Expert Wisdom Tooth Extraction in Katong — Pain-Free Removal
Most of our patients worry about surgery pain and recovery time — we use advanced surgical techniques to minimize both and guide you through every step.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cost in Katong
$250 – $1,500
Simple erupted extractions cost $250–$400; impacted teeth requiring surgical removal reach $1,000–$1,500 per tooth due to complexity.
Many patients extract 2–4 wisdom teeth simultaneously. Removing all four typically costs $2,000–$4,500, often with a volume discount.
Lower wisdom teeth close to the inferior alveolar nerve require more meticulous technique and specialist expertise, justifying higher fees.
Premium surgical centres and senior specialists in Katong charge 15–25% more, often reflecting advanced imaging and post-operative care.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Simple Extraction (Erupted Tooth) | $250–$400 |
| Surgical Extraction (Partially Impacted) | $600–$1,000 |
| Complex Surgical Extraction (Fully Impacted, Deep or Angled) | $1,000–$1,500 |

Your Wisdom Tooth Extraction: Step-by-Step Process
- 1
Consultation & Imaging
20–30 minutesYou'll meet the surgeon, discuss your pain or symptoms, and undergo a panoramic X-ray (OPG) to assess tooth position, impaction level, and proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve. This imaging guides the surgical approach and cost estimate.
- 2
Anaesthesia & Preparation
5–10 minutesLocal anaesthetic (often with nitrous oxide for relaxation) numbs the surgical area completely. You'll feel pressure and vibration but no pain. The surgeon marks the surgical field and positions instruments.
- 3
Gum & Bone Access (if Impacted)
10–20 minutesFor impacted teeth, the surgeon makes a small incision in the gum to expose the tooth. Bone may be carefully removed to access the tooth root. For simple erupted extractions, this step is minimal or skipped.
- 4
Tooth Removal & Sectioning
15–30 minutesThe surgeon gently rocks and loosens the tooth from its socket, or sections it into smaller pieces for easier removal. Techniques minimize bone trauma and reduce nerve risk. Tissue is irrigated and debris is cleared.
- 5
Closure & Post-Operative Instructions
5–10 minutesThe surgical site is closed with dissolving stitches. Gauze is packed to control bleeding. You receive detailed recovery instructions: pain management, swelling reduction, diet, and dry socket prevention. Follow-up is typically 7–10 days.
Am I a Good Candidate for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Good candidates
- Patients aged 18–30 with impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, or repeated infections (pericoronitis)
- Those with orthodontic treatment plans where wisdom teeth compromise crowding or bite alignment
- Patients with cavities or decay in wisdom teeth that are difficult to clean or restore
- Young adults with cysts or tumours associated with unerupted wisdom teeth (detected on X-ray)
May need extra assessment
- Patients on blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin) or with bleeding disorders — additional pre-operative assessment and modified techniques may be required
- Those with uncontrolled diabetes or immunocompromise — infection risk is higher; consultant will assess timing and post-operative antibiotics
- Severe anxiety or dental phobia — sedation options (nitrous oxide or IV sedation) available at most Katong clinics, but require additional screening
