About Bukit Timah Nam Seng Dental Surgery Pte Ltd

Bukit Timah Nam Seng Dental Surgery is a dental clinic located at 144 Upper Bukit Timah Rd, #01-16 Beauty World Centre, Singapore, providing quality dental care since the 1950s. The clinic opened 70 years ago in Bukit Panjang and has built a trusted reputation among patients for high-quality dental treatment at reasonable prices, before relocating to Beauty World Centre in the 1980s to expand its capacity for modern and efficient dental care.

Nam Seng Dental Surgery was founded by the late Mr Koh Eng Bah, a Second Division Registered Dentist, who was well loved by his patients for always putting them first — working through lunch, opening the clinic in the middle of the night for a patient with a broken denture or toothache, and skilfully making dentures tooth by tooth by hand.

Today, the clinic's dental surgeons bring a wide range of experience across specialisations, from simple fillings, extractions, scaling and polishing, to restorative and more complex procedures such as dentures, crowns, bridges, dental implants, wisdom tooth surgery, root canal treatment and teeth whitening. Nam Seng Dental is a CHAS dental clinic, accepting Medisave and providing subsidies for patients with CHAS, Merdeka Generation or Pioneer Generation cards. The clinic is also affiliated with Aelite Implant & Dental Centre, located within the same Beauty World Centre building.
