Dental services in Hong Kong: what they cost in 2026

Updated 4 November 2026

A check-up at a dental clinic in Hong Kong usually costs from HK$600, a filling from about HK$900, and a root canal from HK$6,600 per tooth. Prices vary by clinic and by treatment, so the quickest way to see current figures for your case is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Public or private: what the price depends on

Government dental services use their own fee schedule for eligible persons. Non-eligible patients pay HK$850 for a consultation at the public general session, which also covers extractions and oral surgical emergencies. Private prices depend on the treatment, the materials and the clinic, so two quotes for the same job can differ. Ask for a written estimate that lists the treatment before any work starts.

Registration and licences

Every dentist practising in Hong Kong must be registered under the Dentists Registration Ordinance, and the Dental Council of Hong Kong handles registration enquiries, so ask the clinic for the dentist's registration when you book. A dental clinic may also need a clinic licence under Cap. 633, with a government application fee from HK$8,840 for up to five rooms to HK$10,900 for more than ten. Clinics that use X-ray equipment fall under the Radiation Ordinance.

Season and timing

Dental care is not seasonal in Hong Kong, but the calendar still matters. November falls between the winter months of December to February and the summer months of June to August, so a treatment that needs several visits can be finished before the summer. Most adults are advised to have a cleaning every six months, so an autumn booking fits that rhythm.

How dental work is bought here

Clinics price each item separately: a check-up, a cleaning, a filling, a root canal per tooth. Charges are based on the procedure actually carried out, so the final bill can differ from the first price list. Clinics in Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan and Tuen Mun serve different parts of the city, and a long trip means more time off work, so choose the area before you compare quotes.

What to put in your request

Describe the problem in your own words: which tooth or teeth are involved, whether you have pain now, and whether you need an X-ray or CT scan. Add your age group, because the fee schedules list adults and children separately, the materials you prefer, and your budget. Name the area you can reach, such as Tsuen Wan or Kowloon, and say whether you want a dentist with a certain number of years of experience.

Write your request in the BlaBlaPrice chat, and a photo can be added. The AI reads it, asks for missing details, looks through clinic price lists and sellers' websites in Hong Kong, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, while your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. Browse Dentistry or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
