Which tooth/teeth: All four wisdom teeth
Procedure is removal of four wisdom teeth, not impacted, with general anesthesia.
I have insurance, but the maximum payout in a year is $1500.
I am shocked that the quote is $3924 for what was explained to be a routine procedure.

Which tooth/teeth: 3 wisdom teeth/ #01 #16 and #32
I had 3 wisdom teeth (4th tooth never developed) that I needed to be removed before I start invisilign. There were two on the top that was impacted (code d7240) and one at the bottom that was parallel and more complicated (code d7241) I was also put under with general anesthesia. Was told that my procedure took 1hr. Dental savings took off about 25% off the total.

Which tooth/teeth: #1 (top right wisdom tooth)
My tooth was completely erupted and chewing up the partially erupted bottom right wisdom tooth. I don't have dental insurance, so I went to Howard's dental college and paid $60 for the consultation and pan x-ray and $70 for the removal, including local anesthesia. I believe an extraction for an impacted tooth is around $175. I then paid $12 for prescription strength Motrin and $12 for a round of amoxcillin (again, without insurance. My grandmother has a Costco card and they filled it cheap). The doctor and student were friendly and competent and I'm out less than $200 for a procedure I paid for entirely out of pocket!

All partially impacted. Anaesthesia was 800 alone. I was hoping my insurance would pay 50%, but nope. Looks like I'll be pay it all. It was a quick experience and treatment was decent. 480 per tooth, and they used a blood clotting thing to help lower teeth heal.

Which tooth/teeth: 4 Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Oral surgery is now done in an ambulatory surgery center. What was previously done in the office for $2,800 was now quoted at $6,200. Me thinks they know the insurance will pay, so they extract more than just teeth. This is absurd.

Which tooth/teeth: All four wisdom teeth
I had to get all four wisdom teeth pulled, because at least two of them were impacted. The other two were fine, but the dentist suggested getting them pulled also because intact teeth still grow.
Here's a breakdown of the price of everything, including what I paid for OOP (Out of Pocket):
1. Panoramic X-Ray at a small dentist's office: $120 OOP, I had no insurance at the time.
2. Consultation at an oral surgeon: $94 OOP, Insurance didn't cover it
3. Prescription drugs: around $10 OOP, not sure what Insurance paid for there
4. 3 Rounds of Anesthesia: $690
5. 2 Regular Extractions: $512
6. 2 Partial Bony Extractions: $826
What I paid OOP for 4-6: $299.40
Actual Retail Price of Everything: $2,252
What I actually paid for OOP: $523.40
It's not cheap by far, but thank God that my job has good Dental Insurance. If you can get Dental, get Dental. If not, try a discount card. It's more expensive up-front, but you still get decent savings on procedures.

Which tooth/teeth: 4 wisdom teeth fully erupted
Went to an oral surgeon and received IV sedation for the removal of 4 wisdom teeth. The total cost before insurance was $1590; 30 minutes of IV sedation for $440, the two upper teeth at $205 each and the two lower at $370 each. Insurance covered a large portion including the IV sedation so I only paid $272 for everything.

Which tooth/teeth: 1 + 3
One of them popped out and a normal dentist removed them for about $100. Then I had to go back to remove the remaining 3 and it WAS SO expensive. Though it's partially my fault for getting the PPO and got the HMO instead.

I had to pay for an examination. Xrays were necessary as well. The doctor looked at the xray and there was a cyst attached to the tooth I wanted to be pulled.
He said it was common and not to worry. The numbing was fast and whole thing painless.

Which tooth/teeth: 4 wisdom teeth
I was referred to the oral surgeon by my dentist. We told them 2 months ago that we did not have dental insurance. We never informed of the cost until we came and even though I explained that I had a Health Savings Account for medical costs, they would not start the surgery until I went home and came back with a check and paid them on the spot. The cost was never mentioned before my arrival, or any discussion of payment arrangements. Who shows up with $2,625 cash available? I highly recommend you think twice before going to the Syracuse Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery with Dr. Cunningham

Which tooth/teeth: All four
I have great dental insurance right now but unfortunately does not cover sedation. I chose laughing gas bc it was $75 vs $500 for an IV. Laughing gas does not help with awareness. It was the worst experience of my life. However, I knew I was lucky because my dental insurance paid nearly $1000 for the procedure.
