About Us

Tanglin Dental has cared for families in Singapore for over 30 years. Our clinical team brings together experience, technology, and a shared commitment to gentle, patient-centred care.

We believe good dentistry begins with respect - for our patients, our colleagues, and the communities we serve.

Guided by a culture of learning and clinical excellence, we strive to make every visit comfortable and to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Our Story

Tanglin Dental was founded in 1994 by specialist orthodontist Dr Kenneth Lew at the now-demolished Tanglin Shopping Centre. From the very beginning, our goal was simple - to provide honest, high-quality dental care in a comfortable environment.

Over the years, many of our patients became friends, and some even joined our team. A few have come full circle - once sitting in our dental chairs as nervous children, later returning as eager interns, and now serving as dentists within our group.

Today, we operate multiple clinics across Singapore, supported by a core team of doctors and nurses who have worked together for many years. Through it all, our values have remained constant:

  • respect for every individual

  • a commitment to learning, and

  • a belief that good dentistry will make the community better off.

Continuous learning, a central part of our culture
