Expat Dental (Raffles Place) ✓ ACRA Verified

Dental fees in Singapore vary significantly by procedure. A routine consultation and examination typically runs S$50–100, a scale-and-polish S$80–150, a basic filling S$80–200 depending on material and cavity size, a crown S$1,200–2,500, a root canal treatment S$800–1,500 per tooth, and orthodontic treatment (braces or clear aligners) S$3,500–8,000 for the full course. GST applies on all dental procedures. Expat Dental (Raffles Place) displays a mid-range pricing indicator, so costs may sit toward the upper end of these bands. Confirm the specific fees for your planned treatment at the consultation, and ask whether an itemised treatment plan can be provided in writing before proceeding.

Most dental clinics, including general practices, accept patients directly without a GP referral. You can book a first appointment by describing your concern — routine check-up, a specific tooth complaint, or an interest in orthodontic or cosmetic treatment — and the clinic will advise on the appropriate appointment type and duration. A referral from a GP or specialist may be useful if you are claiming dental costs through a corporate insurance plan, as some insurers require pre-authorisation for higher-cost procedures such as implants, crowns, or surgical extractions. If you have complex medical conditions (blood thinners, bisphosphonate use, heart conditions requiring antibiotic prophylaxis), bring a summary of your current medications so the dentist can plan treatment safely.

Dentists practising in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC), which operates under the Ministry of Health. Registration is verifiable on the SDC's online public register at hprof.gov.sg — search by the dentist's name to confirm their registration status and any conditions on practice. Specialist dentists (orthodontists, periodontists, oral surgeons, endodontists, prosthodontists, and paediatric dentists) hold an additional specialist registration with the SDC and can be identified on the specialist register. No regulatory licences are listed in the current KakiList data for Expat Dental (Raffles Place) — confirm the consulting dentist's SDC registration number directly with the clinic before proceeding with treatment. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the SDC public register before treatment.
