Considering a Second Opinion?

When it comes to major dental decisions—especially dental implants and full mouth rehabilitation—getting a second opinion can make all the difference. You may feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply want to explore whether there are better, safer, or more advanced options available.

Why Patients Come to Me for a Second Opinion

Patients frequently seek my opinion when:

They have been told they do not have enough bone for implants
They have been advised to remove teeth they are hoping to save
They have experienced implant failure or complications from prior surgery
They have complex medical conditions that need tailored dental planning
They want to explore metal-free, biological or ceramic implant options
They feel unsure or pressured and want to make an informed, confident decision

What Sets My Consultations Apart

"A Unique Blend of Expertise You Can Trust"

I bring together a rare and comprehensive set of qualifications, experiences, and leadership roles that set me apart in the field of dental implantology:

Dual Training in Medicine and Dentistry

With formal training in both medical and dental disciplines, I approach each patient holistically—especially those with complex health histories or surgical needs. I am experienced in treating patients who are on multiple medications or who are especially nervous and need to be treated under IV sedation or General Anaesthesia.

Diplomate & Ambassador Circle – ICOI

As a Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and a member of its Ambassador Circle—an honour reserved for a select few globally—I am recognised for my leadership and lifelong commitment to advancing implant dentistry.

Former Director, MALO Dental Singapore & Current ZAGA Centre Director

I formerly served as Director of MALO Clinic Singapore was was trained personally by Dr Paulo MAL, bringing the All-on-4 concept to Singapore. I now lead ZAGA Centre Singapore, and perform zygomatic, pterygoid and trans-sinus implants for patients with severe bone loss. I am the first person in Singapore who has done quad zygoma implants which is currently the most complex type of dental implant surgery there is.

High Surgical Volume & Advanced Implantology

I have performed one of the highest volumes of All-on-4, Zygomatic, and Ceramic (Zeramex) implant surgeries in Asia, including in highly atrophic cases many consider untreatable.

Educator and Trainer to Hundreds of Dentists

I train clinicians across Southeast Asia and Singapore in both basic and advanced implantology, with a particular focus on the All-on-4 protocol. My courses have supported hundreds of doctors in delivering more predictable and patient-centric care.

International Podium Speaker & Lecturer

I am a frequent speaker at international implant conferences and serve as an invited lecturer for leading implant manufacturers and academic platforms, where I share insights on complex surgical techniques, digital workflows, and biologically compatible treatment planning.

Biocompatible & Holistic Approach

As a member of IAOMT and IABDM, I integrate ozone therapy, PRF, and ceramic implantology into my care protocols—ensuring a safer, minimally invasive, and long-term approach to oral health.

Every patient deserves more than just a treatment plan—they deserve understanding, options, and confidence. My second opinion consultations are thorough, transparent, and focused on helping you make the most informed decision possible.
