Tooth removal expenses in Perth are subject to several factors, including the type of procedure (simple or surgical), the number of teeth being extracted, and whether you have private health insurance.
If your treatment is less complex, your wisdom teeth can be extracted in the dental clinic, and the cost of the treatment may be more affordable. The cost of wisdom teeth extractions in Australia can range from $600 per tooth to over $3,000 per tooth, depending on the type of treatment you require. A simple removal using local anaesthetic for all four teeth can cost up to $2,322, according to the Australian Dental Association.
If you require IV sedation or general anaesthetic, the cost will be higher. Unfortunately, the cost of general anaesthetic cannot be claimed as part of the Medicare Levy Surcharge, as it requires a medical specialist rather than a dentist. However, with private health insurance, you may be eligible to claim a rebate percentage on the cost of your dental care.
If you’re a single parent or have a low income tier, you may be able to claim financial assistance for your dental care.
And if you’re moving, you may be able to claim a tax deduction for certain moving costs, such as packing materials and removal companies. Just be sure to lodge your tax return by the end of the financial year.
