Anyone knows the pricing of wisdom teeth removal?

Question

It has gotten to the point to where I have to remove my wisdom teeth...the bottom ones anyway because they are starting to bleed on a daily basis and is making my breath not smell too pleasant. I have a part time job and the most that my insurance would cover is only $500. With that being said, on average, how much would it cost to remove wisdom teeth (the two bottom ones). They will not have to be cut out or anything because they are both showing clear as day.

Also, will there be any other fees added to this procedure, like x-rays or whatnot.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I got all 4 removed, and they were compacted, for about $1200.  My insurance wouldn't cover any of it.

Hi there! It totally depends on what your situation is. If I were to give you a worst case scenario, and it doesn't sound like this is your case, I would say $800.00 total cost, and probably $300.00 out of pocket. They will charge you for what is called a panoramic x-ray if you don't have a pretty recent one, probably a small exam fee, and the extractions. Like I said, I think $800 is worst case for only two of them, but it totally depends on things like the type of extraction and where you live. I did not add in the fee for anesthesia, but that is usually optional. It definitely sounds like you need to do it asap. Don't let it go too long or you'll end up with an infection! Good luck!
