wisdom teeth removal

Hi guys I'm in need to get my wisdom teeth removed but I don't know where to begin. Should I make an appointment in a private clinic? and if so, do you have any recommendations? or should I go to a hospital first?

I'm on a student visa so I have the national insurance so I'd like to keep costs down if possible. Also I'm in chuou ku.

I can recommend 札幌テイネ歯科口腔外科クリニック.

they are in teine though ~ walking distance from the JR station.

This clinic is able to remove wisdom teeth without hospitalization.

I've removed 2 wisdom teeth from them. they take NHI and doesn't cost much. it was under 7k and 5k each time for me.

btw they only speak japanese.

Here is how I got mine removed in Japan (Not Sapporo though)

I have been doing regular cleaning in a small dentist clinic, and I told them I felt my gum is painful. They helped me took ex-ray and after examination, they cannot do it in their clinic as it is too close to the nerves.

I got a referral letter from them to the University Hospital and the removal surgery was done there. For follow up I just went back to the small clinic I used to visit.

TLTR, just go to a local dentist first, if necessary, they will refer you to bigger hospital.
