One visit or two
Some people have all four out together, others one side at a time. Ask your dentist which suits your teeth, and whether sedation or a general anaesthetic is offered for it.
Check what your removal involves
Four quick taps. You see the likely type of removal, the likely cost, the tax relief and your recovery time. Your number is only asked for at the end, if you want an assessment.
Say one lower wisdom tooth is stuck under the gum: that's usually a surgical removal, typically €250 to €420 at Irish practices, plus €50 to €83 for the x-ray, with 20% tax relief back.
How this is worked out
The likely type of removal comes from what you tell us: a tooth that's stuck under the gum, or partly through in the lower jaw, usually needs a small cut in the gum; one that's through and easy to reach usually comes out whole. The prices are the range Irish dental practices publish for a wisdom tooth, per tooth, plus a panoramic x-ray and, if you pick it, IV sedation. Tax relief is 20% of the removal when it's a surgical extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth. The recovery times are the HSE's. It's a guide to plan with, never a diagnosis or a quote: the dentist decides after an examination and an x-ray.
The cost
| Four teeth | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Four simple extractions | €600 to €1,080 |
| Four surgical removals | €1,000 to €1,680 |
| Plus a panoramic x-ray | €50 to €83 |
| Plus IV sedation, if you want it | €200 to €500 |
| Tax relief, if they're impacted and removed surgically | €200 to €336 |
The recovery
With both sides sore, chewing on the other side isn't an option, so soft or liquid food for a few days matters more. It can take up to 2 weeks to fully recover. Swelling and bruising can last 7 to 10 days, and your dentist may suggest 1 to 2 days off work. Eat soft food for a few days, and don't rinse, spit or have hot drinks for the first 24 hours.
