Having insurance can cut the cost of wisdom tooth removal drastically but it depends on if the teeth are fully impacted or fully erupted, and most insurance companies generally cap payment amounts between $1000 to $1500. If you have used any of your benefits for the year, you may only have a certain amount left. Your insurance company may also deem the surgery unnecessary and may decline the procedure. If your oral health depends on having your wisdom teeth removed having insurance can help offset the cost, but you will most likely need to pay out of pocket for some. Ignoring impacted wisdom teeth can lead to a slew of other issues which could cost you more in the long run.   For further information about wisdom tooth extractions in Metairie and New Orleans LA, please feel free to contact Canatella Dental.
