needed to anchor the implant securely.

Surgical and Everyday Care

Oral surgery at this clinic covers surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts, and biopsies, performed under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia depending on complexity. For more routine needs, the clinic handles check-ups and cleaning recommended every six months, fillings, and standard extractions, discussing replacement options with patients before any tooth is removed.

Families are also catered for through the clinic's Children Dentistry service, covering first visits, check-ups, fluoride treatment, fissure sealants, and fillings, paced to each child's comfort — and for patients who've completed orthodontic treatment, retainers are available to hold results in place.

Part of a Larger Network

Advanced Dental Boon Keng Century sits within a broader group of 45 dentists practising across 22 clinics island-wide in Singapore. Most visits across the group are for routine check-ups, scaling and polishing, fillings, and extractions, while specialist clinics like this one also offer orthodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery, paediatric dentistry, and cosmetic treatments. Most Advanced Dental clinics, including this one, accept same-day bookings alongside CHAS, MediSave, and common insurance panels.
