The Journey to your Perfect Smile begins here

At Tripod Dental Clinic, we care.

We strive to provide our patients with the highest quality personalized dental services in our cozy boutique clinics.

Tripod Dental Clinic was started by 3 good friends who want to provide our patients with good quality, ethical and affordable dental care.

Our 3 core values are: Empathy, Integrity and Sincerity. A tripod is known to be stable, just like our core values. We are committed to provide our patients with high quality dental care in the same warm and caring manner we would extend to members of our own family. In time to come, we hope our patients will become part of the friendly family-like Tripod Dental community.

Our Facilities

We understand that a visit to the dentist is definitely not a highlight on most people’s schedule.

While no dentist can completely remove all the discomfort associated with dental treatment, we are committed to making each dental visit as pleasant as possible.

The Latin phrase, “omne trium perfectum” (everything that comes in threes is perfect, or, every set of three is complete) resonated with us and we set out with these 3 broad criteria in mind when we first started Tripod Dental Clinic to make your visit to our clinic more comfortable.

Technology:

We believe in investing in modern and high quality equipment to help our dentists achieve the correct diagnosis and successful treatment outcomes for our patients. Also, our dental and imaging records are electronic and accessible from both our clinics, so there is continuity of care for you.

Hygiene and Infection Control: 

This is an area where we do not compromise and all our instruments and equipment are disinfected and sterilized to the strictest of standards. Also, disposables are used whenever possible. Your safety is of utmost importance to us.

Comfort and Convenience: 

We are proud of our cozy and homely clinic. It certainly was fun for us when we planned the design and decoration of our clinics and we look forward to sharing our humble abode with you.

Also, our two clinics are conveniently located. Our first branch at Kallang is located a stone’s throw away from Kallang MRT; the Circuit Road branch is located next to the popular Blk 79 Circuit Road Hawker Centre that spoils our tummies for choices with an array of delicious and sinful food.

Last but not least, we believe sometimes that laughter is the best medicine. We hope that with all these, you may even start looking forward to your next dental appointment!
