Tooth Extraction Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

When I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed, I didn't have dental insurance. The total cost was over $800 and that included all four wisdom teeth(one had to be split in half) and general anesthetic.

This article is way off. I personally contacted over 40 dental surgeons across the US and gum-line wisdom extractions were $800-$1200 per-tooth, and gum-line molar extractions were $500-800 per tooth. That's without complications like impacts too. That was with AND without insurance.
Also, I have "the best" dental insurance in the country and it only covers 50% of a procedure tops after a $1,800 deductible..

Tooth extracted on the bottom left, close to wisdom tooth. There wasn't enough bone to support an implant, therefore the oral surgeon planted bone graft in the mentioned area. The whole procedure took about 45 mins all under sedation.

Try being a dog. How can a vet justify charging one thousand two hundred dollars to remove a very easy tooth - loc. antis. -- from a 17 Lb. dog ?

My insurance covered extraction with co-pay of 28 dollars per tooth. (15 cracked, 16 was impacted wisdom tooth in the way). $56 for extraction and $700 for bone graft and and covering membrane. Insurance covered nothing for those items which seem usual and common to me. I'll see if insurance can reimburse at all.

I had and have an oral infection which dentists and doctors kept charging me for visits ad infinitum with ZERO help. I went to Las Algodones, Baja California, Mexico, apx. 13 miles from Yuma, Arizona. I heard there are over 800 dentists, not sure, but there are a lot. I can't pick 2014 below, but I had this done in December 2014.

Almost an emergency;
Tooth lost filing, then broke off 3 weeks later.
Very 'hot'...

U of M Dental school, student in final year with student helper - instructor check it answered question and left. She removed it like she had 20 years experience, instructor came back checked it and said good work. I never had any problems, healed up great. She was good on other work I had done

It's sucks how my dentist charge me much for two molar extraction and he said sinus open need to close..did some stitches and it's costly!

No insurance. Cost includes N2O (nitrous oxide)

I got local anastetic , 10 minutes, he Broke in 4 pieces,took 2 stitches, Price included script for meds ( Hydroasprin) so 500 bucks, 15 minutes x 250 days a year is 4 million bucks a year. I shoulda stayed in school. Still hurts 1 week later

As usual, a dentist robbed me.

I had my wisdom teeth plus one bad molar surgically extracted. I have PPO dental insurance and I didn't go to a in network surgeon, but $1300 for 5 extractions wasn't bad. I HIGHLY recommend being put under IV to extract more than one tooth. I had two other bad molars extracted awake and it was a horrible experience. Plus it only costs like $400 more to be put under and get them all done at once.

Major crack oral surgeon couldn't get me in for over 3 months and it was causing major pain so regular dentist decided to do it for me. Normal fee is $71 insurance cover 80% at $56.80 Leaving me to pay $14.20. Now dealing with dry socket and an infection (which we completely expected thanks to my dental history)

QUOTED 4700.00 TO PULL WISDOM TOOTH.AFTER INSURANCE MY COST IS 2100.00

Insurance covered $1268, I owe $398.

Had to have tooth molar 18 removed. I paid 250 which included the X-Ray exams and local numbing and a tooth removed including a followup to make sure everything is well. In my case, everything is going well with the healing process. I had all of this taken care of at a local oral surgeon office.

X-ray, exam and extraction of left front tooth. It had previously been broken pretty near the gumline, but there was enough for him to grab onto. This was with 1 day's notice, new dentist.
Previous dentist wanted $500 when I called, with no guarantee of being able to pull that tooth. It pays to check around!
This dentist used to be an Army dentist and may be more pragmatic about how to deal with problems. I already wear a bridge so no prosthetic was necessary.

the insurance covered 400.00. I thought just thought that 500.00 was a bit much for a baby tooth being pulled for baby tooth.

A co-worker of mine went to an emergency dentist. Originally, he wanted $1000.00 for extraction! One freaking grand. It ended up her costing $700.00. Total highway robbery.

I had broken tooth and pain so it was emergency appointment
I paid full price $195 without dental insurance
and it included: Emergency examination $37
x ray single film $26
extraction single tooth $132
all in Canadian dollars
