Ready to book your consultation?The cost of wisdom tooth removal varies depending on factors like the complexity of the case and the type of anesthesia chosen, which can significantly impact out-of-pocket expenses.
The complexity of getting your wisdom teeth removed impacts the total cost. Simple tooth extraction, where the tooth is fully erupted and visible, are less expensive.
However, impacted wisdom teeth require an intricate surgical extraction, increasing the expense. Another factor includes the number of wisdom teeth needing removal. An oral surgeon removing one tooth costs less than extracting all four wisdom teeth at once.
Choosing between local anesthesia and general anesthesia also affects the overall cost. Local anesthesia, which numbs just the extraction area, is less costly and often used for simple tooth extractions.
General anesthesia, which puts you to sleep for the procedure, incurs higher costs and is typically reserved for complicated cases or how many teeth that require extraction. The choice depends on your comfort level and the complexity of the procedure.
When you have dental insurance coverage, wisdom tooth removal becomes more affordable. Most insurance plans cover at least a portion of the extraction cost, especially for impacted wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth extractions deemed medically necessary. The amount covered usually depends on your specific policy and the extent of surgical procedures required.
Extraction Type: Simple tooth extractions generally cost less. Your insurance might cover 70% to 80% of the costs.
Impacted Teeth: Surgical extractions for impacted wisdom teeth are more expensive, but insurance often covers a significant portion. Your out-of-pocket expenses could still be $100 to $200 per tooth.
Anesthesia Options: This adds to the final cost if you need general anesthesia. Insurance might cover some, but not all, of these additional fees.
Always check with your insurance provider for coverage details and co-payments or deductibles.
Without dental insurance, wisdom teeth extraction can become costly. You'll be responsible for the total cost, which varies depending on the complexity of the extraction process and anesthesia used.
Simple Extractions: If the procedure is straightforward, a simple extraction can range from $75 to $200 per tooth.
Surgical Extractions: The removal of impacted wisdom teeth involves surgery, which costs from $225 to $600 per tooth. This higher cost reflects the complexity of the procedure and the need for more specialized care.
Anesthesia Fees: Using general anesthesia increases the total cost by $250 to $800, depending on the complexity and duration of the procedure.
For families without insurance, many dental practices offer payment plans or financing options to help manage these expenses. Always ask your dental office for an accurate estimate to avoid surprises.
