Super friendly and nice

I did like the clinic and the doctor. The assistant is super friendly and nice. However, I felt that the prices are a bit on the high side and that the way it was charged is very confusing.I paid the following for 2 root canal treatments (doesn't include crown): - Root canal Treatment: SGD 1'100 per tooth. - Post/Core or Pin Core: SGD 200 per tooth. - Orthodontic Treatment: SGD 100 per tooth. - Re-clean canals after 2 yrs: SGD 100 per tooth. -That makes a total of SGD 3'000 for two tooth. The total treatment did probably not exceed 4 hours. With regards to the payment, after the first initial session I was asked to pay SGD 800 per tooth and I thought that was it e.g. the whole cost of the treatment. However, on subsequent visits I was asked to pay again between SGD 200-400. Even I thought it was expensive, I continued to pay. The real shock came after the last treatment of a few minutes when I was asked to pay the balance of SGD 1'000 (for both tooth). If I knew from the beginning the total cost for the treatment I would have gone somewhere else. Since it was a referral and an HDB based dentist I didn't think it was that expensive. Unless you have too much money, I suggest you check with other dentists.
