Wisdom teeth removal in Australia costs between $150 and $600 per tooth for simple extractions and $400 to $1,320 per tooth for surgical removal of impacted teeth. At Innova Dental in Tasmania, prices range from $396 to $1,320 per tooth.

At Innova Dental, removing all four wisdom teeth typically costs between $1,584 and $5,280 depending on the combination of simple and surgical extractions required. Most patients fall somewhere in the middle of this range. We give you an exact treatment plan and cost at your consultation. Health fund rebates may apply, and we check your cover on the spot. Interest-free payment plans available.

No. Medicare does not cover most dental procedures in Australia, including wisdom teeth removal. However, eligible children aged 0 to 17 may qualify for benefits under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), which can cover up to $1,131.10 over two years. For adults, private health insurance extras cover can reduce the out-of-pocket cost. Innova Dental also offers interest-free payment plans and assists with superannuation early-release applications through SuperCare.

Innova Dental was built on looking after anxious patients. We offer anti-anxiety medication (our most popular option, taken before your appointment), happy gas (nitrous oxide for gentle relaxation), IV sedation (for deeper sedation), and local anaesthetic (the area is completely numb). Our team is trained in stop signals so you are always in control. Most patients tell us the procedure is more comfortable than they expected. Post-operative discomfort is managed with prescribed pain medication and typically peaks at day 2 to 3, then improves rapidly. Across 1,000+ extractions in 2025, zero cases of permanent numbness.

Absolutely. Innova Dental was built on caring for anxious patients. Dental anxiety is more common than most people realise, and our team sees anxious patients every day. We offer anti-anxiety medication, happy gas, IV sedation, stop signals (raise your hand and we pause immediately), and thorough explanations at every step. Many of our most anxious patients tell us they wish they had come sooner. Call us and let us know you are nervous. We will take care of you.

Most patients recover within 3 to 7 days. Swelling and discomfort peak at day 2 to 3 and improve rapidly after that. Most people return to work or school within 1 to 3 days. Full healing of the extraction site takes 2 to 4 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and phone support during recovery.

Yes. At Innova Dental, all four wisdom teeth can be removed in a single appointment. This is the most common approach, especially under IV sedation, allowing you to recover once rather than four separate times.

Common signs include jaw pain, swollen or tender gums at the back of your mouth, difficulty opening your jaw fully, recurring infections, or your dentist spotting impaction on an X-ray. Even without symptoms, impacted wisdom teeth can quietly damage the teeth next to them and the surrounding bone. A consultation at Innova Dental includes OPG and 3D cone beam imaging, so we can give you a definitive answer, not a guess.

In many cases, yes. With OPG and 3D cone beam imaging on-site at our Launceston and Prospect practices, we can consult, image, and where clinically suitable, extract on the same visit. No separate imaging appointments, no weeks of waiting. One visit, done.

No referral needed. You can book directly at any of our three practices by phone or online. We have imaging on-site, so there is no need to arrange external X-rays beforehand. Call (03) 6331 6754 (Launceston), (03) 6220 1374 (Hobart), or (03) 6343 0654 (Prospect).

Problematic wisdom teeth that are not removed can lead to recurring pain and infection, damage to the adjacent teeth (root resorption), cyst formation, jawbone damage, and worsening crowding that may undo orthodontic work. Dental infections from wisdom teeth can spread and in rare cases become serious medical emergencies requiring hospitalisation. If your wisdom teeth are causing symptoms, do not wait.

For the first 1 to 3 days, eat soft, cool foods: yoghurt, smoothies, mashed potato, scrambled eggs, soup (lukewarm, not hot), ice cream, and protein shakes. Avoid anything crunchy, spicy, acidic, or very hot. After days 3 to 5, gradually reintroduce softer normal foods as comfort allows. Avoid using straws (the suction can cause dry socket). Most patients are eating normally within 7 to 10 days.

Innova Dental offers multiple ways to make wisdom teeth removal affordable: interest-free payment plans through Zip, Afterpay, and National Dental Plan; superannuation early-release through SuperCare; health fund claims processed on the spot; and the CDBS for eligible children. We believe cost should never be the reason you live with wisdom teeth pain. Call us to discuss your options.
