Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal in San Antonio
The cost of wisdom teeth removal in San Antonio depends on a few things:
How many teeth need to come out
Whether they are simple or impacted (stuck under the gum or bone)
The type of anesthesia or sedation used
Your insurance coverage or membership plan
After a full exam and X-rays, we give you a clear, written estimate before any treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
Best Dentist or Oral Surgeon in San Antonio
For many patients, the biggest worry is who is doing the surgery. That is why we’re proud to have Dr. Greene on our team.
Trained in oral surgery procedures and dental implants
Completed a 13-month Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) with focused training in oral and IV sedation
Experienced in helping anxious patients feel calm and safe during care
At our office, you do not have to bounce between multiple clinics. You can have your exam, imaging, sedation, and wisdom teeth removal handled by one trusted team under one roof.
Pain and Procedure Details
Here’s how it usually feels for most patients:
Your mouth is fully numbed with local anesthesia, so you should not feel sharp pain.
You may feel pressure, movement, or gentle rocking, but not cutting or drilling pain.
If you feel anxious, we can use nitrous oxide, oral sedatives, or IV sedation so you feel deeply relaxed.
After the procedure, some soreness and swelling are normal for a few days. Most people feel much better after the first 2–3 days and can return to normal activities fairly quickly. Your dentist gives you detailed aftercare instructions to keep you comfortable and help you heal well.

Your wisdom teeth removal step by step
Here is what a typical visit looks like:
Consultation & X-rays
We examine your mouth, take digital X-rays or a 3D scan, and check the position of your wisdom teeth.
We talk about your symptoms, your health history, and your anxiety level.
Personalized treatment plan
We explain whether your wisdom teeth need removal or can be monitored.
You learn your options for anesthesia and sedation, cost, and timing.
You get a clear estimate before you decide.
Day of surgery
We review your medical history and answer last questions.
You receive local anesthesia and, if chosen, sedation (nitrous oxide, oral meds, or IV sedation).
The dentist gently opens the gum if needed, removes the tooth in one piece or in sections, and places stitches if required.
Most procedures take less than an hour for all four teeth, depending on difficulty.
Going home
We place gauze, review written home-care instructions, and make sure you feel stable before you leave.
A follow-up visit is scheduled if needed to check healing.
Recovery support
We explain what to do for swelling, pain control, and diet.
You learn what is normal and what signs mean you should call us right a way (such as severe pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of infection).
Dental Sedation for Wisdom Teeth Removal
Many people avoid wisdom teeth removal because of fear. Sedation can help a lot here.
At our office in San Antonio, sedation options may include:
Local anesthesia
Numbs the area around the tooth so you do not feel pain.
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas)
A small mask over your nose.
Helps you feel calm and relaxed while staying awake and able to respond.
Oral sedatives
A pill taken before the visit to reduce anxiety and help you feel drowsy but responsive.
IV sedation
Given through a small IV line by a dentist trained in intravenous sedation.
You are in a deeper relaxed state and often remember very little of the procedure.
We review your health history, explain each option in simple language, and help you choose what feels right and safe for you.
