Dr Kim Ki Lim is the worst dentist I’ve ever had in Singapore or malaysia. I regularly go to B9 and because Dr Zhang Ruoxi was on leave I was attended to by Dr Kim. He used excessive force whilst cleaning my teeth, and even when I shirked away 4 times because it was so painful, he didn’t care and just continued trying to finish the cleaning ASAP. He caused more damage to my gums than benefits from the cleaning. Absolutely regret letting him touch my teeth. Thankfully I have experiences with so many different dentists to know that Dr Kim’s service is absolutely not acceptable and even harmful to my gums. NEVER let him touch your teeth.

Brought a friend to this dental clinic recently because she needed to extract a tooth due to pain. We made advanced appointment with the reception but when we got in there, no one at the front counter. Filled up the form and waited for the longest time. Appointment made at 12.30pm, filled in the form, told us to get seated. Other patients came and went in ahead of us even though our appointment was earlier. Waited close to 2 hours before the dentist could see us. Is there something inefficient with the appointment taking system? Or bad organisation? Let’s not talk about the dentist because what greeted us was bad service, inefficient management and no customer service. Please do not go. There are many others that are way better. If I can give a zero star rating, I will. 1-star rating is just too generous. Think twice before making the appointment.

UNWILLING TO ASSIST IN DENTAL ISSUE I went for a consult regarding a sensitive hairline crack pre-molar tooth with the filling gone & was told by Dr Magnus Kaung that he will not do the re-filling as it would cause it to crack further should pressure be applied on it. Although I requested for it & was aware of the possible consequences but he still refused to do it. He said I should seek another dentist as he was unwilling to do it. So I requested for just a cleaning which was poorly done. By the way, the subsequent dentist which I visited did re-fill my crack & noted that it might be a gum problem as the cracked tooth wasn’t sensitive!👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

The waiting time at this clinic is appalling. My appointment was scheduled for 3:30pm, yet the receptionist claimed it was at 4pm. Regardless, I was left waiting an outrageous 2.5–3 hours before being seen. This lack of respect for patients’ time is unprofessional and unethical. Because of this delay, I even had to miss an important client appointment. Every visit ends up the same—with excessive waiting A reputable clinic should never treat patients’ time so carelessly.

Terrible experience!! Almost all the gum area at the sides of each tooth were bleeding after the scaling and polishing procedure. I can't recall the dentist's name but he was Indian. Would not recommend this clinic at all. Made an appointment but had to wait 1-2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does B9 Dental Centre (Hougang Central) charge per session?›
Dental fees in Singapore vary by procedure. A routine consultation and check-up typically runs S$30–80, professional scaling and polishing S$60–150, fillings S$80–250 depending on material and cavity size, and extractions S$80–350 (more for surgical extractions).

Medisave can be used for approved surgical procedures such as surgical extraction of wisdom teeth (up to S$950–1,250 per tooth depending on complexity). Routine check-ups, scaling, and non-surgical fillings are not Medisave-claimable. If you hold dental insurance, confirm which procedures are covered and whether the clinic accepts direct billing before your appointment. See the full dental cost guide for Singapore →
Do I need a referral or assessment first?›
No referral is required to visit B9 Dental Centre (Hougang Central) for a general dental appointment. At your first visit, the dentist will conduct a clinical examination and may take X-rays to assess your dental health before recommending a treatment plan. It is helpful to bring any recent X-rays or dental records from a previous dentist if you have them, as this can avoid duplication of diagnostics. If you have a complex medical history — such as blood-thinning medication, heart conditions, or a history of bisphosphonate use — inform the clinic when booking so the dentist can prepare appropriately. For specialist-level treatments such as orthodontics, implants, or oral surgery, a general dentist may refer you to a specialist registered with the Singapore Dental Council.
Is the practitioner licensed?›
Dentists practising in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC), the statutory body under the Ministry of Health. You can verify any dentist's registration on the SDC's public register at hprg.moh.gov.sg. Dental clinics operating as premises also require a clinic licence from MOH. B9 Dental Centre (Hougang Central) does not list specific regulatory licences on this KakiList profile. Before treatment, it is reasonable to ask the clinic to confirm the name of the consulting dentist and their SDC registration number, particularly if you are attending for an invasive procedure. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the Singapore Dental Council's public register before treatment.
