Simple wisdom tooth extraction costs approximately SGD 50 to SGD 100 per tooth. Surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth costs SGD 150 to SGD 400 per tooth depending on the complexity.
Simple extraction is used when the wisdom tooth has fully erupted and can be removed with standard dental instruments. Surgical extraction is needed when the tooth is partially or fully impacted (trapped beneath the gum or bone), requiring an incision and sometimes bone removal.
A simple extraction takes 15 to 30 minutes per tooth. Surgical extraction of an impacted tooth takes 30 to 60 minutes. If removing all four wisdom teeth in one session, plan for 1 to 2 hours.
For a simple extraction, yes. For surgical removal, most dentists recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before flying due to swelling and the effects of anaesthesia. Plan at least 2 to 3 days in Penang for surgical cases.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the extraction. Post-operative discomfort (swelling, mild pain) is normal and manageable with prescribed pain medication.
Removing all four at once is common and avoids multiple procedures. Your dentist will advise based on the position and condition of each tooth. Some patients prefer to remove one or two at a time.
No referral is needed. You can contact a Penang dental clinic directly via WhatsApp. Share your dental X-ray (OPG) in advance so the dentist can assess complexity before your appointment.
Soft foods for the first 2 to 3 days: congee, soup, yogurt, smoothies. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods. Penang's food scene includes plenty of soft options. Gradually return to normal eating as healing progresses.
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, cysts, damage to adjacent teeth, and crowding. Not all wisdom teeth need removal, but those causing symptoms or showing signs of future problems should be addressed.
Your dentist may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection, especially for surgical extractions. Follow the prescribed course completely. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient for pain management.
