Advanced Dental Jurong West is a neighbourhood dental clinic at Blk 498 Jurong West Street 41, #01-478, about 900 metres from Lakeside MRT (EW26) and serving residents of Jurong, Tengah and Lakeside. It is part of Advanced Dental, a group of dental practices across Singapore focused on general, cosmetic and specialist-led care close to where people live, learn and work.
Treatment here covers the full span of everyday and advanced dentistry: check-ups with scaling and polishing, children's dentistry, tooth-coloured fillings, extractions, crowns and bridges, dentures, implants, root canal treatment, whitening, wisdom tooth surgery and same-day emergency care for urgent problems such as toothache or a broken tooth.
Hours are built around real schedules — the clinic opens until 8.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and runs 9am to 5pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so care is available seven days a week. The team includes Dr Kenneth Cheong, Registrar in the Department of Orthodontics, alongside five dental surgeons. The clinic accepts CHAS, MediSave, Baby Bonus (CDA) and CDC vouchers, as well as cash, credit cards, PayNow and NETS.
Tucked into the ground floor of Block 498 on Jurong West Street 41, Advanced Dental Jurong West brings the group's brand of neighbourhood dentistry to residents of Jurong, Tengah and Lakeside. It is one of Advanced Dental's clinics across Singapore — a practice group built around general, cosmetic and specialist-led care, close to where people live, learn and work. For this corner of the west, that means a full-service dental clinic roughly 900 metres from Lakeside MRT (EW26), open every day of the week.
Dental appointments are notoriously hard to squeeze into a working week, and this clinic's hours are clearly designed with that in mind. It stays open until 8.30pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, so an after-work or after-school visit is realistic rather than rushed. Wednesdays run 9am to 5pm, and the weekend hours — 9am to 5pm on both Saturday and Sunday — make it easy for families to book check-ups without anyone missing school or taking leave.
The clinic covers the everyday essentials: six-monthly check-ups with scaling and polishing, tooth-coloured fillings usually done in a single visit, and extractions under local anaesthesia when a tooth cannot be saved. Children get their own pathway — first visits, fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings, all paced to each child's comfort.
Restorative work is well covered too. Crowns and bridges typically take two visits; dentures, full or partial, are fitted over several appointments with adjustments as you adapt. For missing teeth, implants replace the root with a titanium post in the jawbone, restored with a crown once healed — typically a three-to-six-month journey from placement to final crown — and a dedicated Replacing Missing Teeth consultation walks through implants, bridges and dentures side by side.
More complex needs are handled here as well: wisdom tooth surgery for impacted or partially erupted teeth under local anaesthesia or sedation, and whitening with dental-grade gel, either in-clinic or via custom take-home trays. And when something goes wrong suddenly — a toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, a lost filling or crown — the group's emergency dentistry offers same-day care at the nearest available clinic.
Root canal treatment is one of the cornerstones of the practice. The philosophy is simple: save the natural tooth wherever possible, because it maintains biting and chewing function, prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting and preserves the jawbone. Treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp, cleans and seals the canals, and usually takes one to three visits, with a crown often fitted afterwards to protect the tooth.
The group is candid about the fear many people carry, noting that pain is one of the main reasons patients avoid going to the dentist — which is why its dentists are equipped to provide a comfortable experience with various anaesthetic options. Simple root canal cases are handled by general dentists; complex ones, such as molars with many canals or failed previous treatments, are referred to in-house specialists.
Six dentists see patients at Jurong West. Dr Kenneth Cheong is a Registrar in the Department of Orthodontics, holding a BDS and MDS (Orthodontics), joined by dental surgeons Dr Cassandra Yeo, Dr Felicia Teo, Dr Jennifer Chong, Dr Marcus Phoa and Dr Nicholas Low, all BDS-qualified. Appointments can be booked online with a specific dentist.
Subsidy routes are clearly signposted. The clinic accepts CHAS, MediSave and Baby Bonus (CDA), plus CDC vouchers, alongside cash, credit cards, PayNow and NETS — a practical mix for a heartland clinic, whether the visit is a routine polish or a larger treatment plan.
