We are honoured to share our Clinical Director, Dr Justin Giam, was mentioned in The Straits Times in January 2026, as part of a national feature exploring Singapore’s evolving interest in dental aesthetics and smile enhancement.
As one of Singapore’s most widely read newspapers, The Straits Times regularly highlights meaningful trends shaping healthcare, lifestyle, and well-being under their Life news section. The editorial examined how dental aesthetics have increasingly become part of everyday beauty routines, with more individuals paying closer attention to their smiles alongside overall self-care and confidence in the new year.
Within the article, Dr Justin shared professional insights into the rising demand for a bright smile, while also addressing common misconceptions surrounding cosmetic dentistry. He emphasised that teeth that are more white do not necessarily indicate healthier teeth, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment planning, and strong oral health as the true foundation of a confident smile.

Dr Justin also contributed professional commentary on the growing awareness of dental veneers and long-term aesthetic treatments, noting that modern dental porcelain veneers, when carefully planned and conservatively performed, can achieve natural results while preserving healthy tooth structure. His perspective reinforces the importance of seeking qualified dental professionals and evidence-based care, particularly in an era where social media trends and over-the-counter products increasingly shape public perception.
Being featured in The Straits Times reflects Dental Designs Clinic’s continued commitment to clinical professionalism, patient education, and responsible aesthetic dentistry. Through modern dental technology, customised treatment planning, and a patient-centred philosophy, our team remains dedicated to helping individuals achieve smiles that are not only beautiful, but also healthy and sustainable for the long term.
