How much does root canal treatment cost in Singapore? Are there any subsidies for root canal treatment?

Doctor's Answers 1

Thank you for your question.

There are government subsidies for root canal treatment procedures in the following institutions: National Dental Centre, National University Hospital and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

The cost would vary depending on the tooth that requires root canal treatment.

For incisors and canines, it would be around $300. For premolars it would be around $500. And for molars it would be around $800.

After root canal treatment, a crown would be generally be needed, especially for premolars and molars to protect the tooth. The subsidized cost for crowns for premolars are around $500 whereas for molars it would be around $700 (lab fees included).

Hope this helps!

How do I know whether I am suitable for root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment has been proven to have a very high success rate. Sometimes, it is the only way to save the tooth if the nerve is affected. It is always more natural and comfortable to bite and chew with your own tooth, which is why it's a popular treatment. This is compared to extracting and replacing it with other options, such as bridges, implants or dentures.

Who are some recommended endodontists in Singapore for root canal treatment?

I usually refer to TwinCity Clinic in Ngee Ann City, Orchard. Usually Dr Kimmy sees my cases and I’ve met Dr Richard Ang at conferences – really nice guy. Feedback from my patients has been great and they’ve never had difficulty in getting an appointment. You can consider seeing a general dentist too as they’ll be able help ease your pain until you can get an appointment with a specialist 🙂 Hope your toothache settles down!
