  Go to a polyclinic, get a referral letter to National Dental Centre, it will be subsidised...

  Suggested you do it in NDC as the surgeon is very experienced and the operation is quite professional done.
  
  If not wrong, you can actually use your medicsave for the extraction of your wisdom tooth/teeth; for those in the army, you can do it in your medical centre or reference letter to NDC by your MO.

  most ppl only need surgery for the lower 2 wisdom tooth.
  the upper 2 can be extracted easily.
  go to a polyclinic first for a checkup then get a referral
  mine cost $575 for all four tooth, 2 lower tooth for $250 each, $75 for one upper tooth n the dentist waived the charge for the other
  buy 3 get one free
