Dental services in Singapore are SDC-regulated (Singapore Dental Council). For specialised procedures (orthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, prosthodontics), SDC specialist registration matters — general dentists performing complex root canals or orthodontics without specialist training often produce inferior outcomes. Equipment (digital X-ray, intraoral cameras, 3D CBCT) varies widely and affects diagnostic quality. KakiList connects you with 121 verified Dental providers serving the Bukit Merah area.

Scaling and polishing: S\$90-180 (S\$40-80 subsidised at polyclinics). Filling: S\$100-280. Root canal (molar): S\$600-1,800. Crown (ceramic/zirconia): S\$1,200-2,800. Wisdom tooth surgical extraction: S\$600-3,500 (MediSave-claimable). Invisalign: S\$5,500-9,500. Dental implant: S\$3,500-6,500 per tooth.
For complex procedures (molar root canal, orthodontic cases, dental implants, oral surgery), SDC specialist registration matters. General dentists performing these without specialist training often produce inferior outcomes (retreatment rates 30-50% higher). For routine care (cleaning, basic fillings, extractions), general dentists are sufficient.
Yes for eligible procedures: wisdom tooth surgical extraction, major oral surgery (not routine cleaning), some dental implant surgery. Check with your dentist and CPF for current eligibility. Claims typically cover S\$600-2,000 per procedure. Corporate insurance may cover additional — check with your HR.
Polyclinic pricing is government-subsidised and available to eligible Singaporeans. Private dental clinics price at full market rate without subsidy. Private chains (Q&M, T32, Greenlife) charge 2-3× polyclinic rates but offer longer appointment times, specialist services, and premium technology. Pick based on need — routine scaling at polyclinic, complex work at private.
Yes if the recommendation doesn't match clinical findings. Some clinics push "4-6 crowns" or "full smile makeover" on healthy teeth without justification. Quality dentists recommend based on actual findings, not revenue targets. If recommended work doesn't make sense, get a second opinion — complex dental work is difficult to reverse.
