The 5 best clinics for wisdom tooth removal in Sydney
Let’s be honest. No one ever looks forward to getting their wisdom teeth pulled. But when one starts pushing against your molars or makes your jaw ache every time you eat, you’ll want the best surgeon you can get.
Sydney is filled with capable dentists, but not all clinics are made equal. Some prioritize affordability, while others go above and beyond with sedation options and luxury-level patient care. If you’re dreading the whole process (and who isn’t?), the key is finding a clinic that combines skill, empathy, and honesty.
Here are the top-rated clinics in Sydney for wisdom tooth removal, whether you need something simple or a full surgical extraction.
1. Sydney Dental Surgeons
Address: Level 7, Suite 702/135 Macquarie St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
Contact Details: +61 2 9221 1530
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday (8 AM to 5 PM)
Sydney Dental Surgeons has been a city favourite for over 40 years and it shows. They specialize in oral surgery and have an entire team that focuses on complex extractions, including fully impacted wisdom teeth.
Patients often praise how thorough the consultations are. Before anything happens, they walk you through X-rays, pricing, pain relief options, and exactly how long your cheeks will stay puffy. The dentists are calm and unhurried, which does wonders for nerves.
Prices fall on the premium end, but you get surgical precision and the comfort of knowing you’re in experienced hands.
The procedure was seamless.
Very pleased I picked Nasser at Sydney Dental Surgeons to extract my wisdom tooth. The procedure was seamless and the price very much affordable.

Competent, technically broadly skilled, and highly competent
It’s unusual to find a dental practitioner who is so competent, technically broadly skilled, is academically as well as practically highly competent and has a genuinely caring chair- side manner. These factors along with a well run practice make the experience that my wife and I have had, feel sure we’ve finally found the care we need. Many thanks to Nasser and the team

2. Pitt Street Dental Centre
Address: Level 2/70 Pitt St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
Contact Details: +61 2 8000 1832
Operating Hours: Monday and Wednesday (8 AM to 6 PM), Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (8 AM to 8 PM)
If you get anxious at the sight of dental tools, Pitt Street Dental Centre feels more like a spa. The reception smells good, the lighting is soft, and the staff are trained to help you breathe through every nervous moment.
Their oral surgeons specialize in wisdom teeth removal under both local and IV sedation, so whether you want to stay awake or nap through the whole thing, they’ve got you covered. The dentists are also honest, and won’t sugarcoat anything for you.
It’s slightly pricier than suburban practices, but the city-center convenience and comfort level more than make up for it.
[His] focus on patient comfort is evident.
Dr. Michael Cai and the team recently performed my wisdom tooth surgery, and my experience was outstanding. He operates with a level of efficiency and expertise that is truly impressive. The procedure was seamless, and his focus on patient comfort is evident in everything he does. He has a great talent for making a potentially stressful situation feel completely manageable. I had full confidence in his care throughout the process, and the excellent results have only reinforced that trust. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier dental care

Very professional.
Emergency appointment given within an hour. We were made very welcome. Very professional. Patient was put at ease and made comfortable. Michael is a very professional and patient dentist. All the staff were wonderful, very empathetic. As tourists from the UK my Dad’s toothache, from a rotten and infected wisdom tooth, could have made our holiday miserable, but instead we were seen so quickly and cared for so well, we are able to continue our holiday. Thank you so much everyone.

3. Sydney Oral Maxillofacial Surgery
Address: Suite 1401, Level 14, Plaza, Tower 1/520 Oxford St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022, Australia
Contact Details: +61 2 9369 2153
Operating Hours: Monday (8 AM to 4:30 PM), Tuesday to Wednesday (7:30 AM to 4 PM), Thursday to Friday (8:30 AM to 5 PM)
For complex or impacted wisdom teeth, Sydney Oral Maxillofacial Surgery is the gold standard. Led by highly qualified surgeons, this clinic handles hospital-grade procedures in a clinical yet reassuring environment.
Patients appreciate that the team gives clear, realistic timelines for recovery and checks in regularly post-procedure. Many note that swelling and pain were far less than they expected.
It’s one of the more expensive options, especially if anesthesia or day-surgery facilities are involved, but for complicated cases, the precision and professionalism are unmatched.
Very tolerably and smooth sailing.
Dr Hammans was so incredibly professional with a gentle, caring bedside manner that made a daunting wisdom teeth extraction procedure very tolerable and smooth sailing. The nurses and staff were also 10/10, if I could give more stars I would! Thank you.

Professional, thorough, polite, and proficient
My wife needed an urgent tooth extraction. Dr Hammermans was professional, thorough, polite and proficient. His staff were extremely helpful and understanding. The surgery even called the following day to make sure my wife was ok. Highly recommended.

4. The Dental Room
Address: 333 Doncaster Rd, Balwyn North VIC 3104, Australia
Contact Details: +61 3 9857 3988
Operating Hours: Monday and Thursday (8 AM to 7 PM), Tuesday to Wednesday (8 AM to 5 PM), Friday to Saturday (8 AM to 1 PM)
The Dental Room is known for transforming one of life’s least glamorous experiences into something almost… enjoyable. From soothing playlists to warm blankets, they go the extra mile to make sure you feel cared for.
Patients love how the dentist, Dr. Shawn, personally explains every stage (from X-ray analysis to healing timelines) and follows up with tips like which side to sleep on post-op. They also emphasize minimally invasive techniques that reduce swelling and recovery time.
The only downside is their schedule fills up quickly, especially for sedation slots. So, if you want a stress-free experience, plan ahead.
Well beyond my expectations.
I’m so glad I found The Dental Room! My experience from the very first appointment has been well beyond my expectations. The level of care and quality of sevice and advice received has been of a consistently high standard. I highly recommend this team of professionals!

Friendly, professional, reliable
Have been a client of The Dental Room for nearly 10 years and have always been very happy with the friendly, professional and reliable care received from all team members during this time. More recently I have been attended by Dr Emily and have found her manner to be very calm, informative, professional and inclusive. Her caring nature and professional skills are very reassuring and supportive.
Highly recommend.

5. North Sydney Dentistry
Address: Level 1, Suite 102/71 Walker St, North Sydney NSW 2060, Australia
Contact Details: +61 2 8090 1108
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday (9 AM to 6 PM), Saturday (9 AM to 4 PM)
North Sydney Dentistry hits the sweet spot between affordability and quality. It’s not a fancy clinic with designer interiors, but the care is heartfelt, the dentists are straightforward, and the results speak for themselves.
Patients often mention how upfront the team is about costs, recovery expectations, and what to eat afterward (soups and ice cream are the go-to). For simple to moderately impacted teeth, it’s a solid choice that doesn’t break the bank.
The practice doesn’t offer deep sedation, though, they stick to local anesthetic and gentle technique. For more complex surgeries, they’ll refer you to a specialist, which is actually a plus for transparency.
Brilliant dentist
The best dentistry team on the north shore by a mile! Dr Kev is so kind and intuitive with nervous patients, plus a brilliant dentist. The Reception team are so helpful- especially Belinda who is super attentive. Would recommend to anyone- especially if you are having trouble navigating healthcare fund queries. Plus super close to metro/train
