| Lower wisdom tooth extraction | 2,000,000 | 1 tooth |

For difficult cases, the specific price ranges from 2,500,000 to 4,500,000 VND depending on the actual condition of the tooth.

Other Possible Costs
In addition to the tooth extraction fee, your total cost may include some of the following, depending on the condition of your teeth:
| Item | Price (VND) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Examination and Consultation | 100,000 | Free when you use the service at the clinic |
| Apex X-ray | 100,000 | 1 time |
| 3D Conebeam CT Scan | 800,000 | 1 time, only if the doctor needs 3D images |
| PRF for wound healing and pain relief after minor surgery | 2,000,000 | 1 tooth, optional |
| Post-Extraction Laser Therapy | Contact Clinic | Optional |
PRF and post-extraction laser therapy are two optional healing aids. Your doctor will discuss whether or not you wish to use them.
When is a Conebeam CT scan needed?
Most cases only require a standard X-ray. A 3D Conebeam CT scan is only recommended when a 2D scan is insufficient for safe planning, commonly seen in two cases:
-
Wisdom tooth roots are close to the mandibular nerve canal. 3D scans help the doctor determine the precise distance and position between the root and the nerve canal, thus allowing for extraction with minimal nerve damage.
-
Impacted wisdom teeth are deep within the jawbone. 3D scans show the tooth's growth direction and its relationship to the roots of adjacent teeth before surgery.
Why does the cost of wisdom tooth extraction vary from person to person?
Even though they are both wisdom teeth, the cost can vary significantly. Two main factors determine the price:
The tooth's location (upper or lower jaw). At Dental Fam, extracting a lower wisdom tooth costs 2,000,000 VND, higher than an upper wisdom tooth (1,500,000 VND).
The difficulty level of the tooth. Wisdom teeth that have erupted straight and are already out of the gums are priced according to whether they are in the upper or lower jaw. Cases are classified as difficult (2,500,000 VND to 4,500,000 VND) when the tooth has one of the following conditions:
-
Misaligned, impacted, or trapped teeth, especially lower wisdom teeth that are crooked and piercing into tooth number 7, are embedded in the jawbone, or are trapped under the gums.
-
Abnormal root structure: significantly curved, deformed, multi-branched, or brittle.
-
Root structure firmly attached to the jawbone, making extraction more difficult.
-
Abnormally swollen tooth root, larger than the socket containing it.
-
Tooth with a large fracture or break close to the gum, with too little remaining crown for conventional instruments to hold.
-
Tooth with cysts, granulomas, or infections around the root apex.
You don't need to guess which group your tooth belongs to. The doctor will determine it through examination and X-rays, then explain clearly before providing a price quote.

If you choose PRF, add 2,000,000 VND per tooth.
Can wisdom tooth extraction be covered by health insurance?
Dental Fam does not accept health insurance for wisdom tooth extraction. All costs are paid by you according to the publicly available price list above.
Health insurance only covers treatment at facilities with a health insurance contract, and when the extraction is for medical treatment and not for cosmetic purposes. The level of coverage depends on the insured individual and the initial healthcare facility where you registered. If you wish to use health insurance, you should directly inquire with your registered facility about the conditions and procedures.
When considering the two options, you can base your decision on your priorities: the lowest out-of-pocket cost, or a proactive appointment schedule, a pre-determined price, and follow-up by a doctor until the next appointment.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Procedure at Dental Fam
The procedure is performed in the following steps:
-
General examination and X-ray imaging to create the safest treatment plan.
-
Local anesthesia, ensuring complete numbness in the treatment area.
-
Gentle tooth extraction using specialized instruments. For minor surgery, the doctor may make a small incision and suture.
-
Placement of gauze to help form a blood clot.
-
Instructions for aftercare and prescription of medication if needed before you leave.
Most wisdom tooth extractions take about 20 to 40 minutes, some even faster. You will feel pressure during the procedure, but it will not be painful.
Post-Extraction Care
After extraction, you should:
-
Gently bite down on the gauze for the first hour.
-
Avoid strong rinsing and eat soft foods for one to two days.
-
Do not smoke or use a straw while the extraction site is healing.
-
Contact the clinic if you experience increasing pain or swelling after a few days.
