Wisdom Teeth Removal in Seoul

Call us immediately for a same-day emergency appointment! Severe wisdom tooth pain won't go away on its own and often gets worse. We prioritize emergency cases and can usually see you within hours. Don't suffer through another night of pain - wisdom tooth extraction provides immediate relief. Take over-the-counter pain medication until you can get to our clinic.

Wisdom tooth removal in Seoul costs $150-$300 per tooth depending on complexity. Simple extractions cost around $150-$200, while surgical removal of impacted teeth costs $250-$300. The same procedures cost $800-$1,200 per tooth in the US/Europe. Even with travel costs, most patients save 70-80%. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Modern wisdom tooth extraction is surprisingly comfortable. We use effective local anesthesia, and sedation is available for anxious patients. Most patients say it feels like pressure, not pain. Recovery takes 3-7 days depending on the complexity. You can return to work/school the next day for simple extractions. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and pain medication.

Yes! Many patients choose to remove all four wisdom teeth in one appointment to avoid multiple procedures. The surgery takes 60-90 minutes under sedation. Recovery is only slightly longer than single tooth extraction. This is more convenient for international patients with limited time in Seoul. We monitor you closely during longer procedures.

Impacted wisdom teeth are our specialty. We use 3D imaging to see exactly where your teeth are positioned and plan the safest extraction approach. Even deeply impacted teeth can usually be removed in 30-45 minutes. Early removal prevents future problems like infection, cysts, and damage to other teeth.

Common signs include: pain or pressure at the back of your mouth, swollen or bleeding gums around wisdom teeth, difficulty opening your mouth, bad taste or smell, jaw stiffness, or crowding of other teeth. Our surgeons will examine your mouth and take X-rays to determine if removal is necessary.

Wisdom tooth extraction is very safe when performed by experienced surgeons. Complications are rare (less than 1% of cases) and include dry socket, infection, or temporary numbness. We use advanced techniques to minimize risks and provide detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients heal perfectly with no issues.

You'll need to eat soft foods for 3-5 days after extraction. Good options include soup, yogurt, smoothies, soft pasta, and mashed potatoes. Avoid hard, crunchy, or spicy foods that could irritate the extraction site. Most patients can return to normal eating within a week.

Arrange transportation home (you can't drive after sedation), eat a light meal beforehand, take any prescribed medications, and wear comfortable clothing. Bring a list of your current medications and medical history. We'll provide specific pre-operative instructions during your consultation.

For simple extractions, you can fly 24-48 hours after surgery. For surgical extractions, wait 3-5 days to allow initial healing. Air pressure changes can cause discomfort in fresh extraction sites. Bring pain medication for the flight and avoid using straws which can cause dry socket.

We understand dental anxiety is common, especially for oral surgery. Our English-speaking team will explain everything and answer all your questions. We offer sedation options to help you relax completely during the procedure. Many nervous patients are surprised at how easy and comfortable the experience was.

Most international insurance plans don't cover dental work abroad, but our low costs make treatment very affordable. We accept cash, cards, and offer payment plans for international patients. Many patients find the Seoul cost is less than their insurance deductible back home.

Call +82-10-3220-7928 immediately for emergency appointments. We prioritize patients in severe pain and can usually see you the same day. If it's after hours, leave a message describing your situation and we'll call you back quickly. Don't wait until Monday if you're in pain over the weekend.
