Dental treatment in Hong Kong: fillings, root canals and fees

Updated 4 November 2026

A filling in Hong Kong costs from about HK$900 and a root canal from HK$6,600 per tooth, according to clinic fee schedules, and a check-up starts at HK$600. Charges depend on the treatment actually carried out, so a request on BlaBlaPrice is the fastest way to get a current price for your case.

Government clinics and private fees

Government dental clinics publish their own charges. For eligible persons, emergency treatment at a Government Dental Clinic is HK$90 per item. Non-eligible patients pay HK$850 for a consultation at the public general session, which also covers extractions and emergency oral surgery. Private prices vary by clinic, so compare written estimates rather than advertised starting prices.

Registration, licences and X-ray

Dentists must be registered under the Dentists Registration Ordinance, and the Dental Council of Hong Kong handles registration enquiries, so check the dentist's registration when you book. A clinic that uses X-ray equipment falls under the Radiation Ordinance and needs a licence from the Radiation Board. Ask whether the clinic holds it, especially if a CT scan is part of the plan.

Season and timing

Dental treatment is not seasonal, so the calendar matters mainly for scheduling. November lies between Hong Kong's winter, December to February, and summer, June to August. Root canal and retreatment cases often need more than one visit, so start early enough to finish before a trip. Most adults are advised to have a cleaning every six months, which helps catch problems early.

How treatment is priced and agreed

Clinics price each item separately and charge for the procedure actually done, so the final bill can differ from the first quote. Ask for a written estimate that covers the recommended treatment before work starts, since one clinic states that it provides one. Fees are quoted in Hong Kong dollars, and a visit to Tsuen Wan or Sha Tin means a trip across the city, so choose the area first.

What to write in your request

Describe the complaint or the diagnosis you have been given, which tooth or teeth are involved, and what treatment was proposed. Say whether you need pain relief, an X-ray or CT scan, and when you can come. Add your area of Hong Kong, your budget, and whether you want a dentist with a certain number of years in practice. Mention materials you prefer, such as a composite filling, if you have a view.

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, Dental services or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
