5 Best Dental Clinics in Toa Payoh That’ll Make You Actually Look Forward to The Dentist

Pricing: We evaluated how upfront the clinics are about their pricing. Clear fee schedules, Medisave claimability, and package options were considered helpful for patients planning ahead.

Qualifications & Licensing: We prioritised clinics with Singapore Dental Council (SDC)-registered dentists who hold recognised qualifications and undergo regular professional development.

Clinics with specialists in orthodontics, oral surgery, or paediatric dentistry were rated higher.

Range of Services: We looked for comprehensive service offerings—from routine cleanings and fillings to braces, implants, and emergency dental care. Clinics catering to both adults and children scored extra points.

Patient Experience: We considered factors like appointment scheduling, waiting time, and staff friendliness. Clinics known for gentle care, clear explanations, and a calm atmosphere ranked more favourably.

When I was living in Toa Payoh, I had way too much free time—and I’d spend most of it just roaming around the neighbourhood. 

I knew every corner, every shortcut, and pretty much every shop along the way. So when my mom decided it was finally time for me to get braces, she told me to make myself useful and look for a good dental clinic nearby.

With nothing better to do, I took the task seriously. I walked around checking clinics, comparing prices, and asking all the questions I could think of (probably more than necessary). 

After a few rounds of inquiries, my mom and I finally settled on the one that felt right for us.

If you don’t feel like spending your weekends going door to door like I did, here are my top picks for the best dental clinics in the area.

Family Dental Centre DentalWorkz is part of the Oracare Group network, which runs several clinics across Singapore. 

Their team includes more than 30 dental surgeons who regularly undergo professional development, so it’s safe to say they take their work seriously. 

The clinic focuses on both general and specialised dentistry, offering routine check-ups and children’s dental care to braces, clear aligners, crowns, and root canals.

I find it nice how modern and efficient the clinic feels. They use digital technology to improve accuracy and comfort, and the dentists are known for being gentle and attentive. 

Patients often mention how the staff are friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience quick and pain-free. 

What’s even better is that their prices are quite reasonable compared to other clinics. The only small downside is that walk-ins for simple procedures like cleaning might involve some waiting.

Pros

  • Team of 30+ dental surgeons 
  • Ongoing professional development
  • Offers both general and specialised dentistry 
  • Modern digital technology for precision
  • Gentle, attentive dentists 
  • Friendly staff
  • Efficient, pain-free experience
  • Reasonable pricing 

Cons

  • Walk-ins may involve some waiting time

The whole experience turned out to be completely painless and fear-free.

Getting two Diff implants sounded scary at first, but thanks to Dr. Han and his amazing team at FDC Dental Clinic, the whole experience turned out to be completely painless and fear-free. They were so gentle and caring that I felt safe and relaxed the entire time. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended for anyone who wants dental care they can truly trust!

They have been gentle and meticulous. 

Brought my mum in law for tooth extraction. Dr Quek & his assistant Noor had been very caring and patience in explaining the procedures and also comfort my mum in law. In addition,  I had Dr Sheryl & her assistant Kah Tong for treating my sensitive gem. They have been gentle and meticulous. Their service have calm us and reduce our pain during scaling and polishing.  Excellent service & support from FDC Demtalworkz. The fee is deemed reasonable. Thank you.

Advanced Dental Toa Payoh has grown into one of Singapore’s largest dentist-owned groups. With over 235,000 patients served, they’ve built a good reputation for reliable and professional dental care. 

The clinic offers a full range of services—everything from scale and polish, fillings, and extractions to more complex treatments like braces, Invisalign, crowns, root canals, dentures, and implants.

What I really like about them is their commitment to transparency. They make sure patients fully understand every procedure and cost before moving forward, which makes the whole experience feel trustworthy. 

Their dentists are also highly qualified, with many specialising in fields like oral and maxillofacial surgery, and several holding master’s degrees in dental care.

Clients appreciate how gentle and patient the dentists are—Dr. Chung, for instance, is praised for being calm and empathetic. 

The clinic does get fully booked often, though, so it’s best to schedule an appointment ahead of time.

Pros

  • Full range of dental services
  • Transparent pricing 
  • Clear procedure explanations
  • Highly qualified dentists
  • Gentle and patient care
  • Reliable reputation for professionalism

Cons

  • Frequently fully booked

So gentle and friendly also explained the procedures very clearly.

Its my 2nd time for dental appointment here and i would say EXCELLENCE in SERVICE to this clinic. The dentist named Lin was so gentle and friendly also explained how the procedures very clearly. Her malay assistant and the lady at the reception-named Chia were  so nice and friendly. This dental clinic is highly recommended.!

Clear aftercare instructions and attentive follow-up. 

I have been seeing Dr Gisella Ng for several years and my experience with her is always excellent. Dr Gisella is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which I really appreciated.  Whether it was a routine cleaning, filling, or more complex procedure, I always felt that I was in capable hands. What really stood out to me was the genuine care and attention to detail — she would tailor her treatment plans to my dental needs and daily living habits, prioritising my comfort and long-term dental health. I also had a wisdom tooth extraction done by Dr Gisella, and the procedure itself was quick and completely painless. Even though my X-ray showed that my wisdom tooth extraction might be potentially challenging,  Dr Gisella took time to patiently explain the process and options available and answered all my questions, making a potentially stressful experience stress-free. Even the recovery was easier than I expected, thanks to the clear aftercare instructions and attentive follow-up. I highly recommend Dr. Gisella to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist!

Greenlife Dental Clinic continues to be a trusted name among locals, popular for their consistent and patient-focused care.

The clinic offers a wide range of treatments, with specialisations in Invisalign and braces, wisdom tooth extractions, and dental implants. Their services are backed by state-of-the-art equipment. 

Even with such modern facilities and advanced technology, I couldn’t believe how they manage to keep their services affordable. For the level of care you get, the fees are actually pretty reasonable.

Their dentists even come with solid credentials, like Dr. Low Hwee Kee, who graduated from NUS and previously worked at national centres. Together, they’ve built a clinic that incorporates professionalism with a friendly touch.

I hear a lot about how gentle and patient they are, making it easy to relax here, even if you’re usually nervous about dental visits.

But just a tip: if you’re booking through WhatsApp, it’s better to confirm by call or in person, as a few clients mentioned minor miscommunications online.

Pros

  • Wide range of dental services
  • Modern, state-of-the-art equipment
  • Clean, comfortable, and professional environment
  • Affordable rates
  • Skilled team with experienced dentists
  • Gentle, patient approach

Cons

  • Minor online booking miscommunications

Steady and delicate hands, and good communication skills.

My first session with Dr Lim was a pleasant one. I shared with him a minor problem that I’ve been having and he gave cleaning tips that were helpful (one of which I never knew of until now at 40+ yrs old). He also has steady and delicate hands, and good communication skills. I do recommend his services.

Friendly and helpful receptionists.

Great experience here! There was literally no waiting time, very efficient process. Friendly and helpful receptionists. Dr Lim was very knowledgable, reassuring through the dental procedures and provided quality and professional service! Strongly recommend this clinic! 🙂

Hosanna! Dental Surgery has a strong image in the community for providing gentle, thorough, and compassionate dental care. 

They’ve got preventive and paediatric dentistry, cosmetic treatments, wisdom tooth removal, and implants. It’s a full-service clinic that caters to families and individuals looking for both comfort and quality. 

I find it cool that they use modern tools like intraoral cameras and digital 3D X-rays, which make diagnosis and treatment more precise while keeping patients informed every step of the way. 

Patients we talked to often highlight how reassuring and patient the team is. One shared how Dr. Ben took extra time to explain every procedure clearly and how the nurse’s gentle tapping during anaesthesia helped ease their nerves.

My only qualm with this place is that the pricing is high.

Pros

  • Offers preventative, pediatric, cosmetic, and implant dentistry
  • Uses advanced tools 
  • Gentle, reassuring, and patient dental team
  • Thorough explanations 
  • Strong reputation for compassionate family care

Cons

  • Costly 

Spent extra time to explain to me what different procedures I needed to do.

Highly recommend this place. Honestly deserves a 5 Star rating on Google. I went in for my wisdom tooth extraction and was super duper scared. Like really really scared and anxious but Dr Ben spent extra time to explain to me what different procedures I needed to do and why I needed to do them. My wisdom teeth removal was really tricky but Dr Ben managed to remove it quickly, efficiently and most importantly it was painless. Even the injections for anaesthesia around the gum and palate was completely painless. Huge shout out to the nurse too, her slow tapping during anaesthesia truly helps calm you down before the procedure.  Grateful for the excellent and professional service 🫶🏻

The whole process was very fast.

Since beginning I was really afraid of dental implant, but my dentist patiently explained the process to me and given me courage to try.  On the day of implant, my dentist patiently explain the procedure and step by step what he is going to do.  That indeed makes me relax alot.  The whole process was very fast, my appointment was at 9.30am and before 10am, I’m out of the dental clinic feeling good, there was no pain during the process.  I just need to fix my next appointment 2.5 mths later to get the crown fix in.  Thank you Dr. Lim!

Serving the community for over 40 years, Eli Dental Surgery has earned the loyalty of generations of families, with many patients continuing to return and bringing their loved ones along.

The clinic has built its name on integrity and compassion, with a clear commitment to transparent fees and patient-first care. Their mission has always been to enhance the health and well-being of the community, one smile at a time.

They offer a full suite of dental services, including general and paediatric dentistry, cosmetic procedures, whitening, orthodontics, implants, dentures, crowns, and bridges. 

Patrons have told me that the dentists are patient and genuinely caring. Someone even shared how their dentist kept the atmosphere calm throughout a tooth extraction.

I’m honestly surprised how they still kept their prices very reasonable, given how popular they are. 

But since everyone goes here, booking an appointment might take a little patience.

Pros

  • Over 40 years of trusted community service
  • Transparent fees 
  • Patient-first care
  • Full range of dental services
  • Compassionate and patient dentists
  • Reasonable pricing

Cons

  • Limited availability

The extraction was gentle and quick.

I was really scared about getting my tooth pulled, but Dr. Louisa was amazing! She explained everything so patiently and made me feel calm. The extraction was gentle and quick, and she kept talking to comfort me the whole time. After it was done, she carefully went over what was wrong with the tooth, made sure I wasn’t bleeding anymore, and gave me all the tips for taking care of it afterward. I felt really looked after — thank you so much, Dr. Louisa!

Extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

Been going to this place for a while now and always very satisfied. Dr. Ng and Dr. Louisa are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.  Waiting room experience is also wonderful with the unique trinkets, decor and entertaining TV shows. Great dental office
