Sunshine Dental is a family dental practice that began in 2002 in a two-chair clinic inside a Woodlands void deck, and it now runs its flagship at Woodlands Civic Centre. The founder, Dr JonPaul Seah, set up the practice because he liked the mix of people in northern Singapore, and the clinic has stayed close to the town's residents. A second clinic at City Gate on Beach Road opened in 2019. The Woodlands clinic is opposite Woodlands MRT station and the bus interchange, which makes it easy to reach on foot or by bus.
The services listed on the website include cosmetic, surgical and general dentistry, with wisdom tooth extraction, scaling and polishing, fillings, root canal and other treatments. Patients who write about it say the dentists explain each step clearly, and this helps nervous adults, such as one who was anxious about a root canal. Parents say the dentists let children handle the tools before a cleaning, so the first visit is less frightening. Staff are praised for their care, and some patients mention small kind gestures.
Booking is by an online form that asks for a preferred day, branch and dentist. Within a kilometre there are nine other dentists. Raffles Dental at Causeway Point and Advanced Dental Woodlands Central are both about 0.2 km away. Our pick in Woodlands for a family check-up close to the MRT.
