These are curated, indicative market ranges—not guaranteed clinic quotes. Units are kept separate so deposits and per-visit fees are not compared with full treatment courses. Currency conversions use today's exchange rate of 1 SGD = 3.17 MYR. Confirm what is included directly with the clinic before treatment.
Why such a big difference?
Currency Conversion
JB quotes are issued in Malaysian ringgit, so the converted Singapore-dollar cost changes with the exchange rate. Compare both currencies on the same day.
Different Market Costs
Clinic fees reflect local operating costs, practitioner fees, materials, equipment and case complexity. Lower price alone does not establish equivalent inclusions or care.
Like-for-Like Quotes
A useful comparison specifies the treatment unit and whether consultations, imaging, laboratory work, medication, retainers, grafting and follow-up are included.
