Dental fees vary by procedure. In Singapore, a routine scaling and polishing at a private dental clinic typically costs S$80–150, a basic filling S$100–200, a tooth extraction S$80–300 (surgical extractions up to S$600–1,200), and orthodontic treatment S$3,500–8,000+ depending on the appliance type. First consultation or examination fees typically run S$50–100 at a private clinic, with dental radiographs billed separately at S$20–80 per film. For planned procedures, request a written cost breakdown before proceeding. Some dental procedures — primarily surgical extractions and certain oral surgery — are MediSave-claimable under the MediSave withdrawal limits (up to S$1,250 per procedure for selected oral surgery). Routine cleaning and examination are not MediSave-claimable. GST applies on private dental services. See the full paediatric dental cost guide for Singapore →

Every legitimate dental clinic operating in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, and every practising dentist must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC) — the dental equivalent of the SMC register, verifiable at dentalcouncil.gov.sg. No regulatory licences were recorded on this listing at the time of publication, which means verification could not be completed from the available data alone. Before booking, confirm the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence directly with the clinic or on the MOH licensee directory, and search the named dentist's registration on the SDC public register. For specialist dental procedures — paediatric dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, or prosthodontics — confirm whether the dentist holds a recognised specialist accreditation with the SDC, as general dental practitioners and registered specialists operate under different scopes of practice.

Most outpatient dental treatment — routine scaling, fillings, crowns, bridges, and standard extractions — is not claimable under MediSave or Integrated Shield Plans. MediSave withdrawal for dental is limited to specific procedures: surgical extraction of impacted teeth, dental implants (subject to conditions), and certain other oral surgical procedures under the MediSave Dental Withdrawal scheme, up to S$1,250 per procedure per year from your own account. If you hold a Integrated Shield Plan, check your policy document carefully — most IP policies cover inpatient and day-surgery hospitalisation, and dental is typically excluded unless the treatment arises from an accident and requires hospitalisation. For any planned procedure where MediSave is applicable, request a written financial counselling estimate from the clinic that separates the MediSave-claimable portion, any insurer payout, and the out-of-pocket balance before consenting to treatment.
