Looking for clear, realistic dental prices Quezon City residents and visitors can actually rely on? Quezon City has hundreds of clinics—from small neighborhood practices and university dental schools to modern mall-based centers in Cubao, Trinoma, Eastwood, and Diliman. Prices are not fixed. They change depending on the clinic’s location, the dentist’s experience, the materials used, and how complicated your case is.
Dental Prices in Quezon City
All prices below are in Philippine pesos (₱) and represent what most patients actually pay at private clinics. Government or dental-school clinics are usually cheaper. Premium clinics in high-rent areas (Eastwood, Vertis North, Tomas Morato) sit at the higher end.
1. Consultation / Check-up
Price range: ₱300 – ₱2,000
- Budget neighborhood clinics: ₱300 – ₱500
- Mid-range mall or standard clinics: ₱500 – ₱1,000
- Premium or specialist clinics: ₱1,200 – ₱2,000
Many clinics waive the consultation fee if you proceed with treatment on the same day. The fee usually covers a visual examination, basic discussion of your concerns, and a treatment plan. X-rays are almost always extra (₱400 – ₱1,500 depending on type).
2. Teeth Cleaning (Oral Prophylaxis / Scaling and Polishing)
Price range: ₱500 – ₱2,500
- Light cleaning (little tartar): ₱500 – ₱1,000
- Standard cleaning (average build-up): ₱1,000 – ₱1,800
- Deep cleaning or heavy tartar / early gum disease: ₱1,800 – ₱2,500+
What affects the price:
- How much tartar and stains you have
- Whether the dentist uses ultrasonic scaler only or also hand instruments
- If fluoride treatment or polishing paste is included
Some clinics offer “promo” cleaning packages around ₱800 – ₱1,200 that include basic examination.
3. Dental Fillings (Tooth-Colored Composite)
Price range: ₱800 – ₱4,000 per tooth
- Small filling (one surface): ₱800 – ₱1,500
- Medium filling (two surfaces): ₱1,500 – ₱2,500
- Large filling (three or more surfaces or build-up): ₱2,500 – ₱4,000
Silver (amalgam) fillings are cheaper (around ₱800 – ₱1,500) but less commonly requested nowadays because composite matches tooth color better. The final price depends on the size of the cavity and how much tooth structure needs rebuilding.
4. Tooth Extraction
Simple extraction: ₱500 – ₱3,000 Surgical or wisdom tooth extraction: ₱5,000 – ₱25,000
Simple extraction (tooth is fully visible and easy to remove):
- Budget clinics: ₱500 – ₱1,200
- Average clinics: ₱1,200 – ₱2,500
- Premium clinics: ₱2,500 – ₱3,000
Surgical / impacted wisdom tooth:
- Fully erupted wisdom tooth: ₱3,000 – ₱8,000
- Partially or fully impacted (needs cutting of gum or bone): ₱8,000 – ₱18,000
- Very difficult cases (horizontal impaction, close to nerve): ₱18,000 – ₱25,000+
X-ray is required before extraction. Some clinics include simple local anesthesia in the price; others charge extra for sedation if needed.
5. Root Canal Treatment
Price range: ₱6,000 – ₱20,000+ per tooth
- Front tooth (1 canal): ₱6,000 – ₱12,000
- Premolar (1–2 canals): ₱10,000 – ₱16,000
- Molar (3–4 canals): ₱14,000 – ₱20,000 or higher
The price usually covers cleaning the canals, medication, and temporary filling. A permanent crown is almost always needed afterward and is charged separately. Complicated cases with infection or curved canals cost more and may require a specialist (endodontist).
6. Dental Crown (Cap)
Price range: ₱8,000 – ₱25,000 per tooth
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM): ₱8,000 – ₱15,000
- Full zirconia or high-quality ceramic: ₱15,000 – ₱25,000
Price depends on the material brand, laboratory quality, and whether the crown is made in the Philippines or abroad. Same-day CAD/CAM crowns (available in some modern clinics) may cost a bit more but save you a second visit.
7. Braces (Orthodontic Treatment)
Metal braces (full treatment): ₱30,000 – ₱80,000 Ceramic braces: ₱50,000 – ₱120,000
These are total treatment costs spread over 18–36 months. Most clinics require a down payment (₱10,000 – ₱25,000) plus monthly adjustment fees (₱1,500 – ₱3,500). Clear aligners (Invisalign-type) start higher, often ₱80,000 – ₱200,000+ depending on complexity.
8. Professional Teeth Whitening
In-office whitening: ₱5,000 – ₱20,000
- Basic in-office session: ₱5,000 – ₱10,000
- Premium systems with stronger gel or longer sessions: ₱12,000 – ₱20,000
Home whitening kits prescribed by the clinic are cheaper (₱3,000 – ₱8,000) but take longer to show results.
9. Dental Implant (Single Tooth)
Price range: ₱50,000 – ₱150,000
This usually includes:
- Implant post (titanium or zirconia)
- Abutment
- Crown on top
Korean or local implant brands are on the lower end (₱50,000 – ₱80,000). Premium Swiss or German brands (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) reach ₱100,000 – ₱150,000. Bone grafting, if needed, adds ₱15,000 – ₱40,000.
10. Dentures
Complete set (upper + lower): ₱15,000 – ₱60,000 Partial denture: ₱8,000 – ₱25,000
Acrylic dentures are the most affordable. Flexible or metal-framework partial dentures cost more but feel more comfortable and last longer.
