The short answer

Wisdom-tooth removal cost depends on the tooth’s position, surgical difficulty, imaging, anesthesia, number of teeth, and aftercare, rather than the clinic name alone. A fully erupted tooth may be removed with elevators and forceps, while an impacted tooth may require a flap, bone removal, tooth sectioning, and sutures. The plan also depends on proximity to the inferior alveolar or lingual nerve and the maxillary sinus.
