Cheap doesn't mean bad, and expensive doesn't mean good. Ask what the quote includes, who will treat you and which materials will be used; if unsure, get a second opinion.
How one private dental group itemises a quote, as a worked example:
※ Content is based on public information and editorial research, with sources cited. Links to healthcare providers are further reading, not rankings or endorsements. Please seek professional advice for your own situation.
Dental General Public Sessions, the Community Dental Support Programme, Elderly Health Care Vouchers, school and teen schemes: who qualifies and what each pays for.
See subsidy schemes →What the price gap covers and what it doesn't: implants, vouchers, follow-up care and complaints.
Read the series →Every price is sourced and dated, so they can compare before they book.
Mostly because quotes use different units and include different things: per tooth or per surface, with or without the crown, a clinic or a private hospital. Line up the unit and what is included before comparing.
A routine composite filling at a general clinic is typically HK$600–1,500. Specialists, complex cases (deep decay, several surfaces) or private hospitals cost more; private hospitals list HK$2,500–15,000. Cheap doesn't mean bad and expensive doesn't mean good, so ask what the quote includes.
No. The Department of Health's General Public Sessions only provide pain relief and extractions (one tooth per visit). They are free for eligible people and HK$850 for non-eligible people from 1 January 2026.
Hong Kong ID holders registered with eHealth who currently receive the Old Age Living Allowance, a Community Care Service Voucher, certain home-care services, or an HA medical fee waiver. From 2026 it also covers scaling, root canal treatment and removable dentures. See our subsidies page for details.
Yes, if you are 65 or over and the dentist is enrolled in the scheme. Each eligible person gets HK$2,000 a year, and the balance can build up to HK$8,000.
List prices are usually lower, but implants need 3–6 months to heal, so several trips are normal. Follow-up care, records and complaints also work differently. Weigh the whole course, not just the headline price.
Yes. The Dental Council's code says clinics must tell patients they can ask for a quotation before treatment, and dentists should give one if substantial fees will be incurred.
We only use prices a provider or public body has published. Private ranges are the lowest and highest figures across the published lists below, so your quote may fall outside them. We checked the websites of Tung Wah, Yan Chai, Pok Oi, Caritas, the FTU clinics and the Hong Kong Tuberculosis, Chest and Heart Diseases Association: none published an itemised dental price list, so NGO self-paid prices are marked "ask directly". Shenzhen figures are in RMB, from official notices, Hong Kong media reports and one private Shenzhen dental hospital's published list prices, and may have changed since.
This site also checked two private clinics' published price lists in Sep 2026 (not named or linked, to stay neutral); market reference only.
