Dental treatment in the Philippines: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Dental treatment in the Philippines costs from about ₱300 for a consultation, ₱800 to ₱3,000 for a cleaning and ₱2,000 to ₱4,500 for a filling, while a root canal runs from about ₱3,500 to ₱30,000. For a quote for your own teeth, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, and the AI looks through clinics' price lists and sellers' websites in the Philippines.

Licences and what to check

Every dentist practising in the Philippines must hold a valid PRC licence that is kept current, together with a Professional Tax Receipt from the local government unit where they practise, according to one guide. Ask to see both, and ask how many years the dentist has practised before you book.

What PhilHealth covers and what is private

PhilHealth has a benefit for preventive oral health services in primary care, and its notice says emergency tooth extraction is covered within that package. Other care is a private fee: one source lists root canals from ₱3,500 and braces at ₱45,000 in that group. Ask for a written estimate before the first appointment.

Timing and climate

The Philippines is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, and the sources do not link dental prices to any season. Choose the date by your schedule, and book a consultation before any treatment that has a fixed cost.

How it is quoted

Some fees are quoted per tooth: one Manila clinic lists a fissure sealant at ₱2,000 per tooth. A price list also gives a discount when three teeth or more are treated, so combine work where you can. Clinics in Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City and Makati set their own fees, so compare the same treatment in your city.

What to write in your request

Name the complaint or diagnosis, which teeth and how many, the treatment you expect, the materials you prefer and whether you need pain relief. Add whether you have an X-ray or CT scan, your city or area, when you can come, your budget, and the experience you want from the dentist.
