Alvin Koh​

Anyone has bad experience with Smile Central Dental ? Brought my wife to Hougang Mall Outlet and it was a disaster. Quoted $800 for deep cleaning , $120 for each tooth extraction and $100 for filling. Dr Felicia Lee also insisted that my wife's upp tooth got urgent situation and need a minor surgery at $650 claimable by Medisave. Double / Triple Confirmed that fees quoted was all in and assured by Dr Felicia. When paying end up all the fees not quoted +GST and minor surgery GST not claimable by Medisave. Was discussing with Dr Felicia and she suddenly flared up and instructed her assistant to charge me $1250 by medisave instead. Can meh? End up police was called in and owner Dr Benny Lim instead of being apologetic and solve this issue, threatened me with further legal actions for refusing to pay the GST when I was not clearly informed. Breakdown of bill for the $650 also can't explain why $100 for 4 packs of medication and $100 for misc ? Dr Felicia also threatened to call police end up nv call aft 10 mins and I called instead. But she ran away frm back door before police arrive. Can ah like that ?

This type u need to be an activist like Iris Koh. Make effort, energy and time even money to overturn govt ruling. Posting in a forum will do no shit about it.

Considering the awful condition of her teeth, I believe that the charges are actually pretty reasonable for a private dentist. The fees may not be that much less at NUCOHS (National University Centre for Oral Health Singapore).

Our leaders will take a whole chicken from us, and toss back the skin and bones to show how much they care for their citizens.

Actually he ownself also posted the clinic fees charges tables.
The misc could be the xray admin fee as stated. The Medicine $100 maybe due to the high amount of tablets and many medicine.
The total amount look like normal for a pte clinic (when we compared with the stated fees chargeable)

If Alvin is so price conscious, he should have booked an appt for his wife at one of the polyclinic dental centres. I guess she must have been in pain so he couldn't wait 6 months for an opening at the polyclinic. So why is Alvin complaining now? If it is fast and good, it cannot be cheap.

The unvax still go to dentist? Not worry that the dentistry tools that they repeatedly use for multiple clients having mRNA blood?

He not happy that after double triple confirmed the $650 can claim medisave and is a nett fee, he was charged gst. For this we have to blame himself stupid for thinking why other things got gst whereas this don't have. Also he cannot prove it unless got voice recording.

Was discussing with Dr Felicia and she suddenly flared up and instructed her assistant to charge me $1250 by medisave instead. Can meh?

For this also need to see if the asst really got charge him else no proof.
Also doctor where got time to deal with all these shit to wait for police of course she will leave .
LOL endup he has no case.

[mojito]

Go to a proper dental clinic in the downtown area.

Hint: if they are a 'franchise' with many outlets, stay away.

some private dental offices use upsell techniques to extract (no pun intended) more money from unsuspecting walk-in patients. patients also clueless, goondu, and comply with every suggestion offered by dentist. don’t have to do everything dentist suggest all at once in 1 visit. for example, if tooth sextraction is most urgent due to nagging pain, do that first, and defer or postpone all other procedures to a later date with a pubic dental clinic. in my decades seeing my dentist, i’ve never cum across any dentist or patient going thru’ all that dental work in one go within the same day, no matter how bad the dental condition is.

tooth sextraction. usually done immediately to alleviate pain. and if a replacement tooth is required for cosmetic reasons, it will usually require 2 weeks to craft a fake tooth or crown moulding for reinsertion.

deep cleaning is usually done in 2 halves. left side numb for 1 day so right side can chew and eat. after a week right side is due for deep cleaning and left side is used for chewing.

if surgery is required for horizontally impacted wisdom tooth or horribly decayed teeth, this will require a separate appointment with a dental surgeon. procedure will be performed in hours with numbness and bleeding in mouth for at least a week.

minor tooth decay. can wait for another week if x-ray indicates decay has not created a deep cavity that rots the tooth from the inside. just scraping and patch.

sumting wong and not proper nor professional when all above procedures are done on 1 visit.
