Dental Insurance - AIA Dental Panel
Smile Design Dental Practice collaborates with AIA as part of the AIA Dental Panel, enabling us to deliver dental services to AIA clients.
We offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to your needs and preferences, with AIA dental coverage available as an AIA Dental Panel clinic.
At Smile Design Dental Practice, we treat patients the way we want our loved ones to be treated. We understand our patients’ anxiety, fear of uncertainty and pain. Every patient is unique. That means we take the time to listen to and understand our patients’ concerns, needs, and wants.
What to prepare for the first visit?
As a new patient to our clinic, we require verification of your AIA dental coverage card and NRIC for registration purposes.
We value your time. Your first appointment will last approximately 40-60 minutes. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time for registration, allowing the doctor to attend to you on time.
As an AIA Dental Panel clinic, we offer convenience to our AIA clients with direct billing. No cash payments are required for dental services covered under the plan.
Please remember to bring along the following documents:
- Identity Card / Birth Certificate / Passport / Work Permit / Driving License (Mandatory)
- Latest dental records (X-rays / photographs / CT scan) if available
- A list of medications you are currently taking
- Indication of any allergies
- CHAS / PG cards or Personal or Dental Insurance cards (if applicable)
What is the first visit like?
We believe that being detailed in every examination and explanation will help alleviate any potential doubts you may have. During your first visit, we will allocate ample time to listen to your concerns and address your expectations.
We examine tooth by tooth in detail. Photographs of your teeth and gums are taken with the intra-oral camera to help you understand your oral condition.
If necessary, we will take X-rays of your teeth to ensure that there are no hidden dental issues. After the examination, our doctor will share the clinical findings with you and discuss your treatment options, the time required, and the treatment fees involved, taking into consideration your needs and priorities.
As an AIA Dental Panel clinic, the fees of the dental services stated in the policy will be billed directly to AIA, allowing you to enjoy cashless dental treatments.
Treatment fees that are not covered by the AIA policy will be payable by patients. You will be informed of the treatment procedures and fees involved. We will only carry out the treatments upon your approval.
How do we work?
During the consultation, photographs will be taken using an intraoral camera or a microscope. X-rays may be taken if necessary. This information is vital for our dentists to customise a treatment plan to address your dental issues and concerns.
After the first visit, every patient will receive a treatment plan, along with dental photographs and X-rays. It is for easy reference and discussion with your family and loved ones, as needed. You may refer to and keep track of your treatment progress with the treatment plan on hand.
During subsequent visits, we will schedule sufficient time as needed for each treatment.
*A refundable deposit may be collected for subsequent appointments, reservations of 60 minutes or longer.
Time is the most valuable commodity. We value your time as much as ours.
We will collect a *deposit of $50 for a long appointment reservation (60 minutes or longer). This deposit will be refunded at the end of the appointment or carried forward to a subsequent long appointment reservation.
