Short answer: Larkin has 12 listings on DentalJB, 11 of which are identifiable clinics, sitting 4.7–5.4 km from Woodlands CIQ. The most-reviewed are Klinik Pergigian Arina (4.8★, 347 reviews), Dental Eclipse Larkin (4.9★, 299 reviews) and Dental Legacy Larkin (4.8★, 275 reviews). If you specifically want braces, aligners, veneers or whitening, Avisienna and Dental Legacy are the two Larkin listings that advertise those services.
Larkin is JB's main intercity bus hub, and its clinics mostly serve a local Johor Bahru clientele rather than the Singaporean visitor market. That tends to mean no-frills, neighbourhood-style practices rather than polished showpieces, and our directory's own area notes describe Larkin clinics as generally more affordable than those in the city centre. The trade-off is that fewer of them are set up around Singaporean patients, so it pays to read ratings and review counts carefully.
A Note on the Data in This Area
Two things in the live Larkin data are worth knowing before you rely on it:
- One listing is not a verified clinic. The entry called "Taman Puteri Wangsa" has no Google rating, no reviews, no phone number, no opening hours and no street address on its DentalJB profile — and the name matches a residential neighbourhood rather than a clinic brand. We have left it out of the rankings below. Treat it as a possible placeholder or incomplete record until it is confirmed on Google Maps or by phone.
- Tuas distances don't match. The Larkin area page's summary says 20–25 km from the Tuas Second Link, but the individual clinic listings show 15.5–16.9 km. We use the per-clinic figures below, since they are what the directory computes for each clinic.
Also note that every Larkin listing showed as "Closed" when we pulled the page, and DentalJB's profiles don't carry full street addresses for these clinics, so check live hours and location on Google Maps or via WhatsApp before travelling.
Distance from Singapore
| Checkpoint | Distance | Typical travel |
|---|---|---|
| Woodlands CIQ | 4.7 – 5.4 km | Grab from JB Sentral, about RM 8–12 |
| Tuas Second Link | 15.5 – 16.9 km | Per-clinic figures in our directory |
Woodlands is the natural crossing for Larkin. Most patients cross by bus or train to JB Sentral and Grab the last 10–15 minutes. See our full transport guide for bus routes and fares from both sides.

| Klinik Pergigian Wawasan | 3.8★ | 5 | 5.0 km | General, Scaling, Crowns |
Reading this table: Astana Dental's perfect 5.0★ is a strong signal at 141 reviews, but Zawiah (10 reviews) and Wawasan (5 reviews) are too thin to draw conclusions from either way. Several clinics here sit at 3.8–4.0★, noticeably lower than the 4.6–5.0★ common in other JB areas we've covered, so rating and review count are worth checking individually rather than assuming the area average. Where "Not shown" appears, the directory has no service list for that clinic — ask by WhatsApp. For live hours, WhatsApp contact and map view, use the Larkin area page or the clinic directory.
Verifying a Larkin Clinic Before You Book
Because most Larkin clinics are small neighbourhood practices, it's worth a one-minute check on any of them. Malaysia's Ministry of Health runs an official Practitioner Register Search where you choose "Malaysian Dental Council" as the council, pick the state, and search by registration number, practitioner name or premise name. The Ministry's private medical practice division also publishes lists of licensed private healthcare facilities, including a dental clinic list, as links to spreadsheets on that page. Our step-by-step walkthrough is in the MDC verification guide, and our safety overview covers what else to look for.

How to Get to Larkin from Singapore
By bus or train + Grab: Cross to JB Sentral, then take a Grab to Larkin — typically RM 8–12 and 10–15 minutes. Some CW bus services also stop near Larkin, so check the route before boarding; the Grab is usually quicker than waiting for a specific bus.
By car: Cross at Woodlands CIQ and head for Larkin, around 5 km from the checkpoint.
Once the RTS Link opens (targeted December 2026, see our RTS Link guide), Larkin will still need a short Grab or bus transfer from the JB terminus. For routes and fares today, see how to get to a JB dentist from Singapore.
