Advanced Dental Sengkang: Dental Care Inside Rivervale Mall

Located within Rivervale Mall near Rumbia LRT Station, Advanced Dental Sengkang serves patients across Punggol and the surrounding Rivervale area with a treatment menu backed by two Clinical Directors and a mix of orthodontic and geriatric specialists.

Leadership and Specialist Support

The clinic is co-led by Dr Ashley Lin and Dr CJ Cai, both Clinical Directors. Supporting them is Dr Julia Foo, a Registrar in the Department of Orthodontics holding a BDS and MDS in Orthodontics, and Dr Natasha Poon, a Registrar in the Department of Geriatrics with a Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Dentistry — giving the clinic dedicated expertise at both ends of the age spectrum, from teenagers needing braces to older patients with more complex care needs. Dental surgeons Dr Beverly Goh and Dr Candy Ding round out the team for everyday general dentistry.

Cosmetic and Restorative Care

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. 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 — along with dentures, available as full or partial replacements in acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium.

For tooth replacement 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.

Surgical and Everyday Dentistry

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

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

Part of a Larger Network

Advanced Dental Sengkang 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.

Reaching the clinic involves a short multi-step journey: a 48m walk from Sengkang MRT to Sengkang LRT Station, a train ride toward Compassvale, alighting two stops later at Rumbia Station, then a 187m walk to Rivervale Mall. Bus routes 27, 50, 86, 119, 136, 371, 654, and 858 also serve the area. Payment options include CHAS, MediSave, and Baby Bonus (CDA) where eligible, alongside cash, credit cards, PayNow, and NETS.
