Which Price Applies to Your Tooth?
Your dentist assigns one of three brackets from the X-ray. Most upper wisdom teeth are simple; most troublesome lower ones are surgical.
Simple
£250 · members £125
Chair time approx. 20–30 min
Tooth fully erupted, upright, roots straightforward. Numbed, loosened and lifted out. Usually the upper wisdom teeth.
- •Fully through the gum
- •Upright position
- •You can see the whole crown
Surgical
£450 · members £225
Chair time approx. 30–45 min
Partially erupted or tilted. A small flap of gum is lifted and the tooth may be divided. Dissolvable stitches placed.
- •Only part of the tooth visible
- •Gum flap that traps food
- •Repeated pericoronitis
Complex / impacted
£650 · members £325
Chair time approx. 45–60 min
Fully buried in bone, often horizontal against the neighbouring molar. Bone is removed and the tooth sectioned for safe removal.
- •Nothing visible in the mouth
- •Pressure or pain in the jaw
- •Damage to the tooth in front on X-ray
What Affects the Price?
Six clinical factors set your bracket. All are visible on a single X-ray, which is why we never quote wisdom tooth removal over the phone.
How far the tooth has erupted
This is the single biggest factor. A wisdom tooth that is fully through the gum and upright is a simple extraction at £250. Partially erupted teeth need a small incision (£450). Teeth still buried in bone need bone removed and are often divided into pieces to come out safely (£650).
Angle of the tooth
Wisdom teeth frequently grow sideways (mesio-angular or horizontal impaction) and push against the tooth in front. Angled teeth almost always fall into the surgical or complex bracket because they cannot be lifted straight out.
Root shape and nerve position
Lower wisdom teeth sit close to the inferior alveolar nerve. Curved or splayed roots and proximity to the nerve make the extraction more technically demanding, which is why we always X-ray before quoting.
Upper vs lower
Upper wisdom teeth are usually easier and quicker to remove because the surrounding bone is softer and there is no nerve canal to work around. Lower wisdom teeth are more often surgical.
Infection at the time of treatment
If you arrive with pericoronitis (an infected gum flap), we may need to settle the infection first for safe anaesthesia. This does not change the extraction fee, but it may mean two visits rather than one.
Number of teeth
Each wisdom tooth is priced individually according to its own complexity. Removing two on the same side in one visit is common and saves you an appointment; the assessment fee is charged once.

A £30 new-patient assessment with X-rays tells you which bracket applies and gives you a written quote. If the tooth needs to come out the same day, we can usually do that too.
