How much does it cost to extract a tooth with and without insurance?
The total amount that you will have to spend on a procedure such as a tooth extraction depends entirely on your coverage. Many dental plans are able to provide anywhere from 50% to 80% of coverage on necessary dental procedures such as an extraction, but to know more accurate estimates, you will have to reach out to your dental insurance provider to see what all your coverage includes. Total costs before or without insurance can be anywhere from $200 to $700 per tooth for extractions that are considered simple and for teeth that are erupted (are visible in the gum line). Extractions of teeth that are impacted (growing at the wrong angle, thus causing damage or complications to surrounding teeth) are a bit more complicated and usually require more anesthesia, increasing their cost per tooth to be averaging around $350 to $550. Both types of extractions can quickly increase in total per tooth (up to over $1,000 for impacted teeth in some cases) depending on how complicated the procedure ends up being.
