-
Upper wisdom teeth removals are usually simple non-surgical extractions, so typically the cheapest. Lower wisdom teeth often require surgical removal, so generally cost more.
Prices are quoted before health fund or other co-payments are applied. So your out-of-pocket gap may be much less!
-
Most people require two non-surgical (uppers) and two surgical (lowers) wisdom teeth removals, which costs $1500.
It will be cheaper for fewer than 2 surgical tooth removals, and cost more for greater than 2 surgical tooth removals.

Removing your wisdom teeth stops future pain, infections, and life drama
-
Is the partial eruption of a wisdom tooth, where it gets stuck and can’t fully erupt.
It can get stuck against another tooth or the jaw bone. Often, these teeth are tilted sideways instead of upright.
These wisdom teeth are vulnerable to future complications, causing pain and infection and are best removed.
-
Is inflammation, and sometimes an infection, of the gum around a wisdom tooth.
It usually happens when the tooth is partially erupted through the gum.
It can recur and is one of the most common reasons for tooth removal.
-
Is a hole in a wisdom tooth, usually because they are so hard to clean, being far back in the mouth.
In other teeth fillings can be done. But for wisdom teeth it’s much more difficult and often doesn’t last very well due to their location.
This is another common reason for removal.
-
Less frequently, changes in the bone around wisdom teeth can become problematic, like developing cysts or infections that require wisdom tooth removal to preserve normal jaw anatomy and function.
Not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. Some grow normally and are easy to maintain, some never grow. But for many people, problems do develop. These include:

You may have heard some hectic stories about wisdom teeth removals, but your own story can be better at XO Smiles
You won’t feel any pain during the procedure
We’ve got plenty of LA - local anaesthetic - to make you very numb.
You’ll feel pushing and vibration pressure - like a massage, and hear some crackling-like sound effects in your ears.
Four wisdom teeth typically take about an hour to remove, including the time to make you properly numb.
We like to turn the music up loud - you can choose the tunes that help you feel most comfortable, if you like!
You’ll be dosing up on analgesics and ice packs for a few days
You’ll probably have swollen cheeks like a chipmunk and limited mouth opening, but you will be comfortable.
We have some tips to share with you to help you navigate this part of your recovery as quickly and smoothly as possible.
You’re going to have 3 days off for recovery from work or study
You’ll want to video stream and chill for a few days and not talk very much.
It’s kind of like strapping in for a long-haul flight, except you can choose your soft, mushy food to eat.
Tough exercise sessions that get the blood pumping will be on hold during this time, but light walks are encouraged.
We can provide you with a medical certificate on the day of the procedure if you need.
You’re going to have your own wisdom teeth removal story to share!
Probably it’s going to be far less dramatic than many of the circulating stories we hear about.
With careful planning from us, using the latest imaging technology, and good home care by you - following our simple instructions - you’ll be back to normal life, usually in about a week.
