Wisdom Tooth Extraction Costs in Serangoon
$250 – $1,500
Simple extractions ($250–$400) suit teeth that are fully erupted. Surgical extractions ($600–$1,500) are needed for impacted or partially submerged teeth, requiring surgical skills and longer operating time.
Multiple teeth (especially all four wisdom teeth) may attract package discounts or sedation costs. Curved roots, bone density, or nerve proximity increase surgical complexity and price.
Local anaesthesia is standard ($0 additional). IV sedation or nitrous oxide adds $150–$300+ for comfort during longer procedures, especially valuable for anxious patients.
Most clinics include basic aftercare; premium options may add anti-inflammatory injections or prescription painkillers. Expect $50–$100 if purchased separately.
| Option | Cost |
|---|---|
| Simple Extraction (Single Tooth) | $250–$400 |
| Surgical Extraction (Impacted Tooth) | $600–$1,200 |
| All Four Wisdom Teeth (Package) | $1,200–$1,500 |

How Wisdom Tooth Extraction Works
- 1
Pre-Operative Consultation & Imaging
15–20 minutesYour dentist reviews panoramic X-rays to assess impaction depth, root complexity, and nerve proximity. You'll discuss pain history, extraction timeline, and Medisave eligibility. Pre-operative blood work or cardiac clearance may be ordered if medically necessary.
- 2
Anaesthesia Administration
5–10 minutesLocal anaesthetic is injected around the tooth's base to numb the area. IV sedation (optional) is administered if you're anxious or removing multiple teeth; you'll feel drowsy but aware and able to follow commands.
- 3
Tooth Removal & Bone Management
5–30 minutes per tooth (depends on complexity)For simple extractions, the dentist uses forceps to loosen and extract the tooth. For surgical extractions, a small incision is made, impacted bone is carefully removed, and the tooth is extracted in sections to minimise trauma. Nerves are avoided with surgical precision.
- 4
Socket Cleaning & Closure
5 minutesThe extraction socket is irrigated to remove debris and bacteria. Bone edges are smoothed, and absorbable sutures are placed. Some clinics apply blood clot promoters to reduce dry socket risk. Gauze is packed to control bleeding.
- 5
Post-Op Instructions & Medication
10 minutesYou receive printed aftercare guidelines: bite on gauze for 30 minutes, avoid drinking/smoking for 24 hours, sleep elevated for 3 nights. Prescription painkillers and antibiotics (if needed) are provided. Follow-up appointments are scheduled for suture removal at 7 days.
Are You a Good Candidate for Wisdom Tooth Extraction?
Good candidates
- Young adults (18–40) with impacted, partially erupted, or fully erupted wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, infection (pericoronitis), or crowding
- Patients whose dentist has identified wisdom teeth on panoramic X-ray as a future problem — preventive extraction avoids emergency surgery later
- People with recurring infections around the wisdom tooth area, or cysts/tumours developing around impacted teeth
- Patients with sufficient healing capacity (good general health, non-smoker or willing to quit) and realistic expectations about 7–10 day recovery
May need extra assessment
- Smokers or heavy smokers, as smoking increases dry socket risk and slows healing — discuss cessation strategies and post-op care modifications with your surgeon
- Patients on blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin) or with bleeding disorders — your dentist may coordinate with your physician to adjust medication before surgery
- Medically compromised patients (poorly controlled diabetes, immunosuppression, bisphosphonate use) — extra pre-operative assessment and modified aftercare protocols are needed
