Wisdom Teeth Removal Costs in Australia | Sedation | 2026

What Affects the Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal?

Several factors determine the price of your treatment:

• Tooth position & complexity – impacted, angled or buried teeth cost more to remove

• Number of teeth removed – removing all four at once may be more cost-effective than staged treatment

• Type of sedation – local anaesthetic, IV sedation or general anaesthetic in hospital

• Hospital or facility fees – if general anaesthetic is required, hospital and anaesthetist fees are added

• Aftercare & follow-ups – reviews and post-surgery checks are included in any quote given
