Hi Doctor, I’ve been noticing some plaque buildup and my gums feel a bit irritated. I haven’t had a professional clean in over a year, so I’d like to get scaling and polishing done to prevent gum disease and maintain good oral health. I’m considering going to Ashford Dental Centre Thomson for the treatment. What would be the expected cost and any subsidies or payment options available?
At Ashford Dental Centre in Singapore, a standard scaling and polishing procedure typically costs $100 to $180, depending on the complexity and the number of teeth involved. This treatment is designed to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains, helping prevent gum disease and maintain overall oral health. For patients like you who haven’t had a professional cleaning in over a year, this is a recommended preventive step to reduce gum inflammation and the risk of cavities or periodontal issues.
Ashford Dental Centre accepts various payment options, including cash, major credit cards and some dental insurance plans. While Singapore doesn’t generally offer government subsidies for routine scaling for adults, certain workplace or private health insurance plans may cover part of the cost.
