Worried about being awake during surgery? Our surgeons use sedation and local anaesthesia so you won't feel a thing—plus realistic recovery timelines so you know exactly what to expect.
Oral Surgery Costs in Potong Pasir
$200 – $3,000
Simple extractions ($200–$400) vs surgical extractions of impacted teeth ($800–$2,000+). Surgical cases take longer and require more expertise.
Local anaesthesia only is cheaper; conscious sedation adds $300–$600; general anaesthesia can add $800–$1,500. Discuss your anxiety level with your surgeon.
3D CBCT scans ($150–$300) and pre-op blood work ($100–$200) may be required for complex surgical cases. These are essential for safety but add to total cost.
Dry socket treatment, infection management, or bone grafting can add $200–$800. Most uncomplicated cases resolve without these extras.

Oral Surgery Step-by-Step: What Happens During Your Procedure
- 1
Pre-operative consultation & imaging
15–30 minutesYour surgeon reviews your medical history, examines the tooth, and takes a 3D CBCT scan to map the tooth's position, roots, and proximity to nerves. You discuss sedation options and sign consent forms. This is your chance to ask all your questions.
- 2
Sedation & local anaesthesia
5–10 minutesIf you choose conscious sedation, the nurse starts an IV and you drift into a relaxed state. Local anaesthesia is injected around the tooth so you feel pressure but no pain. If general anaesthesia, you go completely to sleep.
- 3
Tooth extraction or surgical removal
20–45 minutes (depends on complexity)The surgeon gently lifts or elevates the tooth using specialised instruments. If the tooth is impacted, a small amount of bone may be removed. The tooth is extracted in pieces if needed. You will hear grinding sounds and feel vibration but no pain.
- 4
Socket cleaning & suturing
10–15 minutesThe extraction socket is flushed with saline to remove debris and blood clots. Bone edges are smoothed if needed. Stitches (absorbable or non-absorbable) are placed to close the site and promote healing. Gauze is packed into the socket.
- 5
Recovery monitoring & post-op instructions
30–60 minutes in clinicYou rest in a recovery bay until sedation wears off (30–60 minutes). The nurse checks your bleeding, blood pressure, and pain level. You receive written post-op care instructions, a prescription for antibiotics or pain relief if needed, and a follow-up appointment card.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Good candidates
- Adults with impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, infection, or crowding — regardless of anxiety level, sedation can keep you comfortable.
- Patients with severely decayed or broken teeth that cannot be restored and must be removed to prevent infection.
- People with a visible lump, lesion, or ulcer in the mouth that needs biopsy or pathology assessment.
- Those with jaw joint pain or bite problems caused by a retained tooth or bone issue that conservative treatment hasn't resolved.
May need extra assessment
- Patients with uncontrolled diabetes or bleeding disorders — your surgeon will need recent blood work and may adjust your sedation plan or post-op antibiotics.
- Anyone taking blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, newer anticoagulants) — stop or adjust under your GP's guidance before surgery; your dentist will coordinate.
- Patients with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea — inform your surgeon upfront so they can choose the safest sedation method and monitor you closely during recovery.
