With a larger set of reports, the median is the most stable baseline. It strips out highly subsidised public patients and premium outliers so you can budget from the middle of the market.
Reviewed dataset
Every data point is crowdsourced anonymously from Australian patients. We publish the median, the sample size, and whether the figure reflects a city-level cost summary or a modelled estimate so you can judge how much weight to place on each figure.

Only if it's medically necessary. Medicare won't cover a wisdom teeth removal for cosmetic reasons, but if your specialist can demonstrate functional impairment or medical need, you may qualify for a rebate. You'll need a referral and clinical evidence. The rebate covers part of the fee but you'll still have a gap.
Expect 2-5 days off work, soft foods for a week. Your specialist will give you a personalised timeline based on your situation.
The main risks are infection, nerve damage (temporary numbness), dry socket, and prolonged bleeding. These are uncommon with an experienced oral surgeon. Follow the aftercare instructions carefully.
Check AHPRA registration first. Look for a specialist surgeon with specific experience in this procedure. Get at least two quotes, ask about complication rates, and don't let price alone drive your decision. CostDoc shows what real patients have paid across providers.
