Neo Smiles Dental Studio, Bishan is the newest branch of the Neo Smiles dental group, located at 501 Bishan Street 11, #01-362, a short walk from Bishan MRT interchange and Junction 8 Shopping Centre. It extends the same heartland-accessible approach Dr Neo Bijuan started in Bedok back in 2015, bringing specialist orthodontics and general dental care to families in Bishan, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh without needing to travel into town.
The clinic offers the full range of Neo Smiles orthodontic treatments - braces, Invisalign, Smartee clear aligners, Invisalign First for kids aged 7 and up, Damon self-ligating braces and palatal expanders - alongside general and restorative dentistry including scaling and polishing, fillings, crowns and bridges, dentures, specialist wisdom tooth surgery, teeth whitening and sedation dentistry for eligible cases. It's also equipped with in-house CBCT (3D cone-beam CT) imaging and 3D intraoral scanning, used for detailed diagnostic work and treatment or surgical planning.
Dr Arella Chen Shuyu practises at the Bishan clinic, supported by the wider Neo Smiles team of orthodontic and oral & maxillofacial specialists Dr Neo Bijuan and Dr Noah Teo, and general dentists Dr Dennis Tng, Dr Shawn Tan Jun Ying, Dr Lim Li Hong and Dr Pramilah Streram. The clinic accepts CHAS, Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation, Public Assistance, Baby Bonus, Medisave (for treatment-eligible cases) and SG60/CDC Vouchers for applicable general dental services.
Neo Smiles Dental Studio Bishan is the newest addition to a dental group that began with a simple observation: specialist braces treatment tended to sit in the city centre, far from the heartland families who needed it most. Dr Neo Bijuan opened the first Neo Smiles clinic in Bedok back in 2015 to change that, and the group has since grown to Serangoon and now Bishan, extending the same accessible, specialist-led approach to families in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh.
The Bishan clinic sits at 501 Bishan Street 11, #01-362, about a 5-7 minute walk from Bishan MRT station and close to Junction 8 Shopping Centre - convenient for parents combining an orthodontic visit with everyday errands. A multi-storey car park sits directly at the clinic for those driving in, and the location gives easy access to both the North-South and Circle MRT lines.
As with all Neo Smiles branches, Bishan offers the full spread of orthodontic options: traditional dental braces, Invisalign, Smartee clear aligners, Damon self-ligating braces, and palatal expanders for younger patients still developing their bite. Families with children aged 7 and up can also consider Invisalign First, a clear aligner system designed specifically for younger jaws. Student braces packages are available too, recognising that a typical course of orthodontic treatment can run for around two years and needs to fit around school life.
Beyond braces, the clinic covers the everyday essentials of dental care - scaling and polishing, fillings, crowns and bridges, and dentures - plus more specialist work such as wisdom tooth removal and surgery, teeth whitening, and sedation dentistry for eligible cases. Having general and specialist care under one roof means patients don't need to be referred elsewhere for more involved procedures.
One of the standout features at the Bishan clinic is its in-house CBCT (cone-beam CT) imaging, which produces detailed 3D views of bones, nerves and soft tissue. This lets the clinical team plan treatment more precisely before a procedure begins, which matters most for dental implants and more intricate surgical cases. The clinic also uses 3D intraoral scanning to support orthodontic assessment and treatment planning, replacing older impression methods with a faster, more detailed digital process.
Dr Arella Chen Shuyu practises at the Bishan clinic, backed by the wider Neo Smiles team, including orthodontic and oral & maxillofacial specialists Dr Neo Bijuan and Dr Noah Teo, and general dentists Dr Dennis Tng, Dr Shawn Tan Jun Ying, Dr Lim Li Hong and Dr Pramilah Streram. All Neo Smiles dentists are registered with the Singapore Dental Council, and the clinic operates under a Ministry of Health licence.
Neo Smiles Bishan accepts a wide range of subsidy and assistance schemes, including CHAS, Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation, Public Assistance and Baby Bonus support, along with Medisave for treatment-eligible procedures and SG60/CDC Vouchers for applicable general dental services. Braces and Invisalign, being elective orthodontic treatment, sit outside Medisave coverage, but the surgical component of procedures like dental implants can qualify.
The clinic is open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 8pm, Saturdays from 9am to 5pm and Sundays from 9am to 2pm, and is closed on Fridays and public holidays - a schedule worth checking before planning a visit around the working week.
