How much does it cost to get wisdom teeth removed in the US and in Taiwan? My dentist in Toronto charges around $400 CAD per tooth for extractions, and that’s with full general anesthesia. The price is the same here with private insurance and without.

I'm wondering the same. In Germany my wisdom tooth removal took 20 minutes with local anesthesia included. It was fully covered by the regular compulsory health insurance so I don't know the cost, but seems like quite a small operation to me.

  That cost me €500 in the centre of Copenhagen, there are probably cheaper dentists in Denmark. It took a bit longer for me, a second dentist came to help towards the end.

$5 USD (150 NTD) with insurance at a clinic, up to 400 NTD at a hospital. Compared to over $400 USD insured in the US. The cheapest SFO<->TPE flights cost $468. It might not work out cheaper for you, depending on your insurance plan, but it should be thought of as a serious option for all non-emergency operations. http://michaelturton.blogspot.tw/2007/04/life-among-toothless.html?m=1 http://michaelturton.blogspot.tw/2007/04/life-among-toothles...

I have a missing tooth and I'm getting an implant to replace it. Last week I had the post installed. It took about an hour and cost $4200. Insurance covered only the pain meds. After that's healed, I have to get a replacement tooth mounted on the post and that's another $2000ish. I believe my dental plan will cover $1000 of that. I don't understand how an implant can cost $4000. It was an hour of time in a dentist office. It seems about an order of magnitude too much. FWIW, I had two estimates and that was the lower one.

In Bangkok I got two wisdom teeth removed in a single operation with a local anesthesia for $300 without insurance, in a good modern clinic where everyone speaks English.
