How Much are Tooth Extractions? – Dental 4 Less
Question: I know I need to have at least two teeth pulled due to them being broken/decayed. I do not have dental insurance currently, and from what I can tell, there are waiting periods for extractions, and I do not want to continue waiting. So how much do extractions cost?
Reply: Well, the cost will vary from dentist to dentist. There is no one set price for dental care that all dentist charges. Not knowing your state makes it hard to give some cost range. Depending on the placement of and where the tooth is extracted will also affect the cost of extractions. To try and give you some idea: An average tooth removal (nonsurgical) done by a family/general dentist can range from $75.00 to $300.00 a tooth. A surgical extraction utilizing anesthesia can run around $185.00 to $700.00 a tooth. You can see how the price can vary. I would suggest looking for an HMO insurance plan in your area as they typically do not have waiting periods like many PPO plans, and they will help you save money on the cost of having your needed dental care done by a plan provider.
Other cost-saving options would be a dental discount plan as they typically do not have waiting periods and will help you save money on any needed dental care service provided by a plan dentist.
