How we can help you

Dental Services We Provide​

Nourish Dental Sleep & TMJ Care is an established dental clinic in Singapore focused on the diagnosis and treatment of TMD/TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, and painful head, neck, jaw, and oral conditions, alongside dental sleep medicine for snoring and sleep apnoea. If you’re dealing with any of these, our team provides clear diagnosis and step-by-step treatment plans designed to help you feel comfortable and function normally again.

*Disclaimer: The terms board-certified ‘Orofacial Pain Specialist’, ‘specialist’, ‘specialisation’, ‘board certification’ and any of its variations are made within the context of the USA and not Singapore.
 
Dental sleep medicine is not an established dental specialty in Singapore, and the designation of ‘qualified sleep dentist’ is only used in the following two contexts: 1. The European Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (EADSM) – an organisation founded and governed by university and hospital-based practitioners which sets the standards of competency in the practice of Dental Sleep Medicine across Europe; 2. American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) – An independent organisation of practitioners who treat sleep-related breathing disorders with oral appliance therapy. The AADSM credential is widely recognised as the gold standard for excellence in dental sleep medicine.

Testimonials and reviews

What Our Clients Say

“Dr Eric , the tmj specialist, is very thorough in his examination, diagnosis and treatment plan.His sincerity and genuine concern for his patients is very evident. He exhibits so much professionalism too. If you have a tmj pain,go to his clinic. I have been to 2 other dentists before for the tmj issue and one was very skimpy and brushed aside many things.”
Rathnam Annamalai
“Nourish Dental Care & Implant provides a nice and comfortable atmosphere, especially the waterfall feature at the reception area definitely helps to soothes the nerves and anxiety.

Dr Chionh is a very gentle and caring dentist. He made sure that I understood exactly what is going on with my teeth and gums, and provided clear communication throughout the procedure. He took time to answer every question / concern and is genuine in his recommendations.

He is also skillful and passionate, and I appreciate his occasional jokes to liven up the mood.

The dental assistant is friendly and efficient. She makes me feel welcome and is always helpful when I need to make changes to my appointments.

The services provided are reasonably priced. I’d highly recommend Dr Chionh and his clinic.”

I am impressed by Dr Eric's skillful execution of each step which was carefully deliberated and calibrated. I have confidence in Dr Eric's ability. He takes every effort to solve problems.”
