The procedure is called operculectomy. Depending on the practice type (govt or private etc) the cost can vary from few hundred rupees to about 2500 rupees. However, it must be noted that
A. Wisdom teeth are vestigial organs and in vast majority of population serve no purpose. In fact, they only cause damage if oral hygiene is not maintained
B. Operculectomy is not permanent and the flap can recur after few months.
Hence a better solution is wisdom tooth removal
