Sedation or general anaesthesiahigh

Local anaesthesia is included in extraction cost. IV sedation adds $200–$500; general anaesthesia (hospital setting) adds $800–$1,500. Choose based on anxiety level and procedure complexity.

What Happens During Oral Surgery: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Pre-operative assessment and imaging

    20–30 minutes

    Your dentist takes X-rays or CBCT scans to map the tooth position, root depth, and nearby nerves. You'll discuss sedation options and sign consent. This appointment confirms whether the extraction is simple or surgical.

  2. 2

    Anaesthesia administration

    5–15 minutes

    Local anaesthesia numbs the tooth and surrounding gum. If you choose IV sedation or general anaesthesia, the dentist or anaesthetist will administer it so you're relaxed or unconscious. You will NOT feel pain during surgery.

  3. 3

    Tooth removal and bone contouring

    15–45 minutes (depends on complexity)

    The dentist makes an incision in the gum, carefully removes bone if needed to access the tooth, then extracts it in pieces if necessary. For impacted teeth, the surgeon may section the tooth to minimize bone removal and nerve risk.

  4. 4

    Socket cleaning and closure

    10 minutes

    The empty socket is cleaned to remove fragments, irrigated, and sutured closed. A gauze pack is placed to control bleeding. The dentist will give you post-operative care instructions and pain management advice.

  5. 5

    Recovery and follow-up

    Variable (follow-up: 1–2 weeks)

    You rest for 1–2 hours at the clinic (if sedated) before going home. Sutures are removed in 7–10 days. Pain peaks on days 2–3, then improves. Most patients return to light activities in 3–5 days; full healing takes 2–4 weeks.

Total timeline: From pre-op assessment to full healing: 2–4 weeks. Simple extractions heal faster (1–2 weeks); impacted teeth and jaw surgery take longer (6–12 weeks).

Am I a Candidate for Oral Surgery in Bugis?

Good candidates

  • You have an impacted wisdom tooth causing pain, swelling, or infection—surgical removal prevents future complications and is often claimable under Medisave.
  • Your dentist has identified a lesion, cyst, or lump in your mouth that needs biopsy or removal—early diagnosis and treatment protect your oral health.
  • You have a severely fractured or deeply rooted tooth that cannot be removed with simple extraction—surgical techniques minimize bone loss and nerve risk.
  • You suffer from chronic jaw pain, bite problems, or TMJ dysfunction that hasn't improved with conservative treatment—orthognathic or surgical correction may be necessary.

May need extra assessment

  • You have uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or take blood thinners—your dentist will coordinate with your doctor and may adjust surgical approach or timing.
  • You are pregnant—elective oral surgery is usually deferred to the second trimester; emergency surgical extractions can be performed with precautions.
  • You have significant dental anxiety or previous bad surgical experiences—IV sedation or referral to a specialist in anxious patients may help you feel safe.
