5 Best Dental Clinics in Singapore (2026) — Prices, Medisave & CHAS Compared (Q&M, TP Dental, Novena Dental, Orchard Scotts, Specialist Dental Group)

Singapore's largest private dental network — its own site now states more than 100 clinics island-wide, covering virtually every HDB town and major mall. Accepts most major insurance plans, Medisave for eligible surgical procedures, and CHAS cards. Unusually for Singapore dentistry, Q&M publishes some prices outright: scaling and polishing bundled with an intra-oral 3D scan at S$109, kids' scaling and polishing at S$88 nett, and take-home teeth whitening at S$388 (promotional rates — confirm current pricing when you book). The strength is convenience: you'll find a Q&M within walking distance of most addresses. The trade-off is dentist rotation — you may not see the same dentist on return visits unless you book specifically. Best for: routine care, families on a budget, anyone who values 'appointment within the week' over senior-specialist continuity.

Heritage practice that opened in 1973 as Drs Tay, Chin & Partners, became Drs Tay & Partners in 1976, and was privatised as TP Dental Surgeons Pte Ltd in 2005 — one of the deepest specialist rosters in Singapore, with orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists and oral surgeons on the same team, and around 29 dentists in a single establishment. It sits at The Penthouse, 391B Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City Tower B #26-01, and opens 363 days a year — genuinely useful if you need care over a long weekend or public holiday. Services span implants, orthodontics (braces and Invisalign), root canal, crowns and bridges, gum treatment and paediatric dentistry. Fees are not published online; TP quotes after consultation, and sits mid-to-upper on price. Best for: complex orthodontic and prosthodontic cases, professionals who want a senior specialist team without going premium-tier, anyone needing multi-disciplinary care under one roof.

Mid-tier practice trading as Novena Dental Aesthetic Practice, at 10 Sinaran Drive #09-34, Novena Medical Centre (Square2), Singapore 307506. Strong general dentistry — check-ups, scaling and polishing, fillings, extractions, dentures — with aesthetic add-ons (veneers, bonding, whitening) and the heavier work handled in-house too: Invisalign and braces, root canal, wisdom tooth surgery, implant surgery, crowns and bridges. Opening hours are Mon–Fri 9am–6pm and Sat 9am–3pm. Fees are not published online and are quoted at consultation; positioning sits between the mass-market chains and the Orchard premium tier. Best for: working professionals near Novena/Newton, mid-budget families, anyone wanting cosmetic dentistry without going to Orchard Scotts pricing.

Premium, aesthetic-led practice, open since 2007 and now at 541 Orchard Road, Liat Towers #07-01/02, Singapore 238881 (Mon–Fri 9am–6pm, Sat 9am–1pm). The focus is cosmetic and reconstructive rather than neighbourhood dentistry: its signature SmileUp™ porcelain veneer treatment, dental implants, Invisalign (the clinic is an Invisalign Black Diamond provider), gum recontouring, same-day crowns, teeth whitening and sleep apnoea treatment, backed by an in-house ceramic lab and a team of eight dentists. The real differentiator is comfort for nervous patients: mindful techniques and gentle communication, custom-padded chairs, Tempur neck pillows and headphones with entertainment. Fees are not published — treatment is quoted after consultation, and flexi-payment plans are offered. Best for: veneers and smile makeovers, complex implant and full-mouth reconstruction cases, dental-anxious patients, and expats covered under high-tier insurance.

An established specialist group practice on two hospital campuses — 3 Mount Elizabeth #08-03/04/10, Singapore 228510 (tel 6734 9393) and 6 Napier Road #07-17 at Gleneagles, Singapore 258499 (tel 6471 5150), open Mon–Fri 9am–5.30pm and Sat 9am–1pm, with same-day slots kept for emergencies. STRENGTHS: registered specialists across five disciplines — prosthodontics (teeth replacement and cosmetic work), periodontics, endodontics, orthodontics (braces and aligners) and oral & maxillofacial surgery — plus children's, emergency and preventive dentistry. That breadth is what you want when a case is beyond a general dentist. PRICING: one of the few Singapore practices to publish a fee guide — consultation and examination from S$80, a full-mouth x-ray at S$160, and adult scaling and polishing at S$250–320. Implants, full orthodontic treatment and cosmetic work are quoted per case after consultation. BEST FOR: complex restorations, implants, adult orthodontics, smile makeovers, and patients who specifically want a specialist rather than a general clinic. WHAT TO CHECK: get a written treatment plan and quote at consultation, and confirm which procedures are Medisave-claimable.
