This is why prices are hard to compare between clinics. A low price for cleaning alone can end up costing more once the consultation and X-rays are added.
The Ministry of Health publishes fee benchmarks for common dental procedures at CHAS clinics. Since 1 October 2025, CHAS clinics must display these benchmarks next to their price lists, so patients can compare fees.
Procedure | MOH fee benchmark |
|---|---|
Scaling | $35 to $60 |
Polishing | $26 to $38 |
Benchmarks are a reference, not a fixed price. Clinics can charge outside the range for complex cases. Source: Ministry of Health.
