Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cost in Jurong
$250 – $1,500
Simple extractions (fully erupted, loose tooth) cost $250–$500. Surgical removal of impacted teeth requiring bone removal and stitches costs $800–$1,500.
Most patients remove 1–4 wisdom teeth. Bulk removal discounts may apply; ask clinics for multi-tooth pricing.
Lower wisdom teeth near the inferior alveolar nerve require more skill and imaging. Upper teeth are typically simpler and cheaper.
Panoramic X-rays ($30–$80), 3D CBCT scans ($150–$300), and post-operative antibiotics add to total cost but are often essential for safety.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Simple extraction (one fully erupted tooth) | $250–$500 |
| Surgical extraction (one impacted tooth requiring bone removal) | $700–$1,200 |
| Multiple teeth removal (2–4 wisdom teeth in one session) | $1,000–$1,500 |

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure Step-by-Step
- 1
Consultation and imaging
20–30 minutesYour dentist examines your mouth, reviews your medical history, and takes a panoramic X-ray (and possibly 3D CBCT) to assess impaction level, nerve proximity, and root complexity. This determines whether you need simple or surgical extraction and guides the surgeon's approach.
- 2
Anaesthesia and surgical prep
5–10 minutesLocal anaesthetic (usually with sedation option) is injected to numb the tooth and surrounding tissue. You remain awake but feel no pain, only pressure and vibration. The surgical field is cleaned and isolated with a dental bib.
- 3
Tooth removal
10–45 minutes (depends on complexity)For simple extractions, the dentist uses forceps to rock and lift the tooth free. For surgical cases, the surgeon makes a small gum incision, removes bone if needed with a handpiece, sectioning the tooth into pieces if impacted, then carefully lifts each piece out.
- 4
Wound closure and haemostasis
5–15 minutesAfter extraction, the socket is rinsed, checked for remaining fragments, and packed if needed. Stitches (typically dissolvable) are placed to close the gum incision. Gauze is packed to control bleeding; you'll bite down to apply pressure.
- 5
Post-operative instructions and recovery plan
10 minutes (before you leave)You receive written aftercare instructions: bite gauze for 30–60 minutes, avoid rinsing and spitting, take prescribed antibiotics and painkillers, apply ice for the first 24 hours, then warm compresses. Book a follow-up in 7 days to check healing and remove stitches if non-dissolvable.
Am I a candidate for wisdom tooth extraction?
Good candidates
- You have acute pain or swelling from an erupting wisdom tooth, and your dentist has confirmed with X-rays that removal is necessary.
- Your dentist has shown you a panoramic X-ray revealing impaction — the tooth is angled into bone or buried below the gum — and recommends removal before infection or complications occur.
- You've had one or more episodes of pericoronitis (infected gum around the wisdom tooth) that antibiotics temporarily resolved but keeps returning.
- You're 16–35 years old; bone is still dense enough to remove the tooth cleanly, and healing is typically faster than in older adults.
May need extra assessment
- You have a bleeding disorder, take anticoagulants, or have uncontrolled diabetes — your surgeon needs to know before the appointment to adjust technique and manage bleeding and healing risk.
- Your wisdom tooth is deeply impacted or very close to the inferior alveolar nerve — your surgeon may recommend a 3D CBCT scan for precise planning and may refer you to a specialist oral surgeon for nerve-preservation technique.
- You have severe anxiety about dental surgery — discuss with your surgeon whether IV sedation (twilight sedation) or a referral to a dental anaesthetist is an option; many Jurong clinics offer these services.
