Meet Dr Gerald Tan, a dental surgeon and founder of Elite Dental Group, Singapore.

His ambition for wanting to change the negative preconceptions about dentistry has lead him to hone his skills and passion towards what many people perceive to be the scariest and most intimidating dental procedure: Dental Implant surgery.

He feels that if he can do the procedure painlessly, quickly and efficiently, he would really be in a privileged position to make a huge impact in his patient’s lives.

By completely restoring a bite that has been lost, or a smile that has been damaged by trauma or neglect; a immense difference can be made to his patient’s sense of self esteem and ability to chew with confidence.

He achieves this by marrying digital smile design, computer guided surgery and cad-cam technology with old school values of care, empathy and honesty.

Watch the video to find out why he decided to start his own dental group and how he wants to make a difference in the community he serves.
