Dr Jason Fang Pin Chun
Dr Jason Fang Pin Chun graduated from the University of Western Australia with a degree in Dental Science and has been practising in Singapore for many years.
Dr Jason understands that wisdom tooth removal can feel intimidating, especially for patients worried about pain, swelling, or cost. He takes time to explain the diagnosis, treatment options, and expected recovery clearly, so patients feel informed and comfortable before proceeding.
At Fang Dental, Dr Jason performs both simple and surgical wisdom tooth extractions, including many impacted cases. When a case is more complex than what is suitable in-clinic, patients will be appropriately referred.
Do You Need Wisdom Tooth Removal?
You may need an assessment if you have any of the following:
Tooth pain, pressure or jaw discomfort
Swollen gums around a partially erupted tooth
Recurring food trapping or bad breath
Repeated infection
Tooth pressing on the molar beside it
Not every wisdom tooth needs removal. A proper examination and X-ray help determine whether monitoring or extraction is more appropriate.
The Hidden Cost of Ignoring Your Wisdom Tooth
An impacted or infected wisdom tooth doesn’t stay still—it often worsens over time. Delaying treatment can lead to greater damage to surrounding teeth, the jawbone, and higher treatment costs in the future.
Recurring Infections
Partially erupted wisdom teeth can trap food and bacteria, leading to repeated swelling, pain, and bad taste.
Damage to Adjacent Teeth
An impacted wisdom tooth can press against the neighbouring molar, increasing the risk of decay and damage.
Cysts & Bone Loss
In some cases, untreated impacted wisdom teeth may be associated with cyst formation and damage to surrounding bone.
Crowding & Shifting Teeth
Pressure from erupting wisdom teeth may contribute to crowding in some patients.
Harder, Costlier Removal Later
When problems worsen, treatment can become more complex, uncomfortable, and expensive.
The longer you wait, the more complex and costly the removal becomes. Early treatment means faster recovery and minimal to no top-up with Medisave.
Worried About Cost?
Many Wisdom Tooth Cases Need Only Minimal Top-Up
The cost of wisdom tooth removal depends on whether your tooth can be removed simply or requires surgery, how deeply impacted it is, and whether X-rays or additional treatment are needed. For suitable surgical cases, Medisave claimable (subject to eligibility) can help significantly reduce the out-of-pocket amount. In many routine in-clinic cases, patients may only need minimal to no top-up after assessment.
Simple Extraction
From $150
Best for teeth that have erupted and can be removed without surgery
Surgical Wisdom Tooth Removal
From $600
For impacted or more complex cases
You will receive a clear assessment and fee explanation before treatment is started.
What to Expect for Wisdom Tooth Removal
STEP 1
Assessment and X-ray
- We examine the wisdom tooth position, symptoms, and surrounding gum condition. X-rays may be taken to check whether the tooth is impacted and to plan the removal safely.
STEP 2
Clear Fee and Medisave Advice
- You will be advised whether the tooth can be removed simply or surgically, the expected fees, whether a Medisave claimable (subject to eligibility) may apply, and the expected out-of-pocket amount. For suitable cases, this may result in minimal to no top-up.
STEP 3
Gentle Removal
- Local anaesthesia is used to keep the area numb and comfortable. For surgical cases, the tooth may be removed in sections for safer extraction.
STEP 4
Recovery and Aftercare
- You will receive aftercare instructions, medication where needed, and guidance on swelling, eating, and healing.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my wisdom tooth needs removal?
Not all wisdom teeth need to be removed. Removal may be recommended if the tooth is impacted, painful, infected, difficult to clean, damaging the adjacent tooth, or causing gum problems
What is the difference between simple extraction and surgical removal?
Simple extraction is usually possible when the tooth has erupted enough to be removed without surgery. Surgical removal is needed when the tooth is impacted, partially trapped under the gum, or positioned awkwardly.
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?
Simple extraction starts from $150, while surgical wisdom tooth removal starts from $600. The final fee depends on complexity, X-rays, and whether additional treatment is needed.
Can Medisave be used?
For suitable surgical cases, Medisave claimable (subject to eligibility) may apply, and in some cases, this can result in minimal to no top-up. The clinic will advise you after assessment.
Will it be painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia to keep the area numb. Some discomfort, swelling, or soreness after treatment is normal and will usually settle with proper aftercare.
How long is the recovery?
Recovery varies by case. Simple extractions are usually faster. Surgical cases may involve a few days of swelling or discomfort before improving.
Will I know the fees before treatment starts?
Yes. The clinic should explain the recommended treatment and estimated fees before proceeding.
