National Dental Centre, Singapore | Singapore , Singapore

Profile (Overview)

Complex dental diseases are treated by the multidisciplinary specialists of the National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS). Oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, and paediatric dentistry are all included in our list of services. In partnership with nearby tertiary educational institutions, NDCS provides training for dental specialists, radiographers, oral hygiene therapists, dental technicians, and dental surgical assistants. For both dentists and dental specialists, we also offer continuing dental education. In four areas—clinical tissue engineering, oral devices and treatments, oral health and general health, and oral health and aging—our research programme focuses on translational research to better the lives of patients. Our clinician-scientists and clinician-innovators have made a number of discoveries and created fresh approaches that advance knowledge of oral health and advance dental practise. Additionally, we actively engage in community outreach and collaborate with partners to carry out oral health screening activities in various Singaporean neighbourhoods. These seminars help screening participants become more aware of maintaining good oral health while also allowing for the identification and referral of dental issues that require treatment.
