Tooth extraction cost in Australia?

I live in Melbourne and I have one impacted wisdom tooth that needs to be extracted. Any ideas how the prices would be like? Thanks.

Tooth extraction cost in Australia?
In India its about Rs500/ to Rs5000/. It depends on your doctor if he is sophisticated?
Reply:There are so many factors that would influence this.





The main difference (in order of least expensive to most) will be whether you had


1. just local numbing of the tooth(local anaesthetic),


2. conscious sedation (still awake but not caring)


3. General anaesthetic (asleep)





General anaesthetic is the most expensive as you need to pay for the anaesthetist, and for the theatre use.





If your tooth is impacted and a specialist is removing it under general anaesthetic you could be looking at least in the thousand (s) mark.
