Geriatric Dentistry in Singapore
Geriatric dentistry focuses on the oral health of older adults. It covers dry mouth, root decay, gum disease, worn teeth, and denture or implant care, with treatment planned around a person's medical conditions, medications and mobility. Consider it for an older family member who needs dental care adapted to age-related health needs.
Our Geriatric Dentistry team
Procedures this team performs
Aesthetic Dentistry
Treatments that change how teeth look — whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns and alignment — planned around your bite and overall oral health.
Bone Grafts
Rebuilds jawbone lost after extractions or gum disease, usually to create enough bone for a dental implant. The graft integrates with your own bone over several months.
Check up and cleaning
A routine visit covering an examination of teeth, gums and existing dental work, with scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar. Recommended every six months.
Children Dentistry
Dental care for infants, children and teens — first visits, check-ups, fluoride, fissure sealants and fillings — paced to each child's comfort.
Crowns and Bridges
A crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto the teeth beside the gap. Both typically take two visits.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth — full or partial — made of acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium. Fitting takes several appointments, with adjustments as you adapt.
Emergency Dentistry
Same-day dental care for urgent problems — toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or a lost filling or crown. Book an urgent slot by region, or call, and we will see you at the nearest available clinic.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.

Geriatric Dentistry
Dental care adapted for older adults: dry mouth, worn or heavily restored teeth, gum disease and dentures, with treatment planned around medical conditions and medications.
Implants
Replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post placed in the jawbone, restored with a crown once healed. From placement to final crown typically takes three to six months.
Oral Surgery
Surgical procedures of the mouth and jaw, including surgical extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts and biopsies, under local anaesthesia, sedation or general anaesthesia.
Replacing Missing Teeth
An overview of the options for replacing missing teeth — implants, bridges and dentures — covering what each involves, how long each lasts and typical costs.
Retainers
Custom appliances worn after braces or aligner treatment to hold teeth in their corrected positions — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals so the natural tooth can be kept. Usually one to three visits; a crown is often recommended afterwards.
Temporomandibular Disorders
Diagnosis and management of jaw-joint and muscle problems — pain, clicking, locking and bite-related headaches — using bite splints, physiotherapy, medication or botulinum injections.
Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Removal of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth in a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia or sedation, with stitches removed about one to two weeks later.
