Dentalis is a boutique dental clinic in a heritage shophouse at 52 Craig Rd in Singapore's CBD, founded by Dr Jonathan Liu, who brings over 25 years of clinical experience since 1999 and has treated more than 10,000 patients. The clinic positions itself around an unhurried, considered approach to dentistry, guided by what it calls a Longevity Framework — where each clinical decision is made not just for today, but for how a patient's teeth, bite and facial balance evolve over time.
Dentalis offers a full range of aesthetic and restorative dental services, including Invisalign clear aligner therapy, professional teeth whitening, wisdom tooth removal, root canal treatment, dental implants, dentures, crowns and general fillings. Dr Liu is an accredited Invisalign provider, known for his calm chairside manner, clear communication and conservative, patient-centric treatment planning.
The clinic has been recognised with several awards in 2026, including APAC Insider's Best Boutique Dental Practice and Patient Care Excellence Award, and Business Circle's Best Boutique Aesthetic & Restorative Dental Practice for Tanjong Pagar, alongside a 5.0-star Google rating from 136 reviews.
Housed in a heritage shophouse at 52 Craig Rd, Dentalis offers a different kind of dental experience in the heart of Singapore's CBD, built around the philosophy that good dentistry should be unhurried, considered, and grounded in genuine experience.
Dentalis was founded by Dr Jonathan Liu, who holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the National University of Singapore and has practised for over 25 years since 1999, treating more than 10,000 patients along the way. Known for his calm chairside manner, clear communication and meticulous approach, Dr Liu is an accredited Invisalign provider whose clinical philosophy emphasises accurate diagnosis, conservative planning, and long-term oral health over rushed or pushy treatment.
Central to how Dentalis operates is what the clinic calls a Longevity Framework — the idea that dentistry, done well, is cumulative rather than episodic. Every decision, from a filling to an alignment, is considered as part of a larger picture involving facial harmony, structural integrity, and long-term stability, not just the immediate problem in front of the dentist. As Dr Liu puts it, true luxury in dentistry isn't just the aesthetic outcome, but the peace of mind that comes from judgement that lasts 20 years, not two.
The clinic's core clinical strengths span four key areas: Invisalign Clear Aligner Therapy for crooked teeth, guided by facial harmony planning; Professional Teeth Whitening that lifts stains while protecting enamel and comfort; Wisdom Tooth Removal for impacted teeth, handled with comfort-focused, clear planning and claimable through Medisave; and Root Canal Treatment, which preserves a natural tooth from infection before it's topped with a crown. Beyond these signatures, Dentalis also offers dentures, dental crowns, dental implants, guided biofilm therapy, ICON resin infiltration, mouth guards, sleep apnea management, and general tooth fillings.
Dentalis positions itself deliberately against high-volume, fast-turnover dental clinics. The practice emphasises practice-led care rather than production-driven scheduling, continuity with the same dentist rather than rotating providers, and unhurried appointments that prioritise understanding before treatment. Patients' longer-term dental future is considered, not just the immediate issue, and the clinic's unique shophouse setting is intentionally designed to soften the senses rather than feel like a typical clinical environment.
Recognising that dental nerves are common, Dentalis has built specific approaches around patient comfort, including anxiety-aware dentistry with gentle, calm communication and unhurried pacing for nervous patients, and a broader commitment to comfort throughout every visit — from clinical technique to the calming physical space itself.
Dentalis has picked up several accolades in 2026, including APAC Insider's Singapore Business Awards for Best Boutique Dental Practice and Patient Care Excellence, and the Business Circle Awards' Best Boutique Aesthetic & Restorative Dental Practice for Tanjong Pagar. The clinic holds a 5.0-star Google rating across 136 reviews, with patients repeatedly praising Dr Liu's skill with complex cases, his gentle chairside manner, and his ability to put anxious patients at ease — several reviewers specifically mention past traumatic experiences at other dental practices being replaced by a calmer, more reassuring experience at Dentalis.
Dentalis accepts a range of payment and insurance options, including CHAS, Medisave, Cigna, Allianz, AXA PPP, Alliance Medinet, HMI MHC, Mednefits, MSIG and Now Health International, making treatment more accessible for eligible patients.
Dentalis is located at 52 Craig Rd, Singapore 089690, near Maxwell, Tanjong Pagar and Outram MRT stations. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm and Saturday from 9am to 1pm, closed Sundays and public holidays — offering a considered, boutique dental experience for patients across Singapore's CBD.
