If you have a painful tooth or have been told you need an extraction, one of the first questions you may ask is: “How much will it cost?” The answer depends on several factors, including the type of extraction and your individual dental needs.
Understanding what affects cost can help you plan ahead and avoid surprises.
What Factors Affect Tooth Extraction Cost?
Not all tooth extractions are the same. Several things may influence treatment costs:
Type of extraction
A simple extraction for a visible tooth may differ from a more complex procedure involving:
- Broken teeth
- Teeth below the gumline
- Wisdom teeth
- Teeth with extensive decay
At Dr. Pull It, we believe dental treatment should be simple, transparent, and easy to access. Tooth extractions start at $199 per tooth, whether a simple or surgical extraction is needed. Wisdom tooth extractions start at $350 per tooth, including erupted and impacted wisdom teeth. We focus on straightforward pricing, so patients understand their options without unnecessary confusion or surprises.
Number of teeth being treated
Removing multiple teeth at the same visit can affect the overall treatment plan.
X-rays and evaluation
An examination and imaging help determine the safest treatment approach and identify issues that may not be visible during a basic exam.
Additional treatment needs
Some patients may require additional procedures depending on their specific situation.
Signs You May Need a Tooth Extraction
Common symptoms include:
- Severe tooth pain
- Swelling around a tooth
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Infection
- Wisdom tooth pain
- Teeth that cannot be restored
