What recent reviews say

Patients consistently report successful outcomes from complex root canal retreatments and challenging cases that other dentists declined. Dr Tan and his team, including Dr Yap and Dr Teh, explain every step clearly before and during treatment, display pricing breakdowns upfront, and patients experience little to no pain. Follow-up X-rays document significant bone recovery (often 80-100% within a year after severe loss), extraction is typically avoided, and staff manage comfort throughout with attentiveness and professionalism.

The clinic excels at saving teeth others marked for extraction, especially when earlier treatment had failed or left broken files inside. Patients praise the detailed examination, use of imaging to explain what's happening, and the specialists' willingness to tackle fine, curved, or calcified canals. Pricing transparency stands out as a consistent strength across reviews.

FAQs

Can you save a tooth other dentists said needs extraction?
Yes. Multiple reviews report Dr Tan successfully retreated teeth marked for extraction, including cases with severe bone loss and failed prior treatments. Bone recovery is tracked over 6-12 months via follow-up X-rays.
Will root canal treatment be painful?
Reviewers consistently report painless or nearly painless procedures. Dr Yap and Dr Teh are specifically praised for skill with injections and patient comfort throughout.
Why should I see a specialist endodontist instead of my general dentist?
This clinic handles complex cases general dentists decline-fine, curved, or calcified canals; broken files left behind; and retreatments of previously failed treatment. Specialists use imaging at each step to guide treatment and explain progress.

Patients consistently report feeling at ease under Dr. Chris, Dr. Esther, and the team, who explain procedures clearly and deliver painless care. The clinic itself is clean and relaxing. One complaint over several years involved a RM21K denture that arrived hard rather than flexible as promised, with unclear recourse for the patient.
