Tooth extraction in Singapore: costs, Medisave and GST

Updated 11 November 2026

A tooth extraction in Singapore costs about S$70 to S$120 for a front tooth and S$93 to S$164 for a back tooth, per tooth, before any X-ray. Complex or surgical removal costs more. To get current prices for your tooth, describe the case in a request on BlaBlaPrice, and clinics will reply with their own price.

Medisave, CHAS and GST

Medisave cannot be used for a routine extraction, but a surgical extraction can be claimed, and some clinics accept CHAS. Many fees are quoted before GST, while others say they are subject to prevailing GST, so ask for the total including GST before you agree. Ask the clinic which of these applies to your case.

Season and timing

Singapore has no winter, so dental work is spread evenly through the year, and the weather does not change the procedure. Plan the day around work: a surgical wisdom tooth removal means more time off and rest afterwards. If the tooth is painful or swollen, do not wait for a better season.

Consultation, X-ray and what the price covers

Quotes are per tooth, and the consultation and X-ray are usually priced separately. An X-ray of the tooth is listed at about S$80, and an initial consultation runs from about S$50 up to S$270, depending on the dentist. Ask whether the quote includes the consultation, the X-ray and any follow-up visit. A child's extraction can cost less: one listing gives about S$80 per tooth for a child.

What to write in the request

Give the tooth number or say which tooth it is, whether it is a wisdom tooth, and whether the case is simple or complicated. Say if you already have an X-ray or CT scan, whether the patient is an adult or a child, any health conditions the dentist should know about, your area and when you can come. Add your budget and whether you want Medisave used. Clinics can then quote a price for this tooth, not a general range.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the case in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through clinics' websites and fee lists in Singapore, then shows the prices and clinics it found. Clinics registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their own offer. Your contact details stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them.
