Cost of a Dental Extraction in Waterdown
The cost of dental extractions varies depending on your specific needs and whether you have insurance.
With insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically range from $100 to $200+. Without insurance, the cost is usually between $200 and $600+ per tooth, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Accurate quotes require an in-person exam, as treatment plans are tailored to your needs. Here’s a breakdown of the two main categories of dental extractions:
Simple Tooth Extraction
This involves removing visible teeth using local anaesthesia. It’s typically less complex and more affordable.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
More complex, this procedure is needed for teeth that are not fully visible or have broken off at the gum line. It requires precision and expertise, resulting in higher costs.
We’re happy to provide a detailed estimate to submit to your insurance provider or to help you understand your out-of-pocket costs. Let us guide you to the right solution for your needs!
