Top 7 Budget-Friendly Dental Clinics in Singapore for Scaling, Polishing, and More (2026)

Lifestyle

Regular dental visits are essential for maintaining a healthy smile, but seeing the dentist every six months as often recommended can be expensive, especially in Singapore where dental fees tend to be on the higher side. If your oral hygiene is good, you might stretch visits to once every 18 months or two years. Still, regular check-ups help detect problems like cavities early, preventing costly treatments later.

To keep your teeth in top shape without breaking the bank, here’s a list of seven affordable dental clinics in Singapore where you can get consultations, scaling, polishing, and more at wallet-friendly prices in 2026.

  1. Polyclinics under SingHealth, NHG, and NUP ($70.20 – $125.80) If you need just a simple check-up and cleaning, public polyclinics are a great option. SingHealth, National Healthcare Group (NHG), and National University Polyclinics (NUP) offer dental services at selected locations. Booking appointments online through the HealthHub app makes visits hassle-free with minimal waiting time.

Typical consultation fees for Singapore citizens range between $19 to $36, with scaling and polishing fees varying. For example, SingHealth charges from $49.80 to $89.20 for adults. Children and seniors enjoy lower fees. Note that only specific polyclinics provide dental services, such as Bedok, Eunos, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Tampines (SingHealth), Ang Mo Kio, Geylang, Hougang, Khatib, Toa Payoh, Woodlands (NHG), and Bukit Panjang, Jurong, Queenstown (NUP).

  1. Denticare ($93 – $196) With over 15 clinics islandwide and mobile units, Denticare is convenient for many. Consultation fees range from $27 to $44, while scaling and polishing cost between $65 and $153. Subsidies are available for CHAS, Pioneer Generation, and Merdeka Generation cardholders, making treatments even more affordable.

  2. The Dental Studio ($88) Located in prime spots like Orchard and Tanjong Pagar, The Dental Studio offers an $88 nett package for scaling and polishing — a great deal in the city center. Their clinics are easy to access, making routine dental care convenient.

  3. Advance Dental Group ($90 – $170) Operating since 1986, Advance Dental Group has expanded to over 20 clinics across Singapore, providing a wide range of dental services. Consultation fees start at $20, with scaling and polishing around $70 to $130. Eligible cardholders can enjoy subsidies to lower costs further.

  4. Newport Dental (From $95) Situated in Kallang Wave Mall near Stadium MRT, Newport Dental offers affordable care with consultation plus cleaning starting at $95. For those looking to brighten their smile further, adding a stain removal treatment brings the cost to about $130. Special rates are available for certain insurance holders and employees of SMRT or Sports SG.

  5. TS Dental Care ($90 – $130) TS Dental Care is known for affordable scaling and polishing packages, with prices ranging from $90 to $130. They have a convenient location in Lavender, ideal for those working or living nearby.

  6. Azure Dental ($170 – $220) For those looking for a full-service dental clinic with advanced care options, Azure Dental in Bukit Timah offers comprehensive services. While prices are higher, they still provide competitive rates for scaling and polishing, making it a solid choice for quality dental care.

In summary, maintaining dental health doesn’t have to be costly if you know where to go. Public polyclinics offer budget-friendly options, while private chains like Denticare and The Dental Studio provide affordable and convenient alternatives. Don’t neglect your dental check-ups — regular visits now save you bigger expenses in the future.

Whether you’re after a quick clean or a thorough dental check, these seven clinics offer excellent value in 2026, helping you keep your smile bright without burning a hole in your wallet.
