Tooth extraction: prices per tooth in Australia

Updated 31 October 2026

In Australia, a simple tooth extraction usually costs about A$120 to A$400 per tooth, and a surgical extraction about A$250 to A$1,200, with some quotes higher. Wisdom tooth removal is often quoted per tooth at A$380 to A$600 for a simple one. For a quote from a dentist near you, describe the tooth and your situation in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Costs that vary by city

Prices differ by city. In Perth a simple extraction is often quoted at A$150 to A$400 per tooth and a surgical one from about A$360, while Sydney clinics quote simple extractions from around A$150 to A$300. Out-of-pocket costs also depend on private health insurance: one snippet puts the median at about A$325, with excesses from nil to A$750.

Rules and what to check

Ask whether the quote includes the consultation, the X-ray or CT scan and any follow-up visit. For a child, ask whether the Child Dental Benefits Schedule applies, as it is mentioned in one local guide. Tell the dentist about your health history and medicines before the appointment.

Season and timing

October is spring here, and summer runs from December to February. A planned extraction is easier to fit around work in October than in the hot summer months, when many people are on holiday. If the tooth is painful now, do not wait for a better season; book the first available appointment.

What to write in the request

Say which tooth it is, whether it is a wisdom tooth, and how many teeth need removing. Describe the pain and whether you need pain relief during the procedure. Give your city or area, your preferred date and your budget. Mention whether you have private health insurance, and ask about the dentist's experience with surgical extractions.
