This fear keeps many people postponing visits, enduring pain, and ultimately risking their health.

The Hidden Cost of Dental Care In Singapore

People visit the dentist less often than recommended not only because of dental phobia, but also because of financial uncertainty. Implants, veneers, dentures, and even simple fillings can be costly. When orthodontics or full-mouth restoration is required, the total often becomes unmanageable on a single card. Patients end up taking loans, borrowing from family, or awkwardly asking others to help cover the cost. Traditional instalment plans feel more like stressful quests than solutions. That s where innovation changes the rules.

The Solution & the Story

My colleague s wife let s call her Mei Ling had long dreamed of getting veneers. In Singapore, composite veneers typically cost SGD 300 600 per tooth, while porcelain veneers range from SGD 1,100 to 2,500 per tooth. Final prices vary depending on the clinic, materials, and complexity of the case. On top of that, there are often consultation fees, X-rays, or extra procedures like extractions or digital smile design all of which add up quickly. The idea of paying 20,000 30,000 dollars upfront was overwhelming. Until her clinic introduced SuperCheckout.ai. The service turned out to be revolutionary. Its Stack\&Pay feature allows patients to split large bills into smaller portions, each paid in different ways. As the official site describes: Perfect for high-value purchases, group transactions, and customers who prefer multiple wallets.

For her veneers, Mei Ling paid part with her credit card, part with her husband s, and the rest with a rewards card. Each stack is processed separately, so every portion can use a different method no longer tied to a single card.

And if the budget is still short?

SuperCheckout offers «Pay on My Behalf »links a safe, trackable way to let family or friends contribute. You simply send a secure link, and they can pay by card, e-wallet, or Apple Pay.
