Wisdom Tooth Removal in Tashkent: Cost, Indications, and What to Expect

Wisdom tooth removal in Tashkent typically costs between 700,000 and 2,500,000 sum, depending on complexity. A straightforward extraction of a fully erupted tooth falls at the lower end of that range; surgical removal of an impacted or dystopic tooth — involving an incision, sectioning the root, and suturing — costs more. The exact price is determined by the dentist after a clinical examination and, in most cases, a panoramic X-ray or CT scan.

Not every wisdom tooth needs to come out. Many people go years without any issues and never require intervention. Extraction generally becomes necessary in the following situations: recurring inflammation around the tooth (pericoronitis), decay or damage to the adjacent tooth caused by pressure from the third molar, a cyst or root resorption of a neighbouring tooth, or impaction — when the tooth remains embedded in the jawbone and disrupts the bite or presses on a nerve. If the tooth has erupted straight, is not crowding its neighbours, and causes no inflammation, a dentist will often simply recommend monitoring it.

A simple extraction takes roughly 10–30 minutes: the area is numbed with local anaesthesia, and the tooth is loosened with an elevator or forceps and removed in one piece. Surgical extraction is a more involved procedure: the surgeon opens the gum with an incision, sections the roots if needed, removes the tooth in fragments, cleans the socket, and places sutures. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is virtually painless for most patients; sedation is available on request.

After the extraction, keep a gauze pad in place for 20–30 minutes, avoid rinsing your mouth for the first 24 hours, and steer clear of hot food and strenuous activity. Some swelling of the cheek and mild discomfort over the first two to three days is a normal tissue response. You should seek immediate medical attention — without waiting for a scheduled appointment — if swelling of the face increases, you develop a high fever, or experience difficulty swallowing or opening your mouth.

Prices for wisdom tooth removal vary noticeably from clinic to clinic in Tashkent, depending on the level of equipment, the surgeon's qualifications, the materials used for suturing, and whether imaging is included in the quoted fee. The Dentum catalogue lets you compare dental clinics in Tashkent by rating and verified patient reviews, making it easier to find a surgeon you can trust.

The bottom line: if your wisdom tooth is causing discomfort, pressing on neighbouring teeth, or your dentist has identified inflammation, it is generally better not to delay — the complexity of the procedure tends to increase over time. Book a consultation with an oral surgeon in Tashkent through Dentum: the doctor will take an X-ray, assess the tooth's position, and recommend the most suitable course of action.
