Dr. Jerry Lim B.D.S (Singapore) , FRACDS (Australia)

Orchard Scotts Dental

Dr. Lim, our host to this lecture, has a genuine heart for his patients; he is a firm believer in taking a holistic approach to aesthetic dentistry, focusing on not only restoring the functional capabilities of the patient, but going one step further to enhance and balance the appearance of the patient’s smile and face.

This belief drove his interest in cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry, motivating him to pursue advanced neuromuscular and aesthetic dentistry training at Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dentistry (LVI Global), Occlusion Connections (OC), and Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy (IDEA). The extensive experience and skill afforded to him through years of advanced aesthetic training has helped improve the quality of life for many of his clients.

He is currently adjunct lecturer at the National University of Singapore, and was past President of the College of General Dental Practitioners Singapore.
