Wisdom teeth extraction

What is the process of wisdom teeth extraction?

Generally, the wisdom teeth are removed under local anaesthesia. The procedure generally takes anywhere between 15 and 50 minutes. Sutures are placed during the appointment. They dissolve typically after 1-3 weeks from the day of surgery. 

In patients who prefer to be sedated for the procedure, such options and costs associated can be discussed during the initial consultation.

Costs of removing a wisdom tooth can vary, depending on the complexity. In most cases, the cost is $250-$450 per tooth. Our maximum fees for all 4 wisdom teeth are $1,495*, with simpler cases often being less than this amount. This includes oral sedatives (if required). With private dental insurance, your out-of-pocket fees are further reduced.

IV sedation and general anaesthetic options incur additional fees.
Contact us today to arrange an appointment to discuss costs and payment options.
