A lot of people get into my WhatsApp indbox on a daily basis to ask how much we charge for a tooth extraction. Well without wasting time I will dive into the short answers, then expand further for those who stick around. Is that a fair deal?
So the short Answer is :
- Non-Wisdom Teeth: $20–$30
- Normal Wisdom Teeth: $40–$50
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth: $150
Now that we have gotten that out of the way you will realize that there were 2 price points for each segment of teeth.
This is because our prices vary by clinic location, complexity of the procedure. We happen to have 3 locations within Harare, namely Avonlea Dental Clinic , Highfield Dental Clinic and Glenview Dental Clinic. The prices in no way inform Dentist expertise in our case but rather, they are based on different operational costs we incur in different suburbs. So regardless which of our clinics you visit, you will get the same due diligence as far as service delivery is concerned.
Here’s a detailed breakdown to help you understand these costs and make informed choices.
Cost Breakdown for Tooth Extractions
1. Incisors, Canines, and Premolars (Non-Wisdom Teeth)
- Machipisa Clinics: $20
- Avonlea Clinics: $30
These teeth are relatively straightforward to extract, keeping costs low. Clinics in Machipisa generally offer more affordable rates, while those in Avonlea may charge higher fees due to differing operational cost, as covered in a previous section.
The picture below will give a summary of the prices.
2. Normal Wisdom Teeth
- Machipisa Clinics: $40
- Avonlea Clinics: $50
Wisdom teeth in normal positions are trickier to remove than non-wisdom teeth, which accounts for the higher cost. The back-of-the-mouth location often requires more effort.
3. Impacted Wisdom Teeth
- Both Locations: $150
Impacted wisdom teeth often require surgical removal, making them the most expensive to extract. The cost reflects the need for specialized equipment and expertise.
What Affects the Cost?
- Complexity of Extraction:
- Impacted teeth or those with unusual roots need advanced techniques, increasing costs.
- Type of Anesthesia:
- Local anesthesia is standard, but sedation or general anesthesia adds to the bill.
- Clinic Location:
- Our patients usually choose a location which is closer to them. For instance people who live near Highfield Machipisa, Southlea Park, Budiriro, Glen Norah, Glen View, Lochnvar, Southerton and Mbare, usually gravitate to the Highfield Branch. On the other had people who live in Avondale, The Avenues, Avonlea, Mount Pleasant, Westagate, Bluffhill, Sunridge, Malborough, Malbereign and Cold Comfort usually prefer our Avonlea Dental Clinic.
- Dentist’s Experience:
- All our clinicians are qualified , registered and well trained regardless which location you find them. All Clinicians are overseen and supervised by Dr. James Chimutwe (BDS) Algeria.
