Medisave for Dental Surgery in Singapore 2025 – Dentalis
Your Medisave, your peace of mind.
Navigating dental costs can feel overwhelming — but with Medisave, Singaporeans can offset expenses for certain surgical dental procedures. At Dentalis, we make the process simple and stress-free, guiding you step by step to use your Medisave for eligible treatments.
What is Medisave?
Medisave is Singapore’s national medical savings scheme that allows Singapore Citizens and PRs to set aside part of their income to pay for hospitalisation, day surgery, and certain outpatient treatments — including specific dental surgeries.

Common Questions
Can I use Medisave for Root Canal Treatment?
Can I use Medisave for Invisalign© braces?
No — orthodontic treatments are considered elective (cosmetic) and non-surgical.
Can I use Medisave for Dental Crowns?
No, crowns are non-surgical. From mid-2026, seniors can use Flexi-MediSave for permanent crowns at CHAS clinics and public hospitals.
What if my Medisave balance is not enough?
You can pay the difference out-of-pocket or use a family member’s Medisave.
Can I use Medisave for Tooth Extraction?
It depends on the type of extraction. Medisave will only cover surgical extractions, such as a complex or impacted tooth that requires an incision. A simple, non-surgical tooth extraction is not eligible for a Medisave claim.
What is the maximum Medisave claim for wisdom tooth surgery?
Withdrawal limits are $950–$1,250 for wisdom tooth surgery (depending on complexity).
Are claims available at private clinics?
Yes — as long as the clinic is Medisave-accredited (Dentalis is!).
