Advanced Dental Punggol Waterway: Dental Care Inside Waterway Point

Located within Waterway Point, just a short walk from Punggol MRT Station, Advanced Dental Punggol Waterway serves a broad catchment across Punggol, Seletar, Sengkang, Edgefield, Edgedale, and Sumang. As part of the Advanced Dental group, the clinic pairs orthodontic expertise with a full range of general dental care.

Leadership and Orthodontic Specialist Support

The clinic is co-led by two Clinical Directors, Dr Ashley Lin and Dr CJ Cai. Supporting them is Dr Julia Foo, a Registrar in the Department of Orthodontics holding a BDS and MDS in Orthodontics — a notable presence given the clinic's strong focus on teeth-straightening procedures. Dental surgeons Dr Huiqing Chua, Dr Keewen Ho, and Dr Lim Jing Yu round out the team for general dentistry.

Straightening Teeth: Braces and Invisalign

Orthodontic treatment is a clear focus at this clinic. Braces use fixed metal or ceramic brackets and wires to move teeth into alignment, with adjustments every four to eight weeks and treatment commonly taking 18 to 30 months. For patients who prefer a less visible option, Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners, changed every one to two weeks, with treatment typically taking 6 to 18 months depending on case complexity. Once orthodontic treatment is complete, retainers — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth — help hold the results in place.

Root Canal Treatment: Saving Natural Teeth

The clinic also offers root canal treatment, removing infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth and sealing the canals so the natural tooth can be kept rather than extracted. Treatment usually takes one to three visits, with a crown often recommended afterward.

Pricing depends on whether the case is handled by a general dentist or a specialist endodontist. With a general dentist, a front tooth root canal runs from $500 to $700, a premolar $700 to $900, and a molar $1,000 to $1,300. With a specialist, prices run from $700 to $1,100 for a front tooth, $1,000 to $1,400 for a premolar, and $1,300 to $1,800 for a molar, excluding the post, core, and crown. Patients may be eligible for CHAS subsidies covering up to two root canal treatments per calendar year, and patients aged 60 and above can also draw on Flexi-MediSave, up to $400 a year, toward treatment at CHAS dental clinics.

Sleep and Restorative Care

For patients dealing with snoring or mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, the clinic offers custom-made oral appliances that hold the lower jaw forward during sleep to keep the airway open. On the restorative side, crowns and bridges, dentures (full or partial, in acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium), and a general overview service for replacing missing teeth round out the clinic's offering.

Everyday and Family Care

Routine check-ups and cleaning are recommended every six months, alongside fillings and extractions for common issues, with replacement options discussed before any tooth is removed. The clinic also runs a dedicated Children Dentistry service, covering first visits, check-ups, fluoride treatment, fissure sealants, and fillings, paced to each child's comfort.
