Introduction

Generally, there are several methods for wisdom tooth extraction: flap surgery with incision, elevation method, and minimally invasive extraction. The corresponding costs are as follows: flap surgery with incision, 800–1,000 yuan per tooth; elevation method, 300–800 yuan per tooth; minimally invasive extraction, 500–1,800 yuan per tooth. The cost of wisdom tooth extraction is influenced by factors such as the position of the wisdom tooth, oral condition, and regional differences.

Generally, there are several methods for wisdom tooth extraction: flap surgery, elevator technique, and minimally invasive extraction. The corresponding costs are as follows: flap surgery, 800–1000 RMB per tooth; elevator technique, 300–800 RMB per tooth; and minimally invasive extraction, 500–1800 RMB per tooth. The cost of wisdom tooth removal is influenced by factors such as the position of the tooth, oral health condition, and regional differences.

Methods of Wisdom Tooth Extraction and Reference Pricing Analysis:

Comparison Item / Method	Flap Surgery	Elevator Technique	Minimally Invasive Extraction
Reference Price	800–1000 RMB/tooth	300–800 RMB/tooth	500–1800 RMB/tooth
Principle	The gum tissue around the wisdom tooth is incised and lifted to expose the tooth for removal.	A dental elevator is inserted between the tooth root and alveolar bone. Using wedging, levering, and rotating motions with the alveolar bone as a fulcrum, the tooth is loosened and extracted from the socket.	Fine minimally invasive instruments, such as ultrasonic bone cutters, are used to minimize gum incisions and bone removal while extracting the tooth from the socket.
Suitable Cases	Impacted wisdom teeth	Low-impacted wisdom teeth	All types of wisdom teeth
Recovery Time	7–10 days	7–14 days	7–15 days
Risks	1. Infection 2. Nerve damage	1. Pain 2. Damage to adjacent teeth	1. Bleeding 2. Lip numbness

Factors Affecting Cost:

1. Tooth Position: Differences in the location and severity of impaction affect the difficulty of extraction, thus influencing the price.

2. Oral Health Condition: The patient’s specific oral condition affects the cost. If additional oral diseases are present, preliminary treatments may be required, increasing the overall cost.

3. Regional Differences: Economic development levels vary by region, affecting the cost of wisdom tooth extraction. Typically, prices in first- and second-tier cities are higher than in third- and fourth-tier cities, although procedures and service quality are generally better in larger cities.

It is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility and choose the most suitable extraction method under professional guidance. After extraction, avoid consuming cold, spicy, or irritating foods such as ice cream, Sichuan pepper, or chili peppers, as they may hinder healing.
