How much does wisdom tooth removal cost?

Simple wisdom tooth extraction costs $200–$600 per tooth, while impacted wisdom teeth run $400–$1,200 per tooth depending on bone involvement. Removing all four under IV sedation typically totals $1,500–$4,000. Most dental plans cover 50–80% of medically necessary extractions.

What happens during wisdom tooth removal?

Under local anesthesia or IV sedation, the gum is opened, bone removed if needed, the tooth sectioned and lifted out, then the site sutured. The procedure takes 30–90 minutes for all four teeth. Soft-tissue impactions are simpler than bony impactions.

How long is wisdom tooth recovery?

Most swelling and discomfort peak at 48–72 hours and resolve within 7–10 days. Soft foods are needed for 3–7 days, and most people return to work or school within 2–4 days. Do not use straws for 7 days to avoid painful dry socket.

What are the long-term effects of wisdom tooth removal?

Once healed, the result is permanent — wisdom teeth do not grow back. Bone fully fills the socket in 4–6 months. Successful removal prevents future crowding, infection, and cysts associated with impacted thirds.

Do I need my wisdom teeth removed?

Removal is recommended when wisdom teeth are impacted, decayed, causing pain, infection (pericoronitis), or threatening the second molars. About 85% of adults eventually need at least one removed. Healthy, fully erupted, cleanable wisdom teeth can be safely retained.
