<strong>What</strong> <strong>will</strong> <strong>wisdom</strong> <strong>tooth</strong> <strong>extraction</strong> <strong>cost</strong>?<br />
Wisdom teeth are the third molars that usually erupt in late teen or early twenties. Since your<br />
jawbone is fully grown during the late teen years, your jaw-line is too small to accommodate the<br />
new <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth comfortably. When the <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth become impacted, it causes pain,<br />
discomfort and can lead to several issues that require <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal.<br />
Why is it necessary to remove <strong>wisdom</strong> <strong>tooth</strong>?<br />

such as<br />
Pain and difficulty in opening mouth<br />

Even though the process of extracting a <strong>wisdom</strong> <strong>tooth</strong> is same, the complexity of the procedure<br />
differs from one patient to another. The level of complexity in the removal process impacts the<br />
<strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal <strong>cost</strong> in Sydney.<br />
The <strong>cost</strong> of <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal in Sydney depends on the complexity of the case. Some<br />
<strong>extraction</strong>s may be simple and can be performed by your dentist, while impacted <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth<br />
may need to be extracted by an experienced oral surgeon. If the <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth <strong>extraction</strong> is<br />
medically necessary, the <strong>cost</strong> of <strong>tooth</strong> <strong>extraction</strong> may be covered by your dental insurance.<br />
If you are looking for cheap <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal in Sydney, try to remove all four <strong>wisdom</strong><br />
teeth at the same time because some dentists in Sydney offers a discounted rate if your extract<br />
all four during one procedure.<br />
Factors that influence the <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal <strong>cost</strong> include:<br />
Impacted:<br />
If your <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth grow at a different angle or do not erupt, they become impacted. A dentist<br />
<strong>will</strong> recommend you to an oral maxillofacial surgeon to remove impacted <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth, and it<br />
<strong>will</strong> be added to the <strong>cost</strong> of your treatment due to additional consultation fees.<br />
Type of impaction:<br />
The type of impaction <strong>will</strong> also affect the <strong>wisdom</strong> teeth removal <strong>cost</strong> in Sydney.<br />
If a <strong>tooth</strong> partially erupts from the gums, it is called as soft tissue impaction. This type of<br />
impacted <strong>tooth</strong> is the least expensive case to treat.<br />
A <strong>tooth</strong> that is partially encased in the jawbone is called as partial bony impaction, and it<br />
<strong>will</strong> be an expensive <strong>extraction</strong>.<br />
A <strong>tooth</strong> that is completely trapped under the jaw bone is called as a fully bony impaction,<br />
and it is the most expensive <strong>extraction</strong>.<br />
The more complex your impaction is, the more difficult and expensive treatment <strong>will</strong> be.
The number of teeth being extracted:<br />
The number of teeth being extracted <strong>will</strong> also affect the overall <strong>cost</strong> of the treatment. If you are<br />
removing all four teeth during one procedure, it can help you save on sedation <strong>cost</strong>s and<br />
prevent the need for future <strong>extraction</strong>s.<br />
Sedation:<br />
Your level of anxiety and the sedation option you choose <strong>will</strong> also affect the <strong>cost</strong> of your<br />
<strong>extraction</strong>. Local anaesthesia is one of the most <strong>cost</strong>-effective options. There are different<br />
sedation option including nitrous oxide, oral medication and intravenous (IV) to help you achieve<br />
deeper levels of relaxation during complex procedures.<br />
Medication for recovery:<br />
Depending on the complexity of your case, your dentist may prescribe pain medication for your<br />
recovery. The price of recovery medicines <strong>will</strong> also be added.
