Advanced Dental Woodlands Central: Dental Care Right at Woodlands MRT

Located directly within Woodlands MRT Station, Advanced Dental Woodlands Central offers general, cosmetic, and specialist-led dental care to patients across Woodlands, Admiralty, Marsiling, and Khatib. As part of the wider Advanced Dental group, the clinic brings a broad treatment menu to one of the North region's busiest transport hubs.

A Team of General and Specialist Dentists

The clinic's team includes Dr Julia Foo, a Registrar in the Department of Orthodontics with a BDS and MDS in Orthodontics, alongside dental surgeons Dr Cassandra Yeo, Dr Jennifer Chong, Dr Li Yinghui, and Dr Marcus Phoa, all holding a BDS. This combination of general dental surgeons and orthodontic specialist support means both routine dental care and more involved cases can be handled without needing to travel to a different clinic.

Root Canal Treatment: Saving Natural Teeth

One of the clinic's core specialist services is root canal treatment, which removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes, and seals the canals so the natural tooth can be kept rather than extracted. Treatment is usually completed in one to three visits, each commonly around an hour, with a crown often recommended afterward to protect the tooth.

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 — figures that exclude the post, core, and crown. Simple cases are typically handled by general dentists, with complex cases, such as molars with multiple canals or re-treatment of a failed root canal, referred to in-house specialists.

Patients may be eligible for CHAS subsidies covering up to two root canal treatments per calendar year, with amounts varying by CHAS tier and tooth type, and patients aged 60 and above can also draw on Flexi-MediSave, up to $400 a year, toward treatment at CHAS dental clinics.

Restorative and Cosmetic Options

Beyond root canal treatment, Advanced Dental Woodlands Central offers a wide range of restorative and cosmetic procedures. For missing teeth, the clinic covers implants (a titanium post restored with a crown, typically taking three to six months from placement to final crown), crowns and bridges, and dentures, alongside a general overview service for patients weighing up the options between implants, bridges, and dentures.

Cosmetic patients can access veneers — thin porcelain or composite shells bonded to the front of teeth to address chips, gaps, or discolouration — and whitening, using dental-grade gel applied in-clinic or through custom take-home trays. For orthodontic patients, retainers are available to hold teeth in position after braces or aligner treatment.

Everyday and Family Care

Routine care isn't overlooked either: check-ups and cleaning are recommended every six months, and fillings and extractions are available for decay, damage, or crowding issues. 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.

Advanced Dental Woodlands Central sits within Woodlands MRT Station itself, a 350m walk from the station, with bus routes 160, 178, 856, and 950 also stopping nearby.
