EDUCATION AND RESEARCH

inews IDEM 2020 Soft Edition
With its opening on July 2019, the $370 million National University Center for Oral Health
Singapore (NUCOHS) becomes the second national facility in Singapore to offer specialized
dental health services. Member of the National University Health System (NUHS), NUCOHS
enables NUH’s University Dental Cluster (UDC) and the National University of Singapore (NUS)
Faculty of Dentistry (FOD) to operate within the National University Health System (NUHS) under
an academic health center governance model, encompassing education, research, and clinical
services. The new national specialty center provides a comprehensive spectrum of dental care
from orthodontics, to pediatric dentistry, periodontics, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery,
which addresses diseases and injuries to the face, mouth and jaw.
Set up to cope with the rising demand for dental services from Singaporeans, the new facility
will offer similar services to the National Dental Centre, as more Singaporeans have become
aware of the importance of maintaining good oral health, with more seeking out basic and
specialized dental services. Also, the capacity of one center to cope with the needs of Singapore's
growing and ageing population has been outstripped. As such, together with the existing
National Dental Centre Singapore in Outram Campus, NUCOHS will significantly
increase capacity for subsidized specialist dental treatment for more severe or
complex dental conditions.
The dental market in the region has seen a steady growth. According to a report by Business
Monitor International, the Singapore market for dental products is expected to reach US$ 38.7
million by 2020. This growth can be attributed to the rising middle-class that is increasingly
demanding more and better-quality dental treatment. In line with the rising demand, NUCOHS
increased its capacity from 300 patients a day at National University Hospital’s (NUH) University
Dental Cluster to treating 500 patients a day when fully operational. This represents a 40 %
increase from NUH’s current patient capacity. Located at the National University Health System
(NUHS) Kent Ridge Campus, the new dental center brings together dental services from the
National University Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Alexandra Hospital, Jurong
Medical Centre and National University Polyclinics with the National University of Singapore’s
(NUS) Faculty of Dentistry. NUCOHS offers subsidized patient care, and it plans to work with
polyclinic groups to provide dental care for patients nationwide.
The new center is equipped with patient-centric facilities to manage the oral health needs
of elderly patients, as well as those with special needs and co-existing medical conditions
rendering routine dental treatment that are more complex. Other than patient services, the
11-storey building also has training and research capabilities, as part of its partnership with
the NUS Faculty of Dentistry. One floor is dedicated to research laboratories. NUCOHS can
also accommodate the relocated NUS Faculty of Dentistry and increase annual undergraduate
student intake from 60 to 80 by 2021.
