how much does a tooth extraction cost

The honest answer is that the price depends on how the tooth is sitting, not just which tooth it is. A loose front tooth and a broken-down molar with curved roots are very different jobs, and the fee reflects the time, skill and instruments each needs.

Our current published fees

These are the prices on our online store. The final cost is confirmed after your dentist has examined the tooth and seen the X-ray.

• Basic extraction: ₹1,000. A tooth that is visible, has straight roots and comes out without cutting gum or bone.
• Difficult extraction: ₹2,000. For example, a heavily decayed or brittle tooth that may break, or a molar with spread or curved roots.
• Surgical extraction: ₹4,000. When the gum must be opened, bone removed or the tooth sectioned (cut into pieces), usually with stitches.
• Wisdom tooth extraction: from ₹6,000 for an easy case up to ₹18,000 when the roots lie close to the nerve, with grades of ₹8,000, ₹10,000, ₹12,000 and ₹14,000 in between. See our wisdom tooth extraction page.

What else you may pay for

• Consultation: ₹500 when booked online, or ₹1,500 for an MDS specialist consultation.
• Digital X-ray (RVG): ₹500. This shows the roots and nearby structures and is needed before almost every extraction.
• A CBCT scan (a 3D X-ray) may be advised for a wisdom tooth close to the nerve or sinus. We will tell you where it is done and what it costs.
• Medicines from the chemist, if prescribed.
• Replacing the tooth later, if the gap needs it. This is often the bigger cost and is worth discussing before the extraction.

Is extraction the cheaper choice?

On the day, yes. Compared with a root canal treatment at ₹9,000 plus a crown, ₹1,000 or ₹2,000 looks far easier. But if the gap later needs an implant, our published fee for that is from ₹80,000. So for a tooth that can be saved, extraction is often cheaper today and more expensive over the years. For a tooth that cannot be saved, or one that does not need replacing, extraction is the sensible and economical choice, and we will tell you when that is the case.

Paying for it

• We accept UPI, Google Pay, cash, bank transfer and card. There is no extra charge for UPI, cash or bank transfer; card and netbanking payment links carry a 3% gateway fee.
• Single extractions fall under ₹10,000, where there is no pay-in-advance discount. On larger surgical plans, the discount is capped at 10% because surgery is a specialty item.
• Dental insurance in India rarely covers routine dentistry, and we have no tie-ups with insurance companies. We give an itemised invoice for any claim you make yourself.
