In Singapore, a dental crown typically costs about S$750 to S$3,500 per tooth in 2026. MOH's CHAS fee benchmark for a permanent crown at private clinics is S$750 to S$1,400 before GST, public institutions charge S$804 to S$1,491, and specialist prosthodontists charge more. Material, the dentist's specialty and lab work drive the price.
All figures were checked on 3 October 2026. MOH's dental fees exclude GST and usually exclude consultation, X-rays and any root canal treatment the tooth needs first.

Why do crown prices vary so much?
The material, who makes and fits the crown, and the work needed on the tooth beforehand explain most of the gap. A prosthodontist (a specialist in crowns and bridges) usually charges more than a general dentist.
- Material. Nuffield Dental prices porcelain-fused-to-metal from S$1,035.50 and zirconia from S$1,417.
- Specialist or general dentist. Denticare charges from S$1,526 for a prosthodontist's crown, against S$872 for its lowest general crown.
- Preparation. A tooth may need a root canal first. Under the CHAS benchmark, molar root canal treatment is S$872 to S$1,400 before GST.
- GST. Some clinics quote before GST, some after. Compare like with like.
Can I use MediSave for a dental crown?
Ordinary MediSave does not cover crowns because they are not a surgical procedure, as Specialist Dental Group notes. From 2026, Singaporeans and PRs aged 60 and above can use Flexi-MediSave of up to S$400 a year for permanent crowns and root canal treatment.
According to Royce Dental Group's July 2026 guide to the scheme, Flexi-MediSave can be used at CHAS-accredited and Flexi-MediSave-accredited dental clinics and public healthcare institutions, and can be combined with CHAS for eligible procedures. It does not cover cosmetic work. Check your clinic's accreditation before treatment.
Is a crown cheaper at a public hospital?
Not always. MOH lists public institution fees from S$804 to S$1,491 before GST, which overlaps with private general clinics. Specialist private practices cost more.
