History of New Age Cosmetic Dentists


The Past
Many people who are not familiar with us will ask us why we are called Hougang Dental Centre when we are located in the heart of Orchard Road. Well, that's because our clinic has its humble beginnings in the Hougang heartlands. Dr Chan Joon Yee took over a dental practice at Blk 631, Hougang Avenue 8 in January 1991 and has been providing Hougang heartlanders with basic, general dental services ever since.

However, the 2003 SARS epidemic forced the practice to change its focus and direction. A few rare cases of challenging cosmetic makeovers gave the practice an opportunity to realise its full potential. The practice thus moved in the direction of cosmetic dentistry and to our pleasant surprise, we received many well-informed, discerning patients from Jurong, Choa Chu Kang and even overseas. These patients made our practice of dentistry more challenging and rewarding.

With the change in patient profile and the lack of space for new equipment in Hougang, we decided to expand to Orchard Road to make it more convenient for our patients who are not residing in Hougang.
