About East Auckland
East Auckland is one of the most established and diverse parts of the city, stretching from the waterfront streets of Howick and Bucklands Beach through to the newer developments of Flat Bush and Botany. For residents, having access to quality dental care close to home makes a real difference, especially with kids in tow or a full work schedule.
That is part of why Highland Park Dental Centre has remained a fixture in this community for 35 years. We are here, we are local, and we are not going anywhere.

GOOD TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions about wisdom tooth removal in Auckland
How much does wisdom tooth removal cost in Auckland?
The wisdom tooth consultation, including a full panoramic X-ray, is $95. Surgical extraction, which covers wisdom teeth, from $450. IV sedation is a flat $550 per session. You will receive a clear quote before any treatment is booked.
Do I need a referral to a specialist?
Dr Michael Zhuo performs wisdom tooth surgery in house, including impacted cases under IV sedation, so most patients can have their assessment and surgery done here without a hospital or specialist referral.
Is IV sedation safe, and what does it feel like?
IV sedation is administered by a certified practitioner and monitored throughout the appointment. Most patients feel deeply relaxed during treatment and remember very little of it afterward. It is commonly used for anxious patients and for removing more than one wisdom tooth in a single visit.
How long does recovery take?
Most people return to light activities within the next day. Swelling tends to peak around days two and three before easing. PRF technology is used after surgery to support healing, and a complimentary review appointment is available if needed.
Do you see patients from outside Highland Park?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Howick, Bucklands Beach, Botany, Pakuranga, Half Moon Bay, Flat Bush, Somerville and across East Auckland.
Will I be asleep during my wisdom tooth removal?
Not with IV sedation. You will be deeply relaxed and less aware of the treatment, but you can still respond to simple instructions from the dentist. Most patients remember very little about the procedure afterward. Local anaesthetic is also used to numb the treatment area, whether or not sedation is involved.
Can I drive myself home afterward?
Not if you have IV sedation. You will need a responsible adult to bring you to the clinic, take you home and stay with you during the initial recovery period. If your extraction is done under local anaesthetic only, without sedation, you can usually drive yourself, though this will be confirmed with you beforehand.
