What Decides Your Quote?
Every extraction starts from £670 (members from £335). Your dentist confirms the exact fee from the X-ray based on how the tooth is sitting. Most upper wisdom teeth are straightforward; most troublesome lower ones are surgical.

What Affects the Price?
Six clinical factors set your quote above the £670 starting price. 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 the most straightforward case and sits at the "from £670" starting price. Partially erupted teeth need a small incision, and teeth still buried in bone need bone removed and are often divided into pieces to come out safely — these are quoted above the starting price after your X-ray.
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 require a surgical approach because they cannot be lifted straight out, which is reflected in the quote.
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 and quoted accordingly.
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 from £670 (members from £335) according to its own complexity. Removing two on the same side in one visit is common and saves you an appointment; the assessment and X-ray fees are charged once, separately from the extraction.

| Wait for impacted tooth | Days | 6 – 18 months (referral) | Days – weeks |

NHS charges are the 2025/26 England rates and require access to an NHS dentist; impacted teeth are commonly referred to hospital oral surgery with a waiting list. London private figures are indicative of advertised 2026 prices, not quotes from named practices.

A £30 new-patient assessment (plus each x-ray £20, if clinically needed) — charged separately from the extraction, which starts from £670 (members from £335) — gives you a written quote. If the tooth needs to come out the same day, we can usually do that too.
