I’ve been experiencing discomfort from my wisdom tooth and I’m planning to get it removed, but I’m not sure about the costs involved. One thing I really need clarity on is whether wisdom tooth removal in Singapore is MediSave-claimable. Many clinics seem to say different things, so I want to know exactly which procedures are covered and how much I can actually claim. Can I use MediSave ?
Yes, wisdom tooth removal is Medisave-claimable in Singapore, but only when it is a surgical extraction. This includes procedures where the dentist must cut the gum, remove bone or section the tooth. Simple, non-surgical extractions are not Medisave-claimable. Depending on the complexity, patients may claim SGD $250–$950 from their Medisave account. At Ashford Dental Centre, our team will assess your wisdom tooth with an X-ray, advise whether surgery is required, and guide you through the Medisave claim process for a smooth, hassle-free experience.
