oralsurgery
What affects the cost of wisdom tooth removal, and how insurance and CDCP coverage may apply. Plain-language guidance from our South Surrey team.
Cost is one of the first things people ask about before an extraction. While every case is different, here is how pricing and coverage generally work. We will always explain your fees before treatment begins.
What affects the cost?
- How many teeth are being removed
- How the tooth is positioned (fully erupted, partly covered or impacted)
- Whether imaging such as Cone Beam 3D is needed
- The type of sedation or comfort option
Does insurance cover wisdom tooth removal?
Many private plans cover some or all of an extraction, depending on your plan and the reason for treatment. Coverage varies, so it helps to check your plan details or let our team help you review them.
What about CDCP?
Eligible patients may have coverage through the Canadian Dental Care Plan. See our page on dental insurance and CDCP coverage for current information.
How to avoid surprises
- Book a consultation and imaging first
- Ask for a written treatment plan
- Review insurance coverage before treatment
- Ask about the comfort and sedation options available
