Flash those pearly whites with a tech boost

THE business of dentistry is more than just about crowns, bridges and implants. For Jeremy Cheah, founder and managing director of Straits Dental Group, it is about balancing his dentistry skills with business acumen.

The NUS Dentistry graduate realised his dream of owning a business and started Straits Dental in 2003 (see correction note) after working in both public and private practice for a total of seven years.

The clinic at Orchard Road's International Building began with Dr Cheah and a nurse. On days when she could not make it to work, he had to do everything from opening doors to writing receipts.
