In short
- There is no single price: it depends on the complexity of each tooth
- An impacted tooth does not cost the same as one that has erupted
- Number of teeth, position and type of anesthesia all matter
- The X-ray assessment defines the real plan and budget
01Why there is no single price
Every wisdom tooth is different, which is why there is no single price. A tooth that has already erupted and is easy to reach is not comparable to one that is impacted, covered by bone and gum, or close to the dental nerve. Asking "how much does a wisdom tooth cost" is like asking how much a trip costs: it depends where and under what conditions.
That is why you should be wary of a fixed price given over the phone without an examination. The responsible approach is to assess your case with an X-ray and then give you a clear budget.
02What factors determine the cost
The position of the tooth. An erupted tooth is simpler than an impacted one (that did not fully come out) or one lying horizontally.
Root complexity. Curved, long or nerve-adjacent roots require more planning and technique.
Number of teeth. One is not the same as all four; sometimes it is best to do them in a single session, sometimes in two.
Type of anesthesia. Most cases use local anesthesia; some may need sedation, which changes the plan.
Health and gum condition. An active infection (pericoronitis) or general factors can influence how and when we operate.
The real cost is not just the procedure: it is avoiding complications by doing it right the first time.
03Simple vs. impacted: why the price changes
The main difference is here. A simple extraction of a visible, well-positioned tooth is a quick procedure. An impacted tooth — covered by bone or gum — requires a surgical technique: freeing the tooth, sometimes dividing it into fragments to remove it while protecting the bone and nerve, and suturing.
That difference in complexity is what weighs most on the cost. It is also why impacted teeth are best treated by a maxillofacial surgeon: they are precisely the cases the specialty exists for.
04The value of a specialist
Wisdom tooth surgery well planned and performed by a specialist reduces the risk of complications such as nerve injury, infection or fracture. In the long run, that is usually the most economical choice: avoiding a complication is worth far more than the initial price difference.
The real cost is not just the day of surgery; it is doing it right the first time, with X-ray planning and follow-up, so your recovery is smooth.
05How to find out the price for your case
The serious way to know the cost is an X-ray assessment. With it I study the position of each tooth, its relationship to the nerve and the complexity, and give you a clear plan with its budget — no surprises.

·Frequently asked questions
Can you give me a price on WhatsApp?
I can guide you, but the exact cost is defined after the X-ray assessment. Giving a fixed price without examining you would not be responsible.
Is there a fee for the assessment?
Message me on WhatsApp and I'll gladly explain how the first visit works for your case.
Is it cheaper to remove all four together?
In many cases doing them in a single session is more efficient and comfortable, but it depends on complexity. We assess it with your X-ray.
Does the price include anesthesia and aftercare?
When budgeting your case I clearly explain what is included, so there are no surprises. Transparency is part of the care.
