What recent reviews say

Patients consistently report pain-free procedures and skilled dentist care, with Dr. How and his team earning specific praise for gentleness during extractions, oral surgery, and complex treatments. Clear aligner outcomes and crown/veneer work receive strong endorsement, backed by named staff (Ruby, Marilyn, Dr. Lim, Dr. Den, Dr. Alice) who earn trust through patient education and visible attention to detail.

A few reviewers note they were asked to write reviews in-clinic and mention treatment scope wasn't fully explored upfront, or that post-treatment upselling occurred. The 4.8 rating across 1,400 reviews reflects overwhelmingly positive experience, though individual expectations around communication and cost transparency occasionally diverge.

Dr. Yogesh earns strong praise for gentle, thorough implant and crown work with clear explanation and attentive bedside manner. Multiple patients felt comfortable and informed through complex treatments. However, composite veneer work drew sharp criticism: one patient reported uneven results, easy chipping, color mismatch on repair, and excessive healthy tooth removal that another clinic deemed unnecessary. Wait times and clinic organization also drew complaint. The implied gap between implant/crown excellence and veneer execution is notable. Warranty coverage on implants provides reassurance. Patients value his detail orientation and willingness to educate, and several mentioned better pricing than competitors, though one negative review cited unprofessional management without detail.

Blanc Dental earns consistent five-star praise for combining technical skill with genuine care. Patients with dental anxiety report feeling at ease; those familiar with dentistry (including a fellow dentist) found the work thorough. Dr. Ang, Dr. Mike, and Dr. Siew handle cleanings, root canals, extractions, and restorations with calm assurance. The AIRFLOW Spa system draws frequent mention for comfort during scaling. Ms. Kalsom's reception work, clear communication during treatment, and the relaxing clinic design round out the experience. One patient flagged unclear pricing before x-rays, a fair note in an otherwise spotless record.
