Wisdom teeth removal cost bc
The cost of wisdom tooth removal depends on the tooth’s position, surgical complexity, imaging, anaesthesia, number of teeth and follow-up needs.
The short answer
Wisdom tooth removal is an extraction of a third molar. A tooth that is fully erupted and accessible may require a simpler procedure than one trapped under gum or bone, angled against the second molar or close to a nerve.
How does imaging show the difficulty of wisdom tooth removal?
The dentist assesses the mouth and reviews suitable imaging to locate roots, bone and nearby structures. The plan may include local anaesthetic, gum access, bone removal, tooth sectioning, sutures and post-operative review.
What should a written wisdom tooth treatment plan include?
Ask for a written itemised plan that states which teeth are included, the imaging and anaesthesia planned, medicines, follow-up and what could change the estimate if surgical findings differ.
When does a wisdom tooth problem need prompt dental care?
Seek care promptly for recurrent infection, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, fever or pain around a wisdom tooth. Emergency help is needed for breathing or swallowing difficulty.
What should you ask about wisdom tooth surgery costs?
Ask how difficult each tooth appears, whether a surgical specialist is appropriate, what anaesthesia options mean, and which follow-up visits are included.
