Oral Surgeon Required!!
 

Well after putting up with a lot of pain these past couple weeks i finally decided to suck it up and make a dental appointment, unfortunately after a thorough exam the news they gave me isnt great, turns out it is my wisdom teeth causing the issues and even though its only one giving me greif, they've recommended i remove all 4 as she feels at some stage they are all going to give me trouble, apparently there isn't enough room for them to come through:(
So yeh, she 's given me a list of oral surgeons and told me to just ring any of them, but i thought before i do that maybe someone on here went through the same thing and might be able to recommend someone?, also cost wise, does anyone know what i'd be looking at? I have insurance however it doesnt cover major dental for another 9 months so that sucks. I figure its going to cost a bit as she said they will remove all 4 at once under general anaesthetic, any advice appreciated :o

I had mine done at a day sergeons in Tuart Hill. Ian Rosenbergh I think was his name, all up was about $2400 and that was about 5 years ago...

Wow $2400!! That sucks lol, although tbh wasnt too far off what i was expecting, how was your recovery? Must of been pretty unpleasant for the first few days

I had all four of mine removed in the chair. Mine were impacted with hook roots, didn't have any issues with pain or anything they gave me plenty of local and lignocaine. got the ones on the left taken out about 6 months before the ones on the right. Much better to get one side removed at a time so you can still eat, open your mouth etc.

Good advice, i will definately bring that up on my consultation regarding doing the 2 on one side first instead of all 4 in one hit, i was told my bottom ones were also impacted

Sometimes it makes me wonder if these dentist get a cut when they "refer" you to these Specialist surgeons, when the procedure can be done in chair at a dentist...

If I was to go through this again and told to see a Surgeon I would get a second opinion from another Dentist...

100 bucks

Haha nice Teejay, do you think hbf would still refund me 40% of that $100 :p
Levans- i could always get another opinion i suppose, though i've going to this dentist for years so i do trust their opinion

Had all 4 done by Rosenberg while under, bit of swelling and similar ball park price figure.

Would go with him if you could...

Stuff paying thousands. I had mine removed in the chair under general dental at Yangebup dental. All were infected at the time. And had hook roots to make the job harder.
The dentist put me on strong antibiotics immediately.
He believes in no pain for his patients.
Can highly recommend your giving him a call.

Cheers for all the advice and contacts so far guys :)

I would seriously look at going to Thailand if you can take the time off work, have a bit of a holiday and come out paying less, I had 3 fillings done the other day, one was about 45% of a front tooth and it cost me $45 all up.

Here's an example.

Not necessarily kick backs for referrals but in the chair can be high risk! This is why having it done in a surgery is much safer, stronger better anesthetics etc!

The Anesthetist is the most expensive part!!!
So it can all depend on the patients history, the issue etc! Each Dentist to their own professional opinion so getting a second opinion won't make a difference!!
I agree with 2 now, 2 later if in the chair but if surgery then go the full hog as will work out cheaper! Note that if you go twice, that's more money!!

Not sure what cover you have, but I had 4 out in surgery and the anethetist was the only part not covered ($1500) back in 2010 - cant remeber the surgeon, but he was based in Maylands. Get used to mushy food for at least a few days if you do have surgery, and book a week off work.

Unfortunately i dont think my insurance will cover any of the costs as it doesnt cover major dental for the first year and i only took out this policy a few months ago, i do have some money put aside and my olds said they would help me out as well ( though id prefer not to take money off them if i can help it ) guess ill just book in to get my mouth xrayed next week and then make a few phone calls and organise a consultation and take it from there, cheers for all the help, will let you know how i get on :o

Brent Allan.

Have had enough family members go through him to pay for a big boat. Other surgeons wouldn't look at some of the jobs as they were too risky. He did them with no problems.

I'm also +1 for getting knocked out and having all of them out in one hit. Easier to recover once than twice.

Can also recommend Alan Quan at Lifecare Dental in Forrest Chase. He's done some amazing work on my teeth recently.
Good luck with it.

Never trust a man with two first names... clears out half the list!

my only advice is to get them done 1 at a time in the chair

cheaper/less mess/quicker to heal/don't have to go under general

my current dentist did all mine in the chair after my previous dentist said there was no was possible way to get them out in the chair & sent me to go & see rosenburg

call me paranoid but going a seeing an obviously very jewish surgeon with my very obvious german surname kinda put me off LOL

go & see my mate michael moussa at scarborough beach dental clinic, his number is 93417898

he is an absolute god of dentistry :cool:

Ian Rosenberg looks 100 years old, when i first went for an initial consulation his hands were so shaky i thought there is no way this guy will not cut up my mouth.

I must say i was wrong. He is brilliant and the surgery was watched by my significant other (she is a dentist) and she said he was really good.

Would go again (thank fark i dont have to). Gets you 5 days of work and playing PS3 though

Bit of an update, i got my x rays done today and, thanks to you guys and your recommendations, have booked in a consultation with Dr Ian Rosenburg, his name seemed to keep popping up in this thread. Couldnt get in for a couple weeks but thats fine, they said after the consultation if i do go ahead with it there should only be a couple week wait, thanks again for all your help, will let you know how i get on :)

Hmmm might give me the excuse i needed to purchase Fifa 13 :D

wisdom teeth
 

if you could fly to India they could do it cheaply for you, please don't watch this before you have your dinner.

Haha that was actually quite interesting, love the part when he says " i've done a lot of technical work, i even repaired bicycles" lol. Good find

Well, i had my consult today with Rosenburg. The first thing that struck me was how old this guy was lol, however he was very friendly and im very confident in him. Cost wise was probably a little more than i expected, to have them extracted at a hostpital im looking at $3500, if i do it at his practice its going to cost me around $2500. In both cases an anesthiest ( if thats how its spelt ) will be used so i ll be knocked out under a general, thank god, the only downside to having it done at his dental surgery is the wait, probably wont be able to get it done till Feb next year whereas going through the hospital i ll be having it done in a couple weeks. I have just finished my course of antibiotics so they're no longer giving me any pain at all, which has got me tempted to try wait and save a grand, so yeh im going to have a think about it and ill probably get back to him next week

Such a procedure coted me over 2000 bucks. And that's not counting braces I had to wear after it... A real disaster. Now I really care about the health of my teeth. I started using natural remedies instead of an ordinary toothpaste. I even bought a [URL="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078H8FJWW"]bamboo toothbrush[/URL] instead of the plastic one to be sure that I brush my teeth in a healthy way.

Wtf^^^^!!!!

Doesn't even ship the bamboo toothbrush to Australia to either, ning nong.
