The last thing you need is a clinic that's difficult to reach, has a weeks-long waiting list, or makes booking an appointment feel like solving a puzzle.

At Shuang Dentistry, we've built our practice around one simple principle: accessible, high-quality dental care for busy Singaporeans in North Singapore. We're located in the heart of Yishun, just minutes from Yishun MRT, and we've designed our booking process to be as straightforward as possible—including same-day appointments when you need them.

Why Location Matters for Your Dental Care

When you're choosing a dentist, location isn't just about convenience—it's about consistency. Dental health isn't a one-time fix. It requires regular check-ups, follow-up appointments, and sometimes urgent care when problems arise. If your dentist is difficult to reach, you're more likely to postpone appointments, skip preventive care, or delay treatment when issues develop.

For Yishun residents, having a trusted dental clinic within walking distance of Yishun MRT means you can easily fit dental appointments into your routine. Whether you're commuting home from work, running errands on the weekend, or need to bring your child in for a check-up, accessibility removes one of the biggest barriers to maintaining good oral health.

Where to Find Shuang Dentistry

Shuang Dentistry is located in the northern side of Singapore, right in the heart of Yishun. We're easily accessible by public transport, car, or on foot.

• By MRT or Bus: Take Bus 169 from Opp Yishun Station along the North South Line, ride 4 stops (~6 min), alight at Opp Blk 722 (opposite our clinic).

• By Car: The nearest carpark is the Block 717 - Block 724 carpark (INY11), with its entrance across the road from Yishun Secondary School. This is especially helpful for families bringing children or elderly parents for appointments.

Our location in Yishun means we serve a diverse community of working adults, families, and retirees who value both quality care and convenience.

What Services Are Available for Same-Day Appointments?

One of the most common frustrations patients share is being told they need to wait weeks for an appointment—even when they're in pain. At Shuang Dentistry, we prioritize accessibility. While we encourage patients to book preventive care in advance, we also reserve capacity for same-day appointments when urgent needs arise.

Same-day appointments are available for:

• Dental pain or discomfort. If you're experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling, we'll do our best to see you the same day. Dental pain is often a sign of an underlying problem that will only worsen if left untreated.

• Broken or chipped teeth. Accidents happen. If you've chipped a tooth or lost a filling, we can often repair it on the spot or provide a temporary solution until a permanent restoration can be completed.

• Lost crowns or fillings. A lost crown or filling leaves your tooth vulnerable to further damage and can be painful. We'll see you quickly to protect the tooth and restore function.

• Dental emergencies. Knocked-out teeth, severe infections, uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma require immediate attention. We're available 24/7 for true emergencies.

• Urgent consultations. If you've been putting off a dental issue and it's suddenly become unbearable, we'll fit you in as soon as possible to assess the situation and discuss treatment options.

• Preventive care for busy schedules. Even for routine scaling and polishing or check-ups, we offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your availability—including same-day bookings when slots are available.

How to Book Your Appointment at Shuang Dentistry

We've made booking as simple as possible because we know your time is valuable. Here are three easy ways to schedule your appointment:

• WhatsApp Booking: This is the fastest and most popular option. Simply WhatsApp us at +65 6203 0010 with your name, preferred date and time, and the reason for your visit. We'll confirm your appointment and send you any necessary pre-visit information. WhatsApp booking is especially convenient if you're at work or on the go.

• Phone Booking: Call us directly at +65 6203 0010 during business hours. Our friendly staff will help you find a convenient appointment time and answer any questions you have about services, costs, or what to bring.

What to Bring to Your First Visit

If this is your first visit to Shuang Dentistry, here's what you should bring to make the process smooth and efficient:

• Your NRIC or identification. We'll need this for registration and to verify your identity for any subsidy claims.

• Your CHAS card (if applicable). If you're a CHAS Blue, Orange, or Green cardholder, bring your card so we can help you access subsidies for eligible treatments. CHAS can significantly reduce the cost of preventive and basic dental care.

• Your MediSave information (if planning to use it). For certain procedures like wisdom tooth surgery, root canals, or dental implants, you may be able to use MediSave. Having your details ready will speed up the claims process.

• Your dental insurance information (if applicable). If you have private dental insurance through your employer or a personal plan, bring your policy details so we can assist with claims.

• A list of any medications you're taking. This helps us understand your overall health and avoid any potential complications or drug interactions during treatment.

• Your dental history (if available). If you have recent X-rays or records from a previous dentist, bring them along. This can save time and help us understand your dental history.

What Makes Shuang Dentistry Different?

With so many clinic options in Yishun and North of Singapore, why choose Shuang Dentistry? Here's what sets us apart:

• We're led by Dr. James Yap, a dentist with specialized expertise. Dr. Yap holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Otago, New Zealand, and has special interests in bruxism (teeth grinding), orofacial pain, and dental sleep medicine. This means we can handle not just routine care, but also complex cases that other clinics might refer out.

• We use modern digital dentistry tools. Our clinic is equipped with CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) for 3D imaging, digital treatment planning, and guided procedures that improve accuracy and patient comfort. This technology allows us to diagnose problems more precisely and plan treatments with greater predictability.

• We offer comprehensive care under one roof. From preventive care and children's dentistry to complex restorative work like implants, root canals, and sleep dentistry, we provide a full range of services. This means fewer referrals and more continuity in your care.

• We prioritize transparency. We believe you should understand what's happening in your mouth and why treatment is recommended. We'll explain your options clearly, provide transparent pricing, and help you understand what can be claimed through CHAS or MediSave.

• We've created a calm, welcoming environment. Our treatment rooms feature tranquil garden views, and our staff are trained to make every patient feel comfortable - whether you're bringing a nervous child for their first visit or you're an adult who's anxious about dental work.
