TOOTH EXTRACTIONS
Gentle & Professional Tooth Extractions
Safe tooth extraction procedures performed with your comfort and oral health as our priority.
What Is a Tooth Extraction?
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure performed to remove a tooth that can no longer be preserved or is causing pain, infection, overcrowding, or other oral health concerns. At GH Goh Dental Surgery, we carefully assess every case to determine whether extraction is the most appropriate treatment, always considering options to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible.
Our goal is to ensure every procedure is carried out safely, comfortably, and with personalised care.

Recovery & Aftercare
Most patients recover well following a tooth extraction by following the aftercare instructions provided by their dentist. This may include biting gently on gauze to control bleeding, avoiding strenuous activities, and maintaining good oral hygiene while allowing the extraction site to heal properly.
If you experience prolonged pain, swelling, or bleeding, please contact our clinic promptly for further assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged beyond repair, affected by advanced gum disease, impacted, or causing overcrowding. Our dentist will carefully assess your condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
Yes. We provide both routine tooth extractions and lower wisdom tooth extractions. Lower wisdom teeth can become impacted or partially erupted, causing pain, swelling, infection, or damage to neighbouring teeth. Our dentist will perform a clinical examination and take X-rays to determine the most appropriate treatment.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. Some swelling and mild discomfort after the procedure are normal, and our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and medication to support a smooth recovery.
Recovery depends on the complexity of the extraction. Most patients recover within a few days after a simple extraction, while impacted lower wisdom tooth extractions may require a longer healing period.
Following your dentist’s aftercare instructions is important for proper healing. This includes avoiding smoking, drinking through a straw, vigorous rinsing, and consuming hard or hot foods during the first few days after the procedure.
If you have a MediSave account, the cost of the surgery is fully claimable. The cost of the surgery is approximately S$1,500.
Note: The final treatment fee may vary depending on the complexity of the extraction and your individual treatment requirements. Our dentist will discuss the estimated cost with you during your consultation.
