Expat Dental ✓ ACRA Verified

Private paediatric dental consultations in Singapore typically run S$80–150 for a first visit, with follow-up reviews at S$60–120. Common add-ons include dental radiographs (S$30–80 per film or S$100–200 for a full-mouth series), fissure sealants (S$50–100 per tooth), fillings (S$80–250 per tooth depending on material and size), and fluoride treatments (S$30–60). Extractions range from S$80–300 depending on complexity, and procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthesia carry significantly higher costs. GST applies on private dental services. Any planned procedure should come with a written financial counselling estimate that separates insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions. MediSave can be used for selected dental procedures under specific withdrawal limits — confirm eligibility with the clinic before the appointment. Contact Expat Dental directly for a current fee schedule, as pricing varies by procedure and the treating dentist. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →

Every legitimate dental clinic in Singapore holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Practising dentists are registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC); paediatric dental specialists hold an SDC specialist accreditation in Paediatric Dentistry, which is a separate credential beyond general dental registration. You can search the SDC public register by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation, and any disciplinary history. No regulatory licences appear in Expat Dental's current listing data, and ACRA registration is not confirmed. This does not necessarily indicate a problem — the clinic may hold the relevant MOH licence and SDC registrations that were not captured at the time of listing. However, patients should verify both the clinic licence on the MOH directory and the treating dentist's SDC entry before booking, rather than relying on the listing alone. Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Dental Council register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life may cover selected dental day-surgery procedures — for example, surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth or procedures performed under general anaesthesia — subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Routine consultations, fillings, and scaling are generally not covered by IPs. Confirm pre-authorisation and, where applicable, a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure to avoid billing disputes. MediSave can be used for approved dental surgical procedures — most commonly surgical extractions — under MediSave withdrawal limits. Routine restorative work and preventive treatments are typically not MediSave-claimable. For paediatric patients, parents or legal guardians may use their own MediSave account to pay for the child's eligible procedures. For any planned treatment, request a financial counselling session at Expat Dental. A written pre-treatment estimate that splits the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions is standard practice at reputable private dental clinics and removes ambiguity from the final bill.
