Numbing cream will be given followed by local anaesthesia to make it a comfortable experience for you. The non salvageable tooth will be gently elevated from the tooth socket and you will be discharged for home as soon as the wound has clotted shortly after.
If the tooth is badly broken down or growing out at an awkward angle, it may be necessary for your dentist to recommend surgical excision of your tooth. This means that some bone around the tooth may need to be removed to allow your dentist to get a good grip on the broken pieces so they can be removed from your jaw.
In the case of an impacted wisdom tooth (wisdom tooth growing at an awkward angle), the same process of surgical excision may also be necessary and this may also involve the division of the tooth for clean removal.
At TP Dental, we have the option of having the above mentioned procedures performed under sedation, relative analgesia or general anaesthesia as well.
Wisdom teeth are a set of molars that surface during their early twenties or the late teens. If your mouth has room to grow, wisdom teeth can sprout properly and help you chew food better. If it doesn’t, however, the wisdom tooth could end up buried under the gum tissue or partially erupt at an inconvenient time.
When a wisdom tooth causes problems, you need to visit a dentist as soon as possible. Here’s why:
Impaction happens when a wisdom tooth is crowded and cannot erupt properly, or erupts forcibly through the gum in a compromised position. A few of the common kinds of wisdom teeth impaction are:
We make the tooth removal process as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Our experienced dentists in Singapore use numbing cream and local anaesthesia to reduce discomfort and self-resolving sutures for added convenience. Additionally, we use cutting-edge dental equipment and technology to safely remove the impacted wisdom tooth.

Yes. Please call answering service operator on 6533 0088 and ask for one of the "on-call" dentists from TP Dental Surgeons. Our dentist will get back to you as soon as possible and if necessary, arrange to see you immediately at our practice.
Except for emergency problems requiring immediate treatment, patients are seen by appointment. If you are unable to come at the appointed time, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can rearrange the appointment.
Some people are very frightened of dental treatment. For these patients, we will use relative analgesia (laughing gas) to relieve their anxiety. Ask any of our staff about this and they will gladly explain it to you.
Yes. We have all the specialists in all dental specialties in our clinic.
Our dentists and staff will gladly explain our costs to you before the commencement of any treatment.
You can pay by cash, cheque, NETS or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Diners). Normally, payments are expected at each visit. However, for extensive work, you will be required to pay a deposit on your first visit and to settle the balance when the work is completed. Advance payment is also accepted.
Many of our patients have insurance to help pay towards the cost of their dentistry and our fees are the same, regardless of whether a patient has insurance or not. However, it is our policy that patients are responsible for ensuring that their bills are paid in full. Therefore you will need to make your own financial arrangements before receiving treatment and will need to ensure that the bill is settled in full at the end of your treatment. Should there be a dispute between you and your insurance company, it must be handled directly you and them. However, we will gladly provide any relevant information to help settle the matter.
