Understand your surgical options, Medisave eligibility, and what to expect before, during, and after removal.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Costs in Sengkang
$250 – $1,500
Simple extractions of fully erupted teeth cost $250–$500; surgical removal of impacted teeth requiring bone removal ranges $800–$1,500.
Lower wisdom teeth near the inferior alveolar nerve command higher fees ($900–$1,500) due to increased surgical complexity and nerve proximity risk.
Established clinics with surgical specialists typically charge 15–25% more than general practitioners, but lower revision and complication rates justify the cost.
Antibiotics, analgesics, and follow-up dressing changes add $50–$150; some clinics include these in the quoted price, others charge separately.

|---|---|
| Simple Extraction (Fully Erupted) | $250–$500 per tooth |

Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure: What Happens Step by Step
- 1
Consultation & Imaging
20–30 minutesYour dentist takes a panoramic X-ray to assess impaction level, bone depth, and nerve proximity. They discuss whether simple or surgical extraction is needed and review Medisave eligibility.
- 2
Anesthesia Administration
5 minutesLocal anesthetic is administered; you remain awake but feel no pain—only pressure and vibration. Oral sedation (anxiety control) may be offered as an add-on for nervous patients.
- 3
Surgical Removal
15–45 minutes (depends on complexity)For impacted teeth, the surgeon makes a small incision in the gum, removes bone around the tooth if needed, and may section the tooth into smaller pieces for easier removal. Simple extractions use forceps to rock and extract the tooth.
- 4
Socket Closure & Gauze Packing
10 minutesThe extraction socket is cleaned, stitched if needed, and packed with medicated gauze. You bite on gauze for 30–45 minutes to form a blood clot and stop bleeding.
- 5
Post-Op Instructions & Medication
15 minutesYou receive antibiotics, pain relief medication, ice pack instructions, and dietary restrictions. Follow-up is scheduled for 7–10 days to remove stitches and check healing.
Am I a Candidate for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Good candidates
- Wisdom teeth causing acute pain, swelling, or recurrent infections (pericoronitis); impaction confirmed on X-ray with timeline recommended by your dentist
- Fully erupted or partially erupted wisdom teeth that are crowding other teeth or creating a cavity-prone space; extraction prevents future alignment problems
- Asymptomatic impacted teeth in patients under 30 where risk of surgical complications is lower; preventive removal before complications arise
- Patients with adequate healing capacity, no uncontrolled diabetes or bleeding disorders, and realistic expectations about recovery time and post-op discomfort
May need extra assessment
- Lower wisdom teeth positioned very close to the inferior alveolar nerve (visible on panoramic X-ray): requires advanced imaging (CBCT) and a specialist surgeon to minimize nerve injury risk
- Patients on blood thinners (warfarin, apixaban) or with bleeding disorders: need pre-operative assessment and possible medication adjustment by your GP; extraction still safe but requires careful hemostasis
- Severely impacted teeth or those requiring bone removal: may need referral to an oral surgeon rather than a general dentist; healing time extends to 3 weeks
