affordable wisdom tooth extraction singapore

Many young adults will develop wisdom teeth, but in some instances, these teeth may not emerge properly due to limited space in the jaw, leading to pain or discomfort. If you’re facing such issues, you might be contemplating the removal of your wisdom teeth. This article provides comprehensive information on the costs of Wisdom Tooth Removal.

Factors Influencing Costs:

Age plays a role; extraction is relatively simpler in younger individuals due to their more elastic jawbones.

Wisdom teeth with complications, like partial eruption or irregular shape, may require surgery, increasing the removal cost.

The choice between a general dentist and a dental specialist can also impact the procedure cost.

Cost Breakdown at Figs Dental:

Wisdom Tooth Extraction: $200.00 – $300.00
Impacted/Wisdom Tooth Surgery: $650.00 – $1500.00

Prices are accurate at publication and exclude GST. Please check with our clinic for current rates.

MediSave Claim for Wisdom Tooth Surgery:

Only surgeries can be claimed under MediSave.

Claimable amount depends on the surgery’s complexity, including tooth division and the number of teeth removed.

MediSave limits for surgeries:

Without tooth division: Up to $350

Deep and with tooth division: Up to $1,250

Note: Actual claimable amount may vary; final approval is subject to MOH.
