I did mine at The Boulevard, the shophouses opposite Mid-Valley. It is RM800 per tooth but they use Intravenous Sedation, you wont remember a thing. He is a specialist Oral-Surgeon.

The dentist name is Dr. Ling. office is Ling Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Tel no. is 03-22873700. I did it around Feb and March this year. I took out all 4 Wisdom Tooth. Each RM800 he charge so total is RM3200. In Feb I took out 2 from my right side and March took out 2 from my left side.

There is 2 options:

a) Do it in his clinic Intravenous Sedation.
b) Do it in the hospital using General Anasthetic.

I choose option a).

Option a) Intravenous sedatives at the clinic

Intravenous sedatives.
Intravenous sedatives are medications that are used to control anxiety which are administered by way of injecting them into one of your veins ("I.V."). In general, a deeper and more controlled level of sedation can be achieved when using intravenous sedatives as opposed to nitrous oxide or oral sedatives. Typically intravenous sedatives are administered by oral surgeons (as opposed to "general dentists") because they have the specialized training and monitoring equipment need when using these medications. Some intravenous sedatives have an "amnesic effect." This means that when they are used the patient will have no recall or memory of the dental procedure.

Your dentist will need to provide you with specific instructions regarding their use of intravenous sedatives with you and it is very important that you follow them. Usually included in these instructions are rules about not eating or drinking for some hours prior to the administration of the sedative. When intravenous sedatives are used you will need to make arrangements for someone to drive and escort you home after your dental appointment.

Option b) General Anaesthesia at the hospital

Some people have their wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthesia. This means that they are asleep throughout the procedure. This has to be done in hospital, but it's almost always carried out as a day case, requiring no overnight stay. Typically, patients are asked not to eat or drink for about six hours before general anaesthesia. However, some anaesthetists allow a few sips of water until two hours beforehand.

The operation will not start until the anaesthetic has taken effect. It is often necessary to make a small cut in the gum over the wisdom tooth, and to remove some bone so that the tooth can be lifted out. Stitches are usually put in to help the gum heal.

General anaesthesia can temporarily affect co-ordination and reasoning skills, so you should not drive, drink alcohol, operate machinery or sign legal documents for 48 hours afterwards.
