If you have made up your mind to get your wisdom teeth extracted or if you have an emergency that cannot be solved in any other way, here are some things to know about the related costs:
- The costs of simple extraction – wisdom teeth that do not suffer from any special problem, such as incorrect growth or severe infection, the costs can range between $75-$200, with the administration of the local anaesthetic included;
- The costs of more complicated interventions – impacted or infected wisdom teeth might take longer to extract and the complete process might require several visits to the specialist, therefore the costs are also higher, usually $225-$600. The price range is wide because the exact amount will depend on whether or not the extraction site will need to be sutured as well as on the level of sedation needed. If the wisdom tooth has very long, crooked roots or if the tooth has developed underneath the gum, the intervention might require general anaesthesia, which not only prolongs the process, but increases the related costs as well;
