With nearly three decades of experience, cosmetic dentist Rex Tan has helped countless patients achieve stunning smile transformations without braces or extractions through his signature White Teeth Treatment (SWT)—each treatment takes just 90 minutes.
In today’s social media-savvy world, flawless teeth have become a must-have for public image. Whether naturally beautiful or enhanced through filters, perfectly white teeth have become the new standard of beauty.
While many opted for lengthy braces and whitening treatments, Rex Tan’s innovative SWT technique offers a quick and non-invasive alternative.
As the founder of Smile Inc Dental Surgeons, Rex Tan views dental aesthetics as “artistic creation.” He not only reshapes misaligned, crooked, and asymmetrical teeth, but also skillfully sculpts them using resin and ceramic materials to address challenges such as overlap and discoloration, rendering each tooth like a meticulously sculpted work of art. During treatment, no teeth need to be moved, eliminating the risk of recurrence.
Rex vividly remembers a Fortune 500 CEO who, after treatment, completely transformed his attitude towards others—from shyness to a confident handshake. His smile became the key to his renewed vitality.
“Many patients say they would have tried this treatment sooner if they had known about it earlier,” Rex said. “In just 90 minutes, their confidence and smiles have greatly improved.”
Beyond technological innovation, Rex also emphasizes the importance of artistry. “Designing the perfect smile is not just about the technique; it’s about a deep understanding of the patient’s personality, face shape, and lip shape, and tailoring it to their individual needs,” he said. This art is rooted in extensive clinical experience and a meticulous attention to detail.
In 1997, Rex introduced laser whitening technology to Singapore for the first time and registered the SWT trademark, establishing himself as a pioneer in cosmetic dentistry.
However, he admits that his success is inseparable from the all-round support of his wife, Grace. She handles accounting, human resources, and public relations, providing the solid foundation for the clinic’s stable operations.
This “smile sculptor” remains passionate about his profession, working six days a week for 30 years. He shared, “My patients’ trust is what keeps me going.
Even if they’ve moved abroad, they still choose to return here for treatment, which makes me incredibly proud. Seeing their smiles praised is my biggest motivation to keep going.”
For Rex, cosmetic dentistry is more than just a career; it’s a mission to change lives. As long as he can help his patients achieve confident smiles and healthy mouths, he will continue to work tirelessly to create miracles.
