Her story
From patient to dentist, with a focus on confident smiles.
Dr. Jamie Chew’s interest in dentistry began with her own experience of orthodontic treatment as a teenager. Inspired by the positive impact it had on her confidence, she pursued dentistry to help others achieve healthy smiles and feel more confident about their oral health.

Education and Early Career
She graduated from the International Medical University (IMU) in 2012 as part of its pioneering batch of dental students.

Clinical Interests and Approach
Dr. Jamie has a particular interest in airway-focused orthodontics, paediatric dentistry, and dental sleep medicine. Her approach considers tooth alignment alongside jaw development, breathing, and sleep. Where clinically appropriate, she uses orthodontic expansion appliances, including miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE).
She also provides implant treatment, including single and multiple implant placements. Three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging may be used to support treatment planning when indicated.
