Wisdom Tooth Extraction Cost in Seongnam: What Sets the Price

Why there is no single price

Wisdom teeth vary enormously. One may have erupted fully and sit upright, while another may be tilted, partly under the gum, or close to a nerve. Removing them is a different job in each case, and a single flat price would either overcharge the easy ones or hide the real cost of the hard ones.

So the honest answer is that the price is set after your dentist looks at the tooth and its imaging.

Sedation is priced separately

If dental procedures make you anxious, conscious sedation is available. Our published list shows ₩300,000 for general conscious sedation and ₩400,000 for sedation with an anesthesiologist.

Not everyone needs it. Many people have wisdom teeth removed with local anesthetic alone. Tell us how you feel about the procedure during your consultation and we will talk through the choices.

Planning around travel and work

If you are visiting Korea or have a tight work schedule, mention it at the start. Recovery after a surgical extraction can include swelling and a few days of eating carefully, so it helps to avoid booking it right before a flight or an important event.

Aftercare instructions will be explained in English, and you can ask us what to watch for once you are back home or at work.

Questions worth asking at the consultation

Writing these down beforehand helps, especially if English is not your first language. We are glad to repeat or simplify anything, and you are free to take the quote home before deciding.

• Which teeth do you recommend removing, and which can be watched?
• Is imaging needed, and is it part of the quote or separate?
• Would you suggest sedation for my case, and what does it add?
• What should I expect during the first few days of recovery?
