Questions patients ask
How much does wisdom tooth extraction cost in Ireland?
A simple non-surgical extraction of a fully erupted wisdom tooth costs €150 to €300. Surgical removal of 1 impacted wisdom tooth costs €350 to €500 (€280 to €400 after 20% Form Med 2 tax relief). Removing 2 to 4 impacted wisdom teeth in a single sitting costs €700 to €1,400, and conscious IV sedation adds €350 to €450 per session.
Can I claim 20% tax relief (Form Med 2) on wisdom tooth removal?
Only if it is a surgical extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth. Under Revenue's Tax and Duty Manual Part 15-01-12, routine tooth extractions do not qualify for Form Med 2 tax relief, whereas surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth (in a dental surgery or hospital) qualifies for 20% income tax relief.
Does PRSI Treatment Benefit cover wisdom tooth extraction?
No. The Department of Social Protection's PRSI Treatment Benefit scheme covers an annual dental examination and €42 towards a scale and polish (or periodontal treatment). It pays €0 towards simple or surgical tooth extractions.
Does private health insurance cover impacted wisdom tooth removal?
Many Irish private hospital health insurance plans cover the surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth when performed by an insurer-approved consultant oral surgeon in a recognised day hospital or accredited clinic (minus any policy day-case excess, once pre-authorised). Routine simple extractions by a general dentist usually need a separate dental policy.
Need an impacted wisdom tooth removed or want IV sedation?
One Dental Council-registered clinic or oral surgeon covering your county contacts you. Nothing is booked until you have a written treatment plan.
