Dentistry in Singapore: fees, CHAS and what to ask the clinic

Updated 31 October 2026

Dental care in Singapore typically costs S$22 to S$55 for a GP consultation, S$87 to S$153 for scaling and polishing, and S$600 to S$1,800 for root canal treatment, with braces from about S$4,000. These are approximate prices, according to clinic price lists and a government fee guide, October 2026. For a quote for your treatment, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and the AI will look up current clinic fees.

Subsidies and what to ask the clinic

Some clinics say CHAS and Medisave may apply to treatment, and the government fee guide sets CHAS benchmarks, such as S$500 to S$818 for a complete removable denture. Ask whether your treatment is covered and what you would pay. Clinics quote fees either including GST or excluding 9% GST, so ask which applies before you book.

Registration and clinic licences

All dentists in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council, so ask the dentist for the registration before treatment starts. Outpatient dental clinics need a licence, and one licence fee in the results is S$360 for each stand-alone service. Check that the clinic holds this licence as well as the dentist's own registration.

Season and timing

Singapore's climate does not change dental work, so there is no season to wait for. Braces and implants usually need several visits, so plan the first appointment around your work or school schedule, and book soon if the tooth is painful.

What to write in your request

Say which treatment you need, such as a check-up, a filling, an extraction, braces or dentures, and whether it is for an adult or a child. Mention the tooth or area if you know it, your preferred area (Tampines, Woodlands, Jurong West, Ang Mo Kio or Singapore city), and whether you want CHAS or Medisave used. Your budget helps clinics propose a plan that fits.
