Worried about pain or being judged for skipping visits? Orchard's top-rated dentists are known for gentle, non-judgmental care — and many offer evening and Saturday slots.
What Does General Dentistry Cost in Orchard?
$50 – $200
A basic consultation with X-rays typically costs $50–$80, while composite fillings range from $100–$200 per tooth depending on size and complexity.
Orchard is a premium Central Singapore district — clinic overheads are higher than in HDB estates, so prices may sit toward the upper end of the national range.
CHAS Orange and Blue cardholders receive subsidies on selected basic dental services. Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation patients enjoy additional savings — always ask the clinic before your visit.
Scaling and polishing is typically priced per session (not per tooth), but fillings are charged per tooth — treating multiple teeth in one visit adds to the total cost.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic Consultation + Checkup | $50 – $80 |
| Scaling & Polishing | $80 – $150 |
| Composite Tooth Filling | $100 – $200 per tooth |

What Happens at a General Dentistry Appointment in Orchard?
- 1
Initial Consultation & Oral Examination
15–20 minutesYour dentist reviews your dental and medical history, then conducts a thorough visual examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues. They check for cavities, gum disease, bite issues, and early signs of oral cancer. Many Orchard clinics use intra-oral cameras so you can see exactly what the dentist sees — no more guessing.
- 2
Dental X-Rays (if required)
5–10 minutesBitewing or periapical X-rays are taken to detect decay between teeth, bone loss, or issues below the gum line not visible to the naked eye. Digital X-rays — common in Orchard clinics — emit significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays.
- 3
Scaling & Polishing (Professional Clean)
30–45 minutesHardened tartar (calculus) is removed from above and just below the gum line using an ultrasonic scaler. Teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and create a smooth surface that is harder for plaque to cling to. This is the step patients often find unexpectedly satisfying.
- 4
Treatment Planning & Fillings (if needed)
20–60 minutes depending on treatmentIf cavities or other issues are detected, your dentist will explain your options clearly — including tooth-coloured composite or silver amalgam fillings — and carry out straightforward restorations in the same visit where possible. Anxious patients can request numbing gel before any local anaesthetic injection.
- 5
Preventive Advice & Next Appointment
5–10 minutesYour dentist provides personalised brushing, flossing, and diet tips based on your specific oral health findings. They will also advise on fluoride treatments, fissure sealants for children, or any referrals needed. A follow-up schedule is agreed upon before you leave.
Is General Dentistry Right for You? (Spoiler: Almost Certainly Yes)
Good candidates
- Adults and children of any age who have not had a dental checkup in the past 6–12 months and want to get back on track without judgment
- Parents looking for a family-friendly clinic in Orchard that can see both adults and young children, including those with dental anxiety
- New residents or expats in the Orchard/Central area who need to establish care with a trusted regular dentist
- CHAS, Pioneer Generation, or Merdeka Generation cardholders wanting to use their subsidies at a conveniently located clinic
May need extra assessment
- Patients with severe dental phobia or a strong gag reflex may need an initial phone consultation to discuss sedation options before booking a standard appointment
- Children under 3 years old or those with complex special needs may benefit from a specialist paediatric dentistry clinic (like My Little Teeth in Orchard) rather than a general practice
- Patients with active gum disease (periodontitis) may require a referral to a periodontist for deep cleaning treatment before routine general dentistry can resume
