Save it first

When does a tooth need to come out?

A natural tooth is almost always worth keeping, so the first question at Berala Dental is whether it can be saved with a filling, a root canal, a crown or gum treatment. An extraction is recommended when the answer is no, or when the tooth is putting other teeth at risk. These are the situations that most often lead there.

Broken below the gum

A tooth split through the root, or fractured too far down to rebuild.

Infection that will not settle

An abscess where the tooth cannot be saved with a root canal.

A loose adult tooth

Usually the result of advanced gum disease and bone loss.

Problem wisdom teeth

Repeated infections, pain at the back of the jaw, or decay that cannot be reached.

Decay too deep to repair

Too little sound tooth left to hold a filling or a crown.

Making space

Occasionally before orthodontic treatment, on the orthodontist’s plan.

Two kinds

What is the difference between a simple and a surgical extraction?

$350–550Simple extraction

For a tooth that is fully above the gum. It is loosened and lifted out under local anaesthetic, without cutting the gum.

$850Surgical extraction

For a tooth that is broken off, impacted or has curved roots. A small opening in the gum gives access, and the tooth may come out in sections.

Most wisdom teeth that are still under the gum or bone are surgical extractions. The price follows the procedure, not the tooth: a wisdom tooth is simple or surgical like any other. Read more on when wisdom teeth need surgery →

What it costs

How much does a tooth extraction cost at Berala Dental?

Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing. A written quote with item numbers comes before any treatment starts.

Consultation

Simple extraction

$350–550

A tooth above the gum, removed under local anaesthetic.

Surgical extraction

$850

Broken, impacted or awkwardly rooted teeth, wisdom teeth included.

Charged separately, stated plainly:

Replacing the tooth afterwards, if you choose to: a dental implant is $4,500, planned at a separate $300 implant consultation, or a bridge from $2,200.

Checking the nerve

Why would you need a CBCT scan before an extraction?

The roots of the lower back teeth, and lower wisdom teeth in particular, can sit very close to the nerve that supplies feeling to the lip and chin. A flat X-ray shows the tooth, but it cannot always show how close that nerve is.

A CBCT is a 3D scan that shows the roots and the nerve canal from every angle. Berala Dental uses one for some surgical extractions, most often lower wisdom teeth, to make sure the tooth is clear of the nerve before it comes out. Not every extraction needs one, and when yours does, it is quoted before it is taken.

If the scan shows the roots are wrapped around or pressing on the nerve, that extraction is referred rather than attempted.

Berala Dental is a general dental practice with no specialist on site. Extractions are provided within general practice by Dr Belal Aly and Dr Mahnaz Khan, and teeth lying very close to the nerve are referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

On the day

What happens during a tooth extraction at Berala Dental?

A final checkThe tooth, your medical history and the X-rays are reviewed, and the plan is confirmed with you.
NumbingNumbing gel, then local anaesthetic, given slowly. Nothing starts until the tooth is properly numb.
RemovalA simple extraction is loosened and lifted out; a surgical one needs a small opening in the gum. You feel pressure rather than sharp pain.
Gauze and aftercareYou bite on gauze while the clot forms, and leave with written aftercare instructions.
Check-inIf anything feels wrong in the days afterwards, you call the practice and are seen.

Happy gas can be used alongside the local anaesthetic for anxious patients. You stay awake and relaxed, and the effect wears off after the gas is stopped. More about happy gas →

Afterwards

How do you look after the socket and avoid dry socket?

Dry socket happens when the blood clot in the socket is lost or never forms, leaving the bone exposed. It is painful and slows healing. It is commonly reported in a small percentage of routine extractions and more often after lower wisdom teeth.

For 72 hours, avoid

Smoking and vaping
Drinking through a straw
Hard rinsing or spitting in the first 24 hours
Hot drinks, alcohol and spicy food
Hard exercise
Poking the socket with a tongue or finger

Bite firmly on the gauze after the extraction
Rest with your head raised
Use a cold pack on the cheek on the first day
From day two, gentle warm salt-water rinses, letting the water fall out
Eat soft, cool food
Take pain relief on schedule

Throbbing pain that gets worse two to four days after an extraction, a bad taste, or pain spreading to the ear can mean dry socket. It is treatable, so call Berala Dental on (02) 9649 6468. Read the full dry socket guide →

The other options

Can the tooth be saved instead?

Often it can, and the written plan sets out each option with its fee so the decision is yours.

from $350A filling

Where decay has not reached the nerve, a filling rebuilds the tooth.

$1,800–2,200 + crownA root canal

Where the nerve is infected, a root canal and a crown keep the root in the bone.

quoted in writingGum treatment

Where a tooth is loose from gum disease, treatment can sometimes stabilise it.

Things people ask

What do people ask about extractions?

How much does a tooth extraction cost at Berala Dental?

A simple extraction at Berala Dental is $350–550 and a surgical extraction is $850. A wisdom tooth is priced the same way as any other tooth: simple is simple and surgical is surgical. Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing, and you receive a written quote with item numbers before treatment starts.

Does having a tooth out hurt?

Extractions at Berala Dental are carried out under local anaesthetic, so the tooth is numb before anything starts and most people feel pressure rather than sharp pain. Soreness and some swelling for a few days afterwards is normal. Happy gas is available at $120 for patients who feel anxious.

Do you remove wisdom teeth at Berala Dental?

Yes. Dr Belal Aly and Dr Mahnaz Khan remove most wisdom teeth at Berala Dental, including many impacted ones, at the same fees as any other tooth: $350–550 simple or $850 surgical. Lower wisdom teeth lying very close to the nerve are referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and you are told why.

Why would I need a CBCT scan before an extraction?

A CBCT is a 3D scan that shows exactly where a tooth's roots sit in relation to the nerve in the lower jaw. Berala Dental uses one for some surgical extractions, most often lower wisdom teeth, to check the tooth is not close to the nerve before it is removed. A CBCT is not part of the $120 consultation and is quoted before it is taken.

What is dry socket and how do I avoid it?

Dry socket is when the blood clot in the socket is lost or fails to form, leaving the bone exposed; it is painful and slows healing. To lower the risk, avoid smoking, vaping and straws for at least 72 hours, do not rinse or spit hard in the first 24 hours, and keep to soft foods. Pain that gets worse two to four days after an extraction is a reason to call Berala Dental on (02) 9649 6468.

Can my tooth be saved instead of taken out?

Often it can. A filling, a root canal at $1,800–2,200 with a crown, or gum treatment can save many teeth that look beyond help. Berala Dental checks those options first, and recommends an extraction when a tooth cannot be saved or is putting other teeth at risk.

Will my health fund pay towards an extraction?

Berala Dental will not predict it. Your fund sets what it contributes from your policy and your remaining annual limits. You receive item numbers in writing so you can check with your fund, and claims are made on the spot through HICAPS.
