Wisdom Tooth Surgery in Novena, Singapore – Gentle Care at LQ Dental
What Is Wisdom Tooth Surgery ?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to emerge—usually between the ages of 17 and 25. For many patients, there’s not enough room in the jaw for these teeth to grow properly, leading to issues such as impaction, pain, infection, or crowding.
At LQ Dental in Novena, Singapore, we provide safe, gentle, and effective wisdom tooth removal using current technology and modern surgical techniques. Whether your wisdom teeth are partially erupted, fully impacted, or causing discomfort, our experienced dental team will ensure you receive the highest standard of care—from consultation to recovery.

A. Comprehensive Consultation & Advanced Imaging
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment of your oral health and wisdom teeth.
What’s included:
Full dental examination to evaluate symptoms such as swelling, pain, or infection.
Digital X-rays or 3D CBCT (Cone Beam CT) scans to accurately assess:
Tooth alignment
Root development
Proximity to nerves (especially the inferior alveolar nerve)
Presence of cysts or decay
Personalized treatment plan: We explain the type of extraction needed (simple or surgical), outline risks, and help you select the best anesthesia option for your case and comfort level.
📌 This step is crucial to ensure a safe, minimally invasive approach.
B) Simple Wisdom Tooth Extraction
This option is suitable when the wisdom tooth:
Has fully erupted above the gumline
Is not impacted or positioned at an angle
Can be accessed easily without cutting gum or bone
Procedure details:
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area.
The tooth is gently loosened and extracted.
The site is cleaned and packed with gauze.
No stitches are usually needed.
Duration: Typically 15–30 minutes
Recovery: 1–3 days
Ideal for: Mild cases, single extractions
C) Surgical Wisdom Tooth Extraction
This is required for teeth that are:
Impacted (stuck under the gum or bone)
Partially erupted, angled, or causing crowding
Associated with pain, swelling, decay, or infection
Close to nerves or sinuses
Procedure details:
Can be done under local anesthesia, IV sedation, or general anesthesia.
A small incision is made in the gum to access the tooth.
In some cases, a small portion of bone may be removed or the tooth may be sectioned into pieces for easier removal.
After extraction, the area is thoroughly cleaned and sutured (dissolvable stitches or standard).
Gauze is applied to control bleeding and support clot formation.
Duration: 30–60 minutes per tooth
Recovery: 3–7 days (with gradual improvement over 2 weeks)
Ideal for: Complex or multiple tooth extractions, impacted teeth
📝 A post-operative guide and follow-up review will be scheduled to ensure proper healing.
D) Sedation & Anaesthesia Options
We understand dental anxiety is real. At LQ Dental, we offer several comfort-enhancing options:
1. Local Anaesthesia
Numbs the extraction area; you remain fully awake.
2. IV Sedation
Delivered through a vein; relaxes you without full unconsciousness.
3. General Anaesthesia
You’ll be fully asleep; recommended for complex extractions or all 4 teeth.
💬 Our team will discuss the best option for your needs, comfort level, and health status.
E) Post-Surgical Recovery & Care
After surgery, we provide detailed recovery support to help you heal quickly and comfortably.
What we provide:
Pain medication and anti-inflammatories (prescription if needed)
Antibiotics (if infection risk is present)
Instructions on:
How to manage swelling (cold compress, head elevation)
Eating and drinking (soft diet, hydration, no straws)
Oral hygiene (gentle rinsing, brushing around the site)
Activity limits (rest, no heavy exercise for 2–3 days)
Medical certificate available upon request
Optional follow-up review after 5–7 days for suture removal (if non-dissolvable)
🚫 We also educate patients on how to avoid dry socket and other complications.

How do I know if my wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Common signs include pain, swelling, jaw stiffness, bad breath, or infections. An X-ray can confirm if the teeth are impacted or misaligned, even before symptoms appear.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is painless during surgery thanks to anaesthesia or sedation. Mild discomfort afterward is common but well-managed with medication and proper care.
Can I claim Medisave for wisdom tooth surgery?
Yes! Surgical removal of wisdom teeth is Medisave claimable at LQ Dental. Our team will assist with the documentation and claim process.

Recovery usually takes 3–5 days. For more complex extractions, it may take up to a week. Full tissue healing can take a few weeks, depending on the individual.
Can I go back to work or school the next day?
We recommend taking at least 1–2 days off to rest. We’ll provide a medical certificate upon request.
