Really depends on the wisdom tooth, some are dead easy, others are really difficult. It not like buying a fridge where they are all the same. Also difficult ones are best done by specialist oral surgeons who will be more expensive but have must more experiance and get better results.

Upper ones tend on average to be easier, lower ones if impacted can be a real mare depends. So the answer to you question is about 60 euro upwards.

eh? last one i got done cost £150 punts back in 2000 so i was thinking more like 500/600 Euro! i will need an oral surgeon as it's impacted.

thing is, there's no immediacy but it does need to be done and i'm trying to budget.

€60 to €120 sounds quite low for an oral surgeon to remove wisdom teeth...

last time i got two out, that was three years ago (they were also impacted) and it cost me €800.
Im getting another out soon, going to the dentist today to get a quote so i will let you know when i get back!

It depends. I had one taken out in DUblin for 90. I also had another one where I had to go under general anesthesia and looked like Marlon Brando for two weeks afterwards.

And then I had two more that cost somewhere in the middle of these two.
