How much does it cost to have an impacted tooth extracted in Adelaide?

If you have been told you have an impacted wisdom tooth, you are probably wondering: “What will this actually cost me in Adelaide?” The short answer? Most impacted wisdom tooth extractions in Adelaide range from $450 to $650 per tooth, but your exact cost depends on a few key factors including how deep the tooth is impacted, whether sedation is used, and your health fund coverage.

What Affects the Cost?

Not all impacted teeth are the same. Dentists and oral surgeons classify impactions based on difficulty:

• Partially impacted (tooth is partly through the gum): generally simpler and less expensive

• Fully impacted (tooth is completely trapped under gum/bone): often requires more time, skill, and sometimes surgical access

• Horizontal or angled impactions: may involve more complex removal and higher fees

Other cost factors include:

• Type of anaesthetic (local, IV sedation, or general anaesthetic)

• Need for 3D imaging (like a CBCT scan) for complex cases

• Post-operative care or follow-up visits
