Oral Surgery Costs in Queenstown
$200 – $3,000

Cone beam CT scans ($150–$300) often required to assess impaction angle and nerve proximity; may be done in-house or referred out.

What Happens During Oral Surgery: Step-by-Step
- 1
Consultation and imaging
20–30 minutesYour dentist or oral surgeon reviews your medical history, takes X-rays or cone beam CT scans to assess the tooth position, root anatomy, and proximity to nerves. You'll discuss sedation options and pain control. This is where fears are addressed—ask about the specific approach for your tooth.
- 2
Anaesthesia and comfort measures
5–10 minutesLocal anaesthetic is injected; you remain awake but numb. If you opted for IV sedation, you'll be lightly sedated and won't remember the procedure. Dental dam or gauze protects your airway. Monitors track your heart rate and oxygen.
- 3
Surgical access and tooth removal
15–45 minutes (depending on complexity)For simple extractions, the dentist uses forceps to rock and elevate the tooth. For surgical cases, a flap is raised to expose bone, bone is trimmed, and the tooth is sectioned into pieces for easier removal. You'll feel pressure and hear drilling, but no pain.
- 4
Socket management and closure
10–15 minutesThe empty socket is cleaned and inspected for root fragments. Bone grafting material may be placed to preserve ridge height for future implants. The gum is sutured closed with dissolving or removable stitches. Gauze is placed to stop bleeding.
- 5
Recovery instructions and follow-up
10 minutes (before discharge)You're given written aftercare instructions: ice for the first 24 hours, pain medication, antibiotic prescription, dietary restrictions, and a follow-up appointment (usually 7–10 days for suture removal). Most patients experience swelling peak on day 2–3.
Are You a Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Good candidates
- Adults with impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling, or infection—surgical removal prevents complications and improves bite.
- Patients with non-restorable teeth, severe decay, or root fractures—extraction is the most cost-effective final solution before implant or denture.
- Anyone with a suspicious lump, lesion, or ulcer in the mouth requiring biopsy—oral surgeons can obtain tissue samples with minimal trauma.
- People with angled or horizontally impacted teeth, or those with limited mouth opening—surgical extraction handles anatomical challenges safely.
May need extra assessment
- Patients taking bisphosphonates (for osteoporosis/cancer) or immunosuppressants—your surgeon must coordinate with your doctor to assess risk of delayed healing or infection.
- Smokers or diabetics—healing is slower and infection risk higher; your surgeon may prescribe antibiotics, recommend smoking cessation, or adjust post-op care.
- Patients with severe dental anxiety or previous bad experiences—IV sedation or general anaesthesia is available but requires pre-operative medical clearance and adds cost.
