Dental fees in Singapore vary considerably by treatment type. A routine consultation and scaling-and-polishing typically runs S$80–180 at a private clinic; fillings range from S$80–250 depending on material and cavity size; extractions S$80–350 (surgical extractions higher); root canal treatment S$800–1,800 per tooth; and crowns S$1,200–2,500. Canaan Dental Surgery's price display is indicated as mid-range ($$), but specific fee schedules are not publicly listed — confirm the cost of your planned treatment before the appointment. MediSave can be used for certain oral surgical procedures (e.g. surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth) up to the MediSave withdrawal limits. CHAS and Pioneer Generation subsidies apply at enrolled GP dental panels; confirm directly whether Canaan Dental Surgery participates. GST applies on dental services at private clinics.

No referral is required to book a first appointment at a private dental clinic. Most patients contact the practice directly, describe their concern — pain, sensitivity, cosmetic issue, or a routine check-up — and are booked in for an examination. At that appointment, the dentist will carry out a clinical assessment, take X-rays where indicated, and discuss findings before recommending any treatment. If you are seeking specialist dental care (orthodontics, implants, oral surgery, or periodontics), the general dentist may refer you to a specialist after the initial assessment. For patients with complex medical histories — anticoagulants, bisphosphonates, immunosuppressants, uncontrolled diabetes — it is worth informing the clinic in advance so that appropriate precautions can be taken.

All practising dentists in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC) under the Dental Registration Act. You can verify any dentist's registration on the SDC's public online register before booking. Specialist dentists (orthodontists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, paediatric dentists, and endodontists) hold an additional specialist registration and must practise within their approved scope. Canaan Dental Surgery's regulatory licences are not listed on this KakiList profile. Before your appointment, ask the clinic for the treating dentist's full name and confirm their SDC registration number on the council's register. This takes under two minutes and is the most reliable way to confirm that the practitioner is currently licensed to practise in Singapore. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
