Dental services in the Philippines: what it costs

Updated 1 November 2026

Dental treatment in the Philippines costs from about ₱300 for a consultation and ₱800 to ₱3,000 for a cleaning, while a root canal ranges from ₱6,000 to ₱30,000. Implants are priced per tooth, from about ₱50,000 to ₱160,000. For a price for your own case, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and what to check at the clinic

Local sources say a dentist must hold a valid PRC licence, and a dental clinic that sells only services is exempt from the Mayor's Permit or business licence. Ask to see the dentist's PRC certificate before treatment starts. Most treatment beyond basic care, such as root canals and braces, is a private fee, so ask for each step in writing.

Timing and the climate

The climate is tropical and hot all year, with wet and dry seasons rather than winter, so there is no cold-weather peak to plan around. Book when your schedule allows, and say in the request when you need treatment and whether pain is already a problem. That helps sellers offer the earliest suitable time.

How dental care is bought here

Dental care is bought in person at a clinic in your city, such as Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati. Prices are quoted per procedure, and per tooth for extractions and implants, so one price for a visit may not cover the whole plan. Ask whether the quote includes the consultation and the material.

What to write in your request

Name the service and the number of teeth, and describe the tooth condition and any pain. Add the material you prefer, your budget in pesos, the city or area and the patient's age if it is a child. Say when you need the treatment and whether you want pain relief before the visit.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe your dental need in your own words in the chat, and the AI asks for missing details, such as the number of teeth. It then looks through clinic price lists and websites in the Philippines and shows the prices it finds. Registered sellers reply with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. For implants see Dental implants, and for general care see Dental treatment.
