About the clinic
Orthognathic surgery at Nuffield Dental in Singapore corrects jaw misalignment to improve biting, eating, and speaking.

The clinic group holds the Company of Good 3 Hearts Recognition and uses AI-powered screening tools for oral health assessments.
Corrective Jaw Surgery Methods
This surgery aligns the upper jaw (maxilla) and the lower jaw (mandible). An oral and maxillofacial surgeon performs the procedure to fix functional issues that braces alone cannot solve. Patients often undergo this treatment if they have difficulty chewing or chronic jaw pain from a misaligned bite. The surgeon works closely with an orthodontist to coordinate the teeth and jaw positions.
Advanced Screening Technology
Nuffield Dental uses the scanO Air AI-powered kiosk for initial patient assessments. This system screens for 40 different oral conditions in about 12 seconds. It helps the medical team identify issues quickly before planning complex surgeries. The clinic group has 10 locations across Singapore, making it easier for patients to attend follow-up visits after their procedure.
Insurance and Financial Options
Patients have several ways to manage the costs of corrective jaw surgery in Singapore. Medisave subsidies are available, along with Integrated Shield Plans and private insurance coverage. The clinic also accepts CHAS subsidies for various dental needs. These financial options help reduce the out-of-pocket expenses for major oral surgery.
Multi-Disciplinary Care
The clinic belongs to Nuffield Holdings, a large network providing specialized dental care. Their team includes oral surgeons, orthodontists, and general dentists working together. This structure allows patients to receive all their pre-surgical and post-surgical care within the same network. Having these specialists in one group helps maintain a smooth recovery process.

Key Achievements and Medical Team
The clinic treats a large international patient base from the UK, Europe, and Canada. It also serves patients from Australia, China, and the Middle East. The medical team includes 40 doctors and 25 employees. Many specialists trained in the UK, Australia, and the US.
Nuffield Dental is recognized as a high-growth company in the Asia Pacific. The clinic holds the Company of Good 3 Hearts Recognition for its social contributions. Several surgical procedures are Medisave Accredited, so eligible patients can use specific local insurance funds.
Dental Implantology and Oral Surgery
The clinic specializes in full-arch restoration using the All-on-4 technique, often called Teeth in a Day. This method uses four to six implants to support a permanent bridge. The surgical team performs several advanced implant procedures:
- Zygomatic implants – these anchor into the cheekbone for patients with severe bone loss.
- Pterygoid implants – these provide alternative anchorage without bone grafting.
- Immediate implants – this allows same-day tooth replacement after extraction.
- Multi-teeth and single-tooth dental implants.
For zygomatic implants, the clinic reports a success rate of over 96% in selected cases. The oral surgery department also handles complex cases like jaw surgery and cyst removal. Surgeons use electric motor-driven handpieces for greater precision during wisdom tooth extractions.
Orthodontics and Specialized Care
Nuffield Dental offers multiple options for teeth straightening and pediatric oral health. Clear aligner treatments like Invisalign use computerized simulations to show future tooth movement. The clinic also provides Damon braces and Myobrace for younger patients to improve jaw development.
The periodontics department treats gum disease using both conservative and surgical methods. Specialists use Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) to rebuild tissue lost to periodontitis. This therapy stimulates bone growth around existing teeth, helping prevent tooth loss.
Pediatric services cover routine check-ups and specialized treatments like tongue-tie surgery. The clinic provides a kid-friendly environment to manage dental anxiety from a young age. Families can coordinate preventive care for multiple members during the same visit.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
The network uses a proprietary AI-powered screening tool called scanO Air. This contactless kiosk captures mouth images and screens for 40 oral conditions in 12 seconds. Over 1.6 million people worldwide have used this technology to identify dental concerns.
Diagnostic accuracy relies on a suite of digital imaging systems:
- Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) for 3D jaw modeling.
- Intraoral scanning to create digital molds without physical impressions.
- Panoramic OPG X-rays for a complete view of both jaws.
- Digital X-rays for targeted assessments.
These tools let doctors create accurate treatment plans before any procedure begins.
International Patient Services
A dedicated liaison team coordinates care for travelers before they arrive in Singapore. They manage appointment schedules for consultations, diagnostics, and surgeries. The team also handles advance billing arrangements to give international visitors financial clarity.
Patients can access 15-minute virtual consultations to discuss their needs from home. Once on-site, the clinic follows strict infection control protocols using pre-vacuum autoclaves. These safety measures help reduce the risk of post-surgical complications.
