I needed some emergency work done and he was the only open late on a Saturday. I am happy with his work but it was very expensive maybe 2-3 times higher than elsewhere. Just for reference, he charged $195 just for the “consulting fee” which is just the for the appointment booking fee before any work is carried out.

I had been seeing Dr. Rex Tan for many years on and off but still return because of his caring with sincerity, great skills and professionalism. He would ensure explaining your dental issues comprehensively so you know the treatment well. Every few years he would update his practice with new tools to offer optimum treatment. Like today he deployed a tiny optical gadget to put on screen in order to let me view my “aging” wearing off teeth so I could appreciate the fillings needed. Wonderful! 👍 👍 👍 Ichiban!

Dr Tan is my forever dentist!
If you’re considering veneers in Singapore, this is the only place I’d recommend.
I now have a set of beautifully white, natural-looking teeth that I can’t stop admiring. The entire process was smooth and completely pain-free — Dr Tan was meticulous, patient, and constantly checked in to ensure I was comfortable. His dedication to perfecting both the shape and shade of my veneers truly shows in the results.
Thank you, Dr Tan, for giving me the confidence to smile endlessly! 🦷✨

A rare master of modern dentistry.
Having lived and worked across global cities, I’ve encountered my share of highly regarded professionals — yet Dr Tan stands apart as a true master of his craft. His composure, precision, and depth of expertise are exceptional, reflecting the rare balance of science, artistry, and instinct that defines genuine excellence.
From the moment you step into Smile Inc, you know you’re in the hands of someone exceptional. Dr Tan’s confidence is quiet but unmistakable — the kind that comes only from deep expertise and years of disciplined practice. Every procedure is explained with clarity, carried out with surgical precision, and delivered with a calm assurance that makes even complex treatments feel effortless. The result: work that is technically perfect and aesthetically impeccable.
What truly distinguishes him is his ability to unite science, design, and artistry with flawless execution — every decision deliberate, every outcome harmoniously natural. It’s an experience defined not only by mastery, but by genuine care.
His team reflects the same high standard — professional, intuitive, and discreet. Together, they create an experience that is as seamless as it is sophisticated — more private atelier than clinic.
In a field where true mastery is rare, Dr Tan is the benchmark. He represents the best of what modern dentistry can be: refined, exacting, and world-class in every sense. An encounter with him redefines what a smile can truly be — confident, timeless, and effortlessly elevated.

Caring, knowledgeable and reassuring dentistry at its best.
Dr Tan has three extraordinary qualities that distinguish he and his practice from any other, not just dental practice, but medical practice, that i have engaged.
Perhaps most noticeably, he is customer-centric and caring. He actually cares about his patients and it comes through in his manner, his treatment and his entire practice. For patients and customers this is both reassuring and calming.
Second, he and his colleagues are technically excellent. You know going in that you will be receiving the highest calibre treatment from professionals who stay up to date with the latest treatments and technologies.
And, he is reliably consistent. And consistent in his excellence. It doesn't matter what else may be going on, Dr Tan devotes his entire attention and focus to ensuring the best possible outcome.
In the midst of a recent extended treatment when i was between sessions and admittedly a little nervous (although i thought i had hidden that well enough), Dr Tan was travelling overseas but nevertheless while on leave took the time to reach out and check on me before boarding his flight, and again a week later while in the middle of his vacation.
I cannot recommend Dr Tan or his practice Smile Inc highly enough.
Following My Passion
Dr Ernest Tan is the best dentist I’ve come across in Singapore. He’s incredibly skilled and genuinely cares about his patients. Every visit is smooth and pleasant, he listens, explains things clearly, and makes you feel at ease. I’ve been to a few other clinics before, and the difference in both skill and patience is obvious. Really grateful to have found him. Highly recommend!
