Medisave Dental Clinic in Singapore
MediSave can be used for dental treatment in Singapore, but only for procedures that are surgical in nature. Wisdom tooth surgery, the surgical placement of dental implants, bone grafting, gum grafting, and the surgical removal of cysts are claimable. Routine treatment such as scaling and polishing, fillings, root canal treatment, crowns, dentures, and teeth whitening is not claimable because MediSave covers surgical and medically necessary care rather than general dentistry.
Kent Dental Works is a MediSave-accredited dental clinic, so eligible surgical procedures carried out here can be claimed against your MediSave account, and our team prepares and submits the claim documentation for you.
If you are looking for reliable Medisave dental clinics in Singapore, Kent Dental Works provides eligible patients with access to Medisave claimable dental and surgical procedures in a safe and transparent clinical environment.
Our clinic takes a patient-focused approach to dental surgery, ensuring each treatment is clinically justified and aligned with Medisave requirements. From your first consultation through to recovery, our dentists guide you clearly at every stage.
We help patients understand what Medisave can be used for, what is not covered, and how the claims process works, allowing you to make informed decisions with confidence.
Understanding Medisave for Dental Treatment
Medisave is part of Singapore’s CPF healthcare framework and can be used for specific dental procedures that involve surgery and meet regulatory guidelines.
Only surgical dental treatments that are medically indicated may qualify. Routine dental care and cosmetic procedures are not claimable under Medisave.
At Kent Dental Works, our dentists explain Medisave eligibility clearly and ensure that any recommended treatment is properly assessed and documented.
Who Is Eligible to Use Medisave for Dental Surgery?
Before planning dental surgery, it is important to confirm whether you meet Medisave eligibility criteria. Not all dental treatments qualify, and eligibility depends on both patient status and clinical indication.
You may be eligible to use Medisave if:
- You are a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident
- You have a sufficient Medisave balance
- The procedure is medically indicated and surgical in nature
- The treatment is performed at a Medisave-approved dental clinic
Immediate family members may also authorise the use of their Medisave balance, subject to CPF rules.
Eligibility is reviewed during your consultation so you can proceed with clarity and confidence.
Medisave Claimable Dental Procedures
Medisave can only be used for dental procedures that involve surgery and are considered clinically necessary. These treatments typically address impacted teeth, structural issues, or advanced dental conditions.
Common Surgical Treatments Covered by Medisave
Medisave may be used for the following procedures when clinically appropriate:
- Surgical removal of impacted or complicated wisdom teeth
- Dental implant surgery involves surgical placement
- Bone grafting related to implant procedures
- Surgical removal of fractured or retained tooth roots
- Gum surgery for advanced periodontal disease
Where a tooth needs replacing, dental implants in Singapore are one of the options your dentist can assess with you.
Patients considering impacted extractions or complex removals can learn more about wisdom tooth surgery and what to expect from assessment to recovery.
Dental Treatments Not Covered by Medisave
Medisave cannot be used for non-surgical or routine treatments, including:
- Simple tooth extractions
- Fillings and root canal treatment
- Crowns, bridges, and dentures
- Orthodontic and cosmetic procedures
Our dentists clearly explain which aspects of treatment are claimable and which are not before any procedure is carried out.
Medisave Withdrawal Limits and Claim Amounts
The amount you can withdraw from MediSave is set by the Ministry of Health and applies per procedure rather than per visit, so a treatment plan involving two claimable procedures is assessed against two separate limits. The limit is a cap on the withdrawal, not the price of the treatment, and any balance above the claimable amount is payable directly.
Medisave withdrawal limits are determined by CPF guidelines and vary according to the type and complexity of dental surgery performed.
Claimable amounts may depend on:
- The surgical category of the procedure
- The level of complexity involved
- Whether sedation or anaesthesia is required
These limits are explained clearly during your consultation so you can plan your treatment and finances with certainty. Any non-claimable costs are discussed upfront.

Comprehensive Care from Consultation to Recovery
Our clinic support extends beyond surgery, with clear pre- and post-operative guidance.
Pre-Surgery Assessment and Clinical Safety
Before any Medisave claimable dental surgery is recommended, a thorough pre-surgery assessment is conducted to ensure the procedure is necessary and appropriate.
This assessment supports patient safety, informed consent, and compliance with Medisave requirements. Dentists take time to explain findings and answer questions so patients can make informed decisions.
Pre-surgery assessment includes:
- Comprehensive oral examination and imaging
- Review of medical history and medications
- Evaluation of surgical complexity and potential risks
- Discussion of treatment benefits and alternatives
This structured process ensures that patients are well-prepared before surgery.
Post Surgery Care and Follow Up
Recovery and long-term outcomes depend heavily on proper post-surgery care and follow-up. After dental surgery, patients receive clear guidance to support healing and comfort.
Our approach to aftercare focuses on continuity, monitoring, and patient education.
Post-surgery care includes:
- Clear written and verbal recovery instructions
- Guidance on pain management and oral hygiene
- Advice on diet and activity during recovery
- Follow-up visits to assess healing progress
Patients are encouraged to contact the clinic if they have concerns during recovery.
How the Medisave Claim Process Works
Using Medisave for dental surgery can feel complex without proper guidance. Our clinic supports patients through each step of the process.
The typical Medisave claim process includes:
- Consultation and eligibility assessment
- Explanation of claimable amounts and limits
- Completion of required Medisave forms
- Submission of claims by the clinic
- Payment of any non-claimable fees
Commitment to Governance and Ethical Dentistry
We follow recognised standards of clinical governance, infection control, and informed consent. Patients are provided with clear explanations of their condition, treatment options, and associated costs.
This ethical approach ensures transparency, fosters patient trust, and promotes the responsible use of Medisave funds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Surgical removal of impacted or complicated wisdom teeth may be Medisave claimable when clinically indicated.
Medisave can be used for the surgical placement of dental implants, but not for prosthetic components.
Yes. Immediate family members may authorise the use of their Medisave balance, subject to CPF rules.
Claims are typically processed once documentation is complete. The clinic assists with submission to minimise delays.
No. Only Medisave-approved dental clinics are authorised to process claims.
No. Dental fillings are not claimable under MediSave because a filling is a restorative rather than a surgical procedure. MediSave applies only to surgical dental treatment such as wisdom tooth surgery or the surgical placement of an implant. Patients who hold a CHAS card may be able to receive a CHAS subsidy toward fillings instead, and our team can check your eligibility at your visit.
No. Crowns and dentures are not claimable under MediSave, as both are prosthetic rather than surgical treatments. If a crown or denture forms part of a wider treatment plan that includes a claimable surgical procedure, only the surgical portion can be claimed. We set out which parts of your plan are claimable in writing before treatment begins.
Only for surgical gum procedures. Gum grafting and other surgical periodontal procedures can be claimed under MediSave, while non-surgical gum treatment such as scaling, polishing, or root planing cannot. Your dentist will confirm which category your treatment falls into after assessing your gums.
