Frequently asked questions

It may be possible to complete multiple treatments in a single visit if they are not complex. However, for more complex treatments that require a longer duration, the dentist may advise you to return for a second visit.

If you are below 21 years old, a parent or legal guardian must accompany you during the consultation and first visit so the dentist can inform them of the suggested treatments or procedures.

The quickest and most convenient way to book your appointment is on our booking page www.advanceddental.co/book-online. At this page, you have the option of booking with your preferred clinic, your preferred dentist, or even to find a same or next day appointment at any available clinic (this option is recommended if you are in pain and have no preference for dentist)

If you walk in without an appointment, we can offer you a slot on the same day if one is available. If you are in pain and no slots are available, we will try to squeeze you in to treat your symptoms. We may offer a follow-up appointment to address the root cause of the pain. If no slots are available and you are seeking routine treatment, we will offer you an appointment on another day. It is best to make an appointment to minimize your waiting time.

Yes, please inform us of all the medications you are taking. Before your appointment, list down all the drugs you take, including the dosage and how often you take them. Over-the-counter products, herbal products, and supplements should go on the list, too. This would help us better understand your medical history and help us customise a treatment plan for you.

Pregnant women can safely receive basic dental treatments like scaling, polishing, and fillings.

Do let us know of any drug allergies and medication that you are taking prior to treatment. It may be useful to send us a copy of relevant medical reports and diagnostic imaging (x-rays) pertaining to your health and dental condition. This is to prevent potential complications that may affect the treatment and your itinerary.

Our consultation charges are: By general dentist: Short (<10 min) - $20 to $40* and Long (> 10 min) - $50 to $80. By specialist: Short (<10 min) - $50 to $80 and Long (> 10 min) - $90 to $180. A short consultation with a general dentist will be waived if your last treatment was less than 12 months ago and a new treatment was performed at this visit. CHAS subsidies are available for a full oral examination. Limits are up to 2 consultations per calendar year, with a 6-month interval.
