Caring for KK smiles in Likas for 17+ years

A trusted klinik gigi built on one simple idea — that dental care should feel calm, honest and genuinely painless. That's been our focus in Likas since day one.

Where it began

A trusted Likas practice, built over 17+ years

FTS Chin Dental — Klinik Pergigian F.T.S. Chin — was established in Likas in April 2004, and grew over the years into a practice KK families came to know and trust.

In 2020, the clinic was handed to Dr. Esther Tan, who leads it today as principal dentist and clinic manager. Under her care, FTS Chin Dental has stayed true to its roots while keeping pace with modern dentistry — up-to-date technology, holistic care, and a warm, welcoming space.

Above all, our promise is painless dentistry. We take the time to listen, explain your options clearly, and keep every visit gentle — so a trip to the dentist feels reassuring, not stressful.
