tooth extraction cost
1 Surgical extraction of a tooth can cost $150-$650 or more, depending on the type of anesthesia used (IV sedation typically costs $250-$500 more than local anesthesia), the local cost of living, whether the appointment is on an emergency basis and the type of extraction. To extract the tooth, the socket needs to be gently widened. 2  Sometimes a tooth is so firmly anchored that it must be removed in sections. 3  Swelling and discomfort are common for the first 24-48 hours after a tooth extraction, and should subside completely in four to seven days.
