Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cost London

At our Medical & Dental clinics in London, wisdom tooth extraction starts from £250 for a simple extraction. Surgical extractions start from £450 and complex impacted cases from £670. SPMD dental members receive a reduced fee (membership terms apply). Your individual fee is confirmed in writing after a clinical assessment and X-rays — we provide a written quote before any treatment goes ahead.

Wisdom tooth removal is priced by clinical complexity, not by appointment length. A fully erupted, healthy wisdom tooth can usually be removed simply; a partially erupted or angled tooth often needs sectioning; and a fully impacted tooth (especially horizontal or deep) typically requires a small surgical access and is more involved. Your dentist will explain which category applies to you after reviewing your X-rays.

The extraction fee covers local anaesthetic, the extraction itself, any required sutures, sterile materials, post-operative gauze, written aftercare instructions and a follow-up review if clinically indicated. Imaging is not included: dental X-rays are charged at £20 per image if clinically required, and a CBCT scan (if needed) is quoted separately. Your assessment and any prescribed antibiotics or pain relief are also charged separately and quoted in advance.

Yes, when clinically required. A dental X-ray is used to assess the position of the tooth and its proximity to nearby structures (such as the inferior alveolar nerve in the lower jaw). X-rays are charged at £20 per image (£10 for SPMD dental members) and are not included in the extraction fee. For some lower wisdom teeth your dentist may recommend a CBCT scan for more detailed 3D imaging — this is charged separately and quoted in advance.

Yes — wisdom tooth extractions at our Medical & Dental clinics in London are carried out under local anaesthetic, which fully numbs the area. You may feel pressure and movement, but not sharp pain. If you have significant dental anxiety or particularly complex impaction, your dentist will discuss appropriate options with you at consultation.

As with any minor oral surgery, wisdom tooth removal carries some risks. These include bruising and swelling, post-operative bleeding, infection, dry socket (alveolar osteitis), and — for lower wisdom teeth — temporary or, in rare cases, longer-lasting altered sensation in the lip, chin or tongue due to the proximity of nearby nerves. Your dentist will explain the specific risks for your case before you consent to treatment.

Most patients return to normal activities within 2 to 3 days, with swelling typically peaking around day 2 to 3 and then settling. Complete healing of the gum and bone takes longer. Your individual recovery depends on the complexity of the extraction, your general health and how closely you follow the aftercare instructions. We provide a 24-hour route to contact us if you have concerns during healing.

our Medical & Dental clinics in London is a private dental clinic, so all treatment is provided privately. If your case is clinically suitable for hospital referral on the NHS, your dentist will be happy to discuss that with you as an option.

For larger combined treatments, including more complex surgical cases, we can discuss payment options at your consultation. Routine extractions are normally paid for at the time of treatment.

Yes. Wisdom tooth extraction pricing is consistent across both our London clinics. The fee for your individual case is confirmed in writing after assessment, regardless of which clinic you attend.
