Dental fees in Singapore vary by procedure. A routine consultation and examination typically runs S$30–80, professional scaling and polishing S$80–200, a single tooth filling S$80–250 depending on material (composite or amalgam), a straightforward extraction S$80–200, and a root canal S$600–1,500+ per tooth. X-rays are usually billed separately at S$20–80 per film. GST applies to dental procedures. Patients holding CHAS cards (Blue, Orange, or Pioneer/Merdeka) may be entitled to subsidised rates at participating clinics — confirm with Hougang Family Dental whether they are a CHAS-accredited provider. Some Medisave-claimable procedures (such as surgical extractions and certain oral surgery) may be partially offset subject to CPF Board limits. See the full dental cost guide for Singapore →

No referral is required to visit a general dental clinic — you can book directly by phone or via the contact form. At the first appointment, the dentist will carry out an oral examination, review your dental history, and may take diagnostic X-rays before recommending a treatment plan. This initial assessment helps establish what procedures are needed and in what order. If you have a complex condition — such as advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth requiring surgical extraction, or a need for orthodontic or implant treatment — the clinic may refer you to a specialist at a polyclinic or restructured hospital, or to a specialist dental practice. It is useful to bring any recent dental X-rays or records from a previous provider to avoid duplication.

All dentists practising in Singapore must be registered with the Singapore Dental Council (SDC) under the Dental Registration Act. You can verify any dentist's registration — including name, registration number, and any conditions on practice — on the SDC's public online register at sdc.gov.sg before your appointment. Dental clinics must also hold an MOH clinic licence under the Healthcare Services Act. No regulatory licences are currently listed in Hougang Family Dental's KakiList record. Prospective patients are advised to confirm the names and SDC registration numbers of the consulting dentists directly with the clinic before proceeding with treatment. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
