Yan Chai Hospital Dental: 2026 Fees, Booking & Subsidies

Yan Chai Hospital runs 11 dental service points offering check-ups, scaling, fillings, extractions and dentures. It publishes no fee list, so you phone the clinic. Eligible people can get subsidised care through the Community Dental Support Programme. Checked 2026-10-02.

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 Yan Chai Hospital itself publishes and what the government scheme rules say: how many clinics there are, what they do and do not do, how to book, how to find out the fees, who qualifies for subsidies and where to complain. You can then judge whether it suits you. To compare it with other low-cost options, see our guide to affordable dental care in Hong Kong.

What is Yan Chai Hospital's dental service?

Yan Chai Hospital lists dental services under its medical services. Its first dental clinic opened at the hospital in 1988 and the service later spread to other districts; the hospital says it serves people on CSSA, older people and others on low incomes [1]. These are charity-run clinics that set their own fees. They are separate from the Department of Health's government dental clinics.

The clinics below are listed on Yan Chai Hospital's website. The listed opening hours are Monday to Saturday, 9am–1pm and 2pm–6pm; the clinics close on Sundays and public holidays [1].

What they do and don't do

The Kwun Tong clinic page lists oral examinations, fillings, scaling, crowns, bridges, extractions, oral surgery, dentures, root canal treatment, whitening and implants, and accepts cash and Visa/Mastercard [2]. The main page also says the Integrated Medical Centre "has added implant services" [1], so if you want an implant, ask whether the clinic you choose provides it.

Points to note:

No evening, Sunday or holiday sessions. For toothache at night or on a holiday you need another route; see "When to see a dentist urgently" below.
Orthodontics is not listed. For braces, read how to choose an orthodontist and check the orthodontics specialist register.
No published fee list. You have to ask each clinic.

How do I find out the fees?

As of 2 October 2026, Yan Chai Hospital's dental pages do not publish self-pay fees; they give each clinic's phone number [1]. "Yan Chai dental price lists" circulating online are not official and may be out of date. The reliable way is to phone the clinic you want and ask the same set of questions:

How are the check-up and X-rays charged?
How much is scaling, and how is deep cleaning for gum disease charged?
Are fillings priced per tooth or per surface?
Roughly how much are extractions, root canal treatment and dentures, and are follow-up visits included?
Do I qualify for a subsidy scheme, and when is the earliest appointment?

The Consumer Council advises people to use registered dentists, ask about the procedure and the total cost beforehand, including whether X-rays and medicines are charged separately, and keep receipts and treatment records [12]. For help reading a quote, see how to read a dental quote.

Subsidies: who can use them?

Community Dental Support Programme

Yan Chai Hospital says the Department of Health's Community Dental Support Programme launched on 26 May 2025 and that 10 of its dental clinics (all except Kwun Tong) are service units [1]. Applicants must hold a valid Hong Kong identity card or Certificate of Exemption, be registered with eHealth, and currently receive one of the listed benefits, such as the Old Age Living Allowance, Community Care Service Vouchers for the Elderly, home care services or a Hospital Authority medical fee waiver; homeless people referred by an NGO social worker also qualify [4]. From January 2026 the programme added scaling, root canal treatment, removal of bridges and crowns, and removable dentures [6].

Booking: eligible people can choose a participating NGO clinic and phone it directly, or ask a registered social worker to arrange it [5]. The programme FAQ also confirms that Elderly Health Care Vouchers can pay the co-payment [5]. Whether vouchers are accepted for self-pay treatment outside the programme is a question for the clinic.

Community Care Fund elderly dental programme (closed)

Yan Chai Hospital's page still mentions its part in the Community Care Fund Elderly Dental Assistance Programme [1]. That programme stopped taking applications on 1 January 2026 and was replaced by the expanded Community Dental Support Programme [6]. For details, see our 2026 guide to elderly dental subsidies.

Primary Dental Co-care Pilot Scheme for Adolescents

Nine Yan Chai dental clinics (all except So Kai Sing and Kwun Tong) take part [1]. The scheme started on 20 March 2025 for teenagers aged 13 to 17 (or turning 13 in the year they apply) who hold a Hong Kong identity card and are registered with eHealth. It covers check-ups, an oral health risk assessment, scaling, fluoride and personalised self-care advice [7].

CSSA and outreach

The Kwun Tong clinic page states that Yan Chai is a dental service provider recognised under the Social Welfare Department's CSSA scheme [2]. In 2011 Yan Chai also joined the Department of Health's Outreach Dental Care Programme for the Elderly at the department's invitation; enquiries on 2452 9599 [3]. All schemes are listed on our dental subsidies page.

How long is the wait?

Neither Yan Chai Hospital nor the Community Dental Support Programme publishes waiting times [1][5]. It varies by clinic, so ask on the phone: "When is the earliest self-pay appointment, and the earliest subsidised one?" If several clinics are near you, ask each and pick one that is easy to return to for follow-ups.

Is it a good fit? It depends who you are

Wherever you go, you can check a dentist's registration and specialist status on the Dental Council register [10]; the steps are in how to verify a dentist in Hong Kong.

How to complain

Raise it with the clinic first. Keep receipts, quotes and treatment records, and call the clinic.
Subsidy questions (eligibility, co-payments): contact the Community Dental Support Programme [4].
A dentist's professional conduct: the Dental Council handles complaints of professional misconduct against registered dentists and publishes a complaint pamphlet [11].
Consumer disputes: complain to the Consumer Council [12].

When to see a dentist urgently

Go to A&E 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 [13]. Yan Chai's dental clinics close on Sundays and public holidays and have no evening sessions. For daytime pain relief or an extraction, the Department of Health's 11 government dental clinics run general public sessions: an online ballot from 6am to 11:30am, or staff-assisted registration at the clinic from 8:30am to 11:30am, with half the places reserved for people aged 65 or over [8]. For triage, see what to do about toothache.

FAQ

Is Yan Chai Hospital's dental clinic any good?

There is no official rating. What you can check: 11 service points, open Monday to Saturday, general dentistry and dentures, and 10 clinics in the Community Dental Support Programme. It suits people eligible for subsidies and teenagers; it does not suit night or holiday emergencies.

Does Yan Chai dental publish a fee list?

As of 2 October 2026 its website has no self-pay fee list, so phone the clinic. Subsidy co-payments are published officially; for example, a Category B filling under the Community Dental Support Programme is $50 per tooth.

How do I book, and how long is the wait?

Phone the clinic directly; under the Community Dental Support Programme a registered social worker can also arrange it. Waiting times are not published, so ask when you call.

Can I use Elderly Health Care Vouchers at Yan Chai?

Vouchers can pay Community Dental Support Programme co-payments. For self-pay treatment outside the programme, ask the clinic.

Does Yan Chai do implants or braces?

The website says the Integrated Medical Centre has added implants, and the Kwun Tong service list includes implants; braces are not listed. Phone the clinic to check whether it offers the treatment you want and how it is charged.
