New Trend for Macau Residents! Vickong Dental Offers Affordable Care + Dim Sum Trip!
Hi everyone, it's Chi Ching here! Today I want to share my dental filling experience at Vickong Dental in Zhuhai - an amazing deal compared to Macau prices, with top-notch service! Plus you can make it a fun day trip with delicious food - truly a "dental care + food adventure" package!
Why travel all the way to Zhuhai for a filling?
I initially hesitated too - "It's just a filling, Macau has plenty of clinics!" But when I got quotes...yikes! My neighborhood clinic charged outrageous prices - even the cheapest resin filling cost a fortune, while better materials could hit 2,000 MOP per tooth (plus extra for exams/X-rays. My molar had visible black lines, and the assistant warned I might need a root canal - potentially over 10,000 MOP total! My legs literally went weak hearing that.
Then my aunt - a seasoned dental patient herself - recommended Zhuhai clinics. She said fillings start at just 180 RMB there, with root canals at 1/3 Hong Kong prices, plus Cantonese-speaking staff. Worth a try!
The Journey
I took the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge - 45 minutes straight to Zhuhai Port, then 10 minutes to the clinic. The "Vickong Dental" sign was huge, and the modern clinic had floor-to-ceiling windows with street views.
The Treatment
Dr. Wu greeted me in warm Cantonese! Using advanced equipment, she confirmed my cavity hadn't reached the nerve - no root canal needed, just a simple filling!
The painless procedure took no time, with Dr. Ng explaining each material choice. They offered multiple options - I chose premium American 3M Z350 for 480 RMB (cheaper materials available) to avoid future repairs.
The Bonus Food Adventure!
Afterward, I grabbed a pork chop bun at a nearby cha chaan teng, strolled Lover's Road, and admired the Zhuhai Opera House ("The Shell") - all easily done in a day trip!
How to Find It
Just search "Vickong Dental Zhuhai" on Google Maps - that's how I navigated there.
