Extract already means cannot save already.
Dental implant is not cheap.

Lucky the dentist was honest. He said I will be wasting my money.
The second dentist (female) said besides the expensive costs, there is also the pain to consider too.

Because my pay was low and I tried to save money here and there..it was my fellow fast food restaurant colleagues who shared with me that was a way to save money. Since then I have been traveling to JB for dental treatment.
Last week one of my filling broke. It was done by my Malaysian dentist she charged me RM$120 for the filling of my molar ... I am not sure but I recall she also took an x ray before she did the filling. It lasted very long but now has to be re-done.
Unfortunately, I applied for my passport 5 weeks ago but until today it is under processing by ICA.
Not knowing how long it will take to get the new passport. I went to nearby dentist and took $100 with me.
The dentist ordered any xray then proceed to do the filling....same filling I had done in Malaysia for RM$120.
After the treatment I waited for the dental clinic nurse to prepare the bill. When she called my name I gave her the $100 I brought along with me.
She looked at me...and waited. I also waited for my change.
There was no change. The total for the filling x ray and consultation was $240....took 30mins in total for the session
I am.not here to complain...but I just want to ask if these charges look okay.
Yes I understand it is expensive to get treatment in Singapore that is why I went to Malaysia to seek treatment when I was earning a low income working at fast food restaurant. But it really looks a bit on the high side.

I am not naming the dentist as quite a few here said charges look okay and normal for private dentist in Singapore.

This kind is normally for cleaning and polishing only, not for urgent cases. If got urgent case you can tell them and you may get the booking within a month.
