$1,250 total, fully claimable through Medisave. $0* out-of-pocket for surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth at Trust Dental Surgery.
Wisdom tooth surgery is a Medisave-claimable procedure. Here is what you need to know about costs and the claim process.
Our clinic handles the Medisave paperwork for you. Here is what to expect.
Your dental surgeon examines your wisdom teeth and takes an X-ray to determine if surgical extraction is needed.
On the day of surgery, bring your NRIC (or your dependent's NRIC if using a family member's Medisave account).
Our clinic submits the Medisave claim on your behalf. You sign the claim form at the clinic — that is all you need to do.
The full amount is deducted from your Medisave account. No cash payment is required at the counter.
Here is everything you need to know about how the Medisave deduction works for wisdom tooth surgery.
Bring your NRIC on the day of surgery. If you are using a family member's Medisave, bring their NRIC as well. No additional paperwork is needed from you — our clinic handles everything else.
The Medisave claim is processed electronically at the point of treatment. You sign a form at the clinic, and we submit it to CPF. The deduction from your Medisave account happens within a few working days. There is no waiting period or separate application.
You can use the Medisave of your spouse, parents, children, grandparents, or grandchildren. The family member does not need to be present — just bring their NRIC. This is useful if your own Medisave balance is insufficient.
If your Medisave balance is insufficient to cover the full surgical fee, you pay the remaining balance in cash. For example, if you have $900 in Medisave and the fee is $1,250, you pay $350 cash. You can also use a family member's Medisave instead.
The Medisave withdrawal limit for wisdom tooth surgery is $1,250 per tooth per procedure. Each wisdom tooth is treated as a separate claim. If all 4 wisdom teeth need surgical extraction, you can claim up to $5,000 total from Medisave.
You do not have to remove all wisdom teeth in one visit. Many patients choose to do one side per session for comfort. Each session's claim is processed independently. There is no penalty for spreading out your extractions.
Wisdom tooth surgery can be $0 out-of-pocket with Medisave. Find out if you qualify.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia in our clinic. Here is what to expect, step by step.
Your dental surgeon numbs the area around the wisdom tooth. You will be awake but will not feel any pain during the procedure.
Takes about 5 minutesA small incision is made in the gum tissue. If the tooth is trapped under bone, a small amount of bone may be carefully removed to access it.
The wisdom tooth is gently extracted. In some cases, the tooth is divided into smaller sections for easier and safer removal.
Typically 20–45 minutes per toothThe site is cleaned and stitched. Your dental surgeon provides aftercare instructions, prescribed medication (painkillers, antibiotics, mouthwash), and schedules a follow-up visit.

Book a ConsultationMost patients recover within 3 to 5 days. Follow these tips for the best outcome.
Rest for the first 24 hours. Keep your head elevated with pillows when lying down to reduce swelling.
Apply an ice pack to your cheek for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off during the first 48 hours to minimise swelling.
Stick to porridge, soup, yoghurt, and mashed foods for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy food.
Follow the prescribed painkillers and antibiotics as directed. Do not skip doses, even if you feel fine.
After 24 hours, gently rinse with the prescribed mouthwash or warm salt water. Avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting.
No smoking, no straws, no strenuous exercise for at least 3 days. These can dislodge the blood clot and delay healing.
