Wisdom Tooth Surgery at Dentalis — What to Expect
Most wisdom tooth assessments at Dentalis take 20–30 minutes. You leave with a diagnosis, a TOSP classification if your case is surgical, and a cost estimate — including your MediSave portion — before any procedure is scheduled.
-
Clinical examination and OPG X-ray Dr Jonathan Liu examines the gum tissue and jaw opening, then reviews a digital OPG panoramic X-ray to confirm tooth position, impaction angle, root morphology, and relationship to the inferior alveolar nerve canal. The consultation and OPG is S$98 before GST.
-
CBCT imaging if indicated For lower wisdom teeth whose roots approach the inferior alveolar nerve canal on OPG, CBCT 3D imaging is recommended to confirm exact nerve proximity before surgery. Unlike some clinics, Dentalis has CBCT on-site — no referral to an external radiology centre.
-
Cost estimate and MediSave confirmation Before any procedure is booked, you receive an estimate showing the surgical fee, applicable TOSP table, MediSave withdrawal amount, and cash balance. You are under no obligation to proceed.
-
Surgery Wisdom tooth surgery at Dentalis is performed by Dr Jonathan Liu or, for complex nerve-proximity cases, visiting oral and maxillofacial surgeon Dr Albert Lee Ming Hsien (FAMS, SDC D22238J). Anaesthesia is delivered via Calaject® computer-controlled system — a gradual, pressure-regulated injection that is less uncomfortable than a standard dental injection. Most single-tooth cases take 30–60 minutes.
-
Post-operative review A review appointment is scheduled for Day 7–10. Resorbable sutures dissolve without removal. The MediSave claim is submitted electronically by Dentalis on the day of surgery — you do not need to log in to the CPF portal. See our full wisdom tooth recovery guide for day-by-day aftercare.

Dentalis fees are within this range and reflect the complexity of care, the technology used, and the clinical experience of the treating dentist.
| Procedure | Dentalis Fee | Singapore Private Range | MediSave |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consultation + OPG X-ray | S$98 | S$58–S$150 | No — CHAS subsidy applies |
| Simple extraction — fully erupted tooth | S$250–S$300 | S$150–S$450 | No — CHAS subsidy applies |
| Surgical removal — standard impaction (TOSP 1B–2C) | S$950–S$1,120 | S$650–S$1,500 | Yes — S$720–S$1,420 per tooth |
| Surgical removal — complex / deep impaction (TOSP 3A–4B) | S$1,390–S$2,000 | S$1,200–S$2,000+ | Yes — S$1,690–S$2,740 per session |

Understanding the Difference
Why Wisdom Tooth Fees Vary in Singapore
Surgical fees for wisdom tooth removal in Singapore vary significantly between clinics — S$430 to S$2,000+ is a common range. Four factors drive this variation.
01 — Surgical Complexity
The MOH TOSP classification system sets MediSave limits precisely because surgical complexity varies so widely. A Table 1B case (soft tissue impaction, no bone removal) is a fundamentally different procedure from a Table 3A case (complete bony impaction). Quoting a single surgical fee for "wisdom tooth removal" without first reviewing an X-ray is not clinically meaningful.
02 — Clinician Qualifications
General dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons carry different levels of training for complex impacted wisdom teeth. At Dentalis, Dr Jonathan Liu (BDS NUS, 25+ years) manages standard to moderate impaction cases, while visiting oral surgeon Dr Albert Lee Ming Hsien (FAMS, SDC D22238J) handles nerve-proximity and complex cases — so the right clinician manages each case from the outset.
03 — Technology
Clinics that invest in CBCT 3D imaging on-site can assess nerve proximity accurately and plan surgery with greater precision — which typically reduces operating time, minimises trauma, and lowers complication risk. Calaject® computer-controlled anaesthesia also adds to the patient experience, particularly for those who find injections the most anxiety-provoking part of dental care.
04 — What Is Included
Some clinics quote the surgical fee alone; others include the consultation, X-ray, sutures, and post-operative review. At Dentalis, resorbable sutures and the Day 7–10 post-operative review are included in the surgical fee. The S$98 consultation and OPG is a separate charge..
Subsidies & Insurance

Yes. Dentalis is MediSave-accredited. MediSave applies to surgical wisdom tooth removal — not simple extraction of a fully erupted tooth. The applicable TOSP table is confirmed after OPG X-ray assessment. Withdrawal limits range from S$720 (Table 1B) to S$2,740 (Table 4B) per session including surgical consumables. Dentalis submits the MCAF claim to CPF Board on your behalf on the day of surgery.
Same-week appointments are typically available. Contact Dentalis via WhatsApp (6591923138) or phone (6425 9395) to confirm availability. If you have active facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing, seek same-day care — these signs indicate spreading infection that should not be managed at home. See our wisdom tooth pain guide for emergency warning signs.
Four variables drive fee differences: surgical complexity (TOSP classification), clinician qualifications and experience, technology used (CBCT on-site vs external referral, anaesthesia method), and what is included in the quoted fee (sutures, post-op review). A lower quoted surgical fee may not include the consultation, X-ray, or post-operative review that other clinics include. The only accurate basis for comparison is a cost estimate after an OPG X-ray review.
