Dr Mike Teoh Dental Clinic on Serangoon Avenue 3 carries a legacy going back close to half a century. Formerly known as Tan Clinic & Dental Surgery, and later TS Tan Dental Surgery, this family practice has spanned three generations of caring for Serangoon residents — and today Dr Mike Teoh proudly 'carries the torch' under a new name.
The clinic is best known for three signature services: wisdom teeth removal, with more than 950 successful surgeries performed as of 2024; computer-guided dental implants, planned digitally before surgery for precise placement; and in-chair teeth whitening using air polishing and digital pre- and post-treatment shade measurement. A full range of general dentistry rounds things out — scaling and polishing, crowns and fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures, clear aligners such as Invisalign, and children's dentistry.
What patients highlight most, though, is how they are treated: every step explained patiently, no pressure into procedures that can wait, and pricing that is publicly listed with no hidden fees or consumable charges. That approach has earned an 'EXCELLENT' Google rating built on over 1,000 five-star reviews (1,278 as of 2024). The clinic is open Monday to Saturday, 9am-1pm and 2pm-6pm, and closed on Sundays, with appointments easily made over WhatsApp.
On a quiet stretch of Serangoon Avenue 3 sits a dental clinic that local families have trusted for close to half a century. Dr Mike Teoh Dental Clinic — formerly Tan Clinic & Dental Surgery, and later TS Tan Dental Surgery — is that rare thing: a practice now carrying three generations of care, where the patient in the chair may well be the child or grandchild of someone who came here decades ago.
Dr Mike Teoh has taken over that legacy and layered something distinctly modern on top of it. The clinic combines old-fashioned neighbourhood familiarity with technology more often associated with hospital groups: computer-guided planning for implants and surgery, 3D scans for crowns, and digital shade measurement for whitening. Its stated philosophy is refreshingly simple — provide affordable treatment that is both *necessary* and *beneficial*, and nothing that isn't.
Wisdom tooth removal is the clinic's flagship service. More than 950 successful wisdom tooth surgeries had been carried out as of 2024, and patient reviews explain why the number keeps climbing: extractions completed in as little as 20 minutes, awkwardly hooked teeth removed in one piece, and a calm voice explaining every step along the way. Several reviewers specifically mention that Dr Mike never pressured them into surgery — one was even advised to wait until she felt completely ready, since she wasn't in pain.
The second signature is computer-guided dental implant treatment. Implants are digitally planned before any surgery takes place, which patients say makes the procedure precise and predictable. Reviews even describe patients who had previously been told they lacked the bone mass for implants being guided through bone-addition surgery and successfully implanted afterwards — an approach one reviewer summed up as 'excellent and ethical'.
Rounding out the three headline services is in-chair teeth whitening. The process is thorough: teeth are air-polished before the whitening gel goes on, and state-of-the-art technology measures tooth colour before and after treatment rather than relying on manual shade guides. Patients report quick, fuss-free appointments with instant, natural-looking results.
The same digital precision carries into crown work — 3D scans produce crowns so accurately matched in fit and colour that patients say they can't tell them apart from their natural teeth.
Transparency is the other quiet signature. The clinic publishes its price list publicly and states plainly that there are no hidden fees or consumable charges — a policy that pairs naturally with its 'necessary and beneficial' philosophy. That approach has clearly resonated: the clinic counts over 1,000 five-star Google reviews, with an 'EXCELLENT' rating based on 1,278 reviews as of 2024.

Whether you're a lifelong Serangoon resident or new to the neighbourhood, it's a clinic where the legacy is half a century long — but the technology, and the advice, are thoroughly of the moment.
