Overview

Our Subsidised Basic Dental Services

We have a dedicated team of dental surgeons, oral health therapists and dental assistants to provide a full range of basic dental services, such as:

  • Examination and diagnosis
  • Scaling & Polishing
  • Restorative dentistry (Fillings)
  • Extraction of teeth under local anaesthesia
  • Preventive dentistry and oral health education

A consultation is required to ensure a correct diagnosis for safe and appropriate dental care. For this, consultation fees will apply for your dental visit. This includes a patient’s first visit, where a full mouth assessment, dental charting, and any necessary investigations are carried out to establish a diagnosis and treatmen​t p​lan. A consultation is also required at a subsequent visit after completion of a preexisting treatment plan, or one year later (whichever comes earlier), to reassess the patient’s oral health condition and update the dental chart on any new needs.
