How much does a tooth extraction cost?
Quick answer
How much does it cost to have a tooth extracted in the UK?
At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, a simple extraction starts from £190.
Surgical extractions are from £395, specialist extractions from £295, and an impacted wisdom tooth from £495. The exact fee depends on the tooth, how deep its roots go and whether the gum needs to be opened. You receive a written quote after examination and any X-rays, and 0% finance is available on selected plans.
Why would a tooth need removing?
Usually because it is too decayed or infected to save, broken or split, or has a root with a poor prognosis. Space for straightening is another reason. Not every sore tooth needs pulling — we first check whether it can be kept, often with a root canal instead.
What makes the price go up?
A tooth still under the gum or angled in (an impacted wisdom tooth) needs more surgery, so it is quoted higher. Multiple teeth, or an out-of-hours visit (from £185), are quoted separately. A specialist assessment with an oral surgeon is £90.
Simple, surgical or specialist?
A simple extraction removes a tooth you can see, through its socket, from £190. A surgical extraction (from £395) may open the gum and remove a little bone. Complex cases are referred for specialist extraction from £295. Read simple vs surgical extractions for what each involves.
How much time off will I need?
A simple extraction is often a few hours; surgical or wisdom teeth can be a day or two. We tell you before you book, not after you are numb. Recovery guidance is on our extraction aftercare guide.
