United Christian Nethersole (UCN) Dental Clinics Hong Kong: 2026 Fees, Hours, Booking and Subsidies

United Christian Nethersole Community Health Service (UCN) runs five dental clinics, in Wo Lok Estate (Kwun Tong), Kwong Tin Estate (Lam Tin), Sau Mau Ping, Fu Heng Estate (Tai Po) and Tin Ching Estate (Tin Shui Wai). No fee list is published online, so phone the clinic. Checked 2026-11-11.

There is no official score for whether a dental service is "good", and we do not rate or rank clinics. This guide sets out what can be checked on the UCN website, Department of Health pages and other public sources: where the five clinics are, when they open, what treatment they list, how to book, how to find out the fees, who can use the Community Dental Support Programme and the adolescent scheme, and where to complain. You can then judge whether it suits you. To compare UCN with Caritas, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, St. James' Settlement and other low-cost options, see our guide to affordable dental care in Hong Kong.

What is UCN dental care?

UCN was founded in 1972 and is affiliated with the United Christian Medical Service; its website footer gives a charity tax-exemption file number [1]. Dental care is one of its preventive medicine and clinical services, led by registered dentists [2].

Keep the categories apart: UCN's clinics are community clinics run by a charity. They are not the Department of Health's government dental clinics, and they are not hospital dental units, which mainly treat in-patients and people with special medical needs; see our guide to hospital dental services.

The five clinics, phone numbers and hours

The names, addresses, phone numbers and hours below come from UCN's service network page [3]. Each dental clinic sits inside a UCN community health centre.

Points to note:

• Weekday evenings: Kwong Tin, Sau Mau Ping and Fu Heng stay open until 7pm or 8pm on several weekdays, and Tin Shui Wai until 7pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wo Lok opens Monday to Friday and closes at 5:30pm.
• Saturdays: every clinic except Wo Lok opens on Saturday until 5pm.
• Sundays and holidays: the website states that Kwong Tin closes on Sundays and public holidays. The other timetables show no Sunday or holiday sessions, so phone before going.
• These are the health centres' opening hours. Dental sessions may be shorter, so ask when you book.

For other public and non-profit options nearby, see dental care in Kwun Tong, Tai Po or Yuen Long.

What do they offer, and what is not stated?

The UCN dental page lists these services [4]:

• Basic dental care: scaling, fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, crowns, bridges and dentures.
• Cosmetic work: porcelain veneers, all-ceramic crowns and tooth whitening.
• Orthodontic treatment (braces) and implants.

The website does not say which clinic offers which service, and it says nothing about arrangements for children or people with special needs. If you want braces, implants or crowns, phone the clinic you plan to use, ask whether it offers the treatment and which dentist provides it, and ask for a written quotation. You can check a dentist's registration and any specialist title on the Dental Council register [11].

How to find out the fees

Neither the UCN dental page nor its service network page shows dental fees [2][3], so we do not reproduce any prices. Figures circulating on other websites are not published by UCN and may be out of date. Phone the clinic you want to use and ask every clinic the same questions:

1. How much are the examination and X-rays?
2. How much is scaling, and how is deep cleaning for gum disease charged?
3. Are fillings charged per tooth or per surface?
4. Roughly how much are extractions, root canal treatment, crowns and dentures, and are follow-up visits included?
5. Does this clinic take part in the Community Dental Support Programme, am I eligible, and when is the next appointment?

The Consumer Council advises people to use registered dentists, to ask about treatment steps and costs once they have chosen a dentist, including whether consultation, X-ray and medicine fees are charged separately, and to keep every receipt and treatment record [12]. For how to read a quotation, see how to read a dental quote. For private-sector benchmarks, see scaling and gum treatment costs and root canal costs.

Fee reference: published figures

This table shows published figures, nothing else. Private-clinic ranges are not repeated here; every cell is sourced on our Hong Kong dental fees page.

Subsidies: who can use them?

Community Dental Support Programme

UCN's dental pages list the Department of Health's Community Dental Support Programme and state an administration fee of $50 for each "filling or extraction quota", fully paid by the government for some groups, such as Old Age Living Allowance recipients aged 75 or over and people with a full HA medical fee waiver [5]. The main points from the Department of Health's programme page [7]:

• Eligibility: a valid Hong Kong identity card or Certificate of Exemption, registration with eHealth, and current receipt of the Old Age Living Allowance, a Level 2 Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly, specified home care or home support services, or an HA medical fee waiver; homeless people referred by social workers of specified services also qualify.
• How often: every 180 days, an examination, X-rays and up to three filling or extraction quotas; every 365 days, scaling and root canal treatment for one tooth; removable dentures need fewer than 20 remaining teeth and a dentist's assessment.
• How to join: choose a participating NGO dental clinic and contact it, or arrange it through a registered social worker.
• Vouchers: older people can use Elderly Health Care Vouchers to pay the programme's fees.

The programme leaflet says to bring the completed application form, your identity card and the original supporting documents listed on the form to the clinic [8]. UCN does not say which of its five clinics take part. The Department of Health has a participating-clinic search page [13]; check it, or phone the clinic, before you go. For the wider picture of support for older people, see elderly dental subsidies in 2026 and our subsidies overview.

Pilot Scheme for Adolescents

UCN's dental pages also list this scheme. It is for young people aged 13 to 17: the government pays $200 a year towards a check-up, and the user pays the co-payment the dentist set when joining. The aim is to build a habit of regular check-ups [6]. The co-payment amount is not published, so ask the clinic.

CSSA and the Community Care Fund

UCN states that its dental clinics are designated clinics under the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme, offering quotations and treatment to qualified CSSA recipients [2]; the Chinese page also names them as Community Care Fund designated clinics [4]. Confirm the details of a CSSA dental grant with your social worker. UCN does not say which Community Care Fund programme this refers to, so ask the clinic.

How to book, and how long is the wait?

UCN's online booking page covers health checks, Chinese medicine, nutrition, emotional wellness counselling and physiotherapy, but not dental care [14], so book dental appointments by phoning one of the five clinics above. UCN does not publish waiting times; ask for the next available slot. If you plan to use the Community Dental Support Programme, register with eHealth first and have proof of your allowance or service ready; going through a social worker takes longer.

Is it a good fit? It depends on your situation

Your situation	Does UCN dental fit?	What to check
Older person receiving the Old Age Living Allowance, registered with eHealth	Worth considering: UCN's dental page lists the Community Dental Support Programme	Ask whether your chosen clinic takes part, about quotas and the next date
Living or working in Kwun Tong, Lam Tin, Sau Mau Ping, Tai Po or Tin Shui Wai	Worth considering: all five are in public housing estates or community buildings	Other local options are on our district pages
Working full-time, free after 5pm	Worth considering Kwong Tin, Sau Mau Ping, Fu Heng or Tin Shui Wai evening sessions, or Saturday afternoons	Wo Lok has no evening or Saturday hours
Teenager aged 13 to 17	Worth considering: UCN lists the adolescent scheme	Ask about the co-payment
Want to know the price before deciding	One extra step: no fee list online	Ask each clinic the five questions above
Want braces or implants	Listed on the website, but not clinic by clinic	Ask who provides them, check the specialist register and get a written quote; for price benchmarks see implant costs
Toothache on a Sunday, holiday or late at night	Not a fit: no Sunday or holiday sessions are published	our toothache triage guide

Wherever you go, you can check a dentist's registration and specialist title on the Dental Council register [11]; the steps are in how to verify a dentist in Hong Kong.

How to complain

1. Start with the clinic: keep receipts, quotations and treatment records, and phone the clinic. UCN's head office number is 2717 1989 [15].
2. Community Dental Support Programme issues: for eligibility, quotas and co-payments, see the Department of Health's programme page [7].
3. Professional conduct: the Dental Council of Hong Kong handles complaints about unprofessional conduct by registered dentists [16].
4. Consumer disputes: you can complain to the Consumer Council [12].

When to see a dentist urgently

Go to an emergency department straight away if toothache comes with difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing, a swollen or painful eye or sudden problems with your eyesight, a lot of swelling in your mouth, or difficulty opening your mouth [17]. For daytime pain relief or an extraction, the Department of Health runs dental general public sessions at 11 clinics: register online from 6am to 11:30am the day before, places are drawn by ballot, and half are reserved for people aged 65 or over [9]. Near the UCN clinics are Kwun Tong Dental Clinic (Wednesday mornings), Tai Po Wong Siu Ching Dental Clinic (Thursday mornings) and Yuen Long Government Offices Dental Clinic (Tuesday and Friday mornings); there are no sessions in Tin Shui Wai [10]. For triage, see what to do about toothache.

FAQ

Is UCN dental care any good?

There is no official score. What can be checked: UCN has five dental clinics staffed by registered dentists, several open until 7pm or 8pm on weekdays, and four open until 5pm on Saturdays. Its dental pages list the Community Dental Support Programme and the adolescent scheme, and the clinics are CSSA designated clinics. It suits eligible people; it does not suit Sunday or holiday emergencies.

How much does UCN dental care cost? Is there a fee list?

UCN does not publish a dental fee list online, so we do not reproduce prices; phone the clinic. The Community Dental Support Programme does publish a figure: a $50 administration fee for each filling or extraction quota for Category B participants, waived for some groups.

How do I book at Tin Shui Wai or Sau Mau Ping?

Dental care is not on the online booking page, so phone: Tin Shui Wai (Tin Ching Estate) 3156 9088, Sau Mau Ping 2348 2209. The others: Wo Lok 2344 2603, Kwong Tin 2340 3694, Fu Heng 2664 6231.

Can older people use health care vouchers?

The Department of Health says older people can use Elderly Health Care Vouchers to pay Community Dental Support Programme fees. UCN's dental page does not say whether vouchers are accepted for self-paid treatment, so ask the clinic.

Is UCN dental the same as United Christian Hospital?

No. UCN is a community health service under the United Christian Medical Service, and its five dental clinics are inside community health centres; the addresses and phone numbers are in the table above.
