Schedule a tooth extraction today

We keep tooth extraction prices affordable, starting at $179. We’ll help you get the care you need with dental financing and insurance but your total tooth extraction cost may be affected by these other factors.

Exams and X-rays
The final cost of your extractions can be affected if you need X-rays, 3D imaging or any additional appointments before or after your procedure.

State of your tooth
The condition of your tooth, its location and the time it takes to complete procedure can all impact the cost of your tooth extraction.

Procedure complexity
The size or shape of your tooth’s root, as well as if it’s impacted or erupted, affects both the cost and how complex your procedure will be. Simple extractions usually take between 20 to 40 minutes, with more complex extractions taking longer.

Number of teeth removed
You will be charged for each tooth that needs removal, regardless of the type of tooth—molar, incisor, wisdom tooth and others. The more teeth you have removed, the higher the cost will be.

Dentist vs. specialist
The cost of a tooth extraction varies based on who is performing the extraction; specialists will have a higher fee for service compared to general dentists.

Sedation
The type of sedation that’s used—local anesthesia is less expensive compared to intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia—also affects the cost.

The initial healing period for a tooth extraction usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks. This is the time when gum tissue starts to close over the extraction site, the pain lessens and swelling goes down.

Your healing time can vary depending on:

• How complex your tooth extraction was

• Your overall health

• How closely you follow your doctor’s post-operative care instructions.

Complete healing of the bone and gum tissue can take several weeks to several months.
We strongly recommend following your dentist or oral surgeon's instructions carefully to keep your pain at a minimum and to promote proper healing so that there’s limited risk of complications.

After tooth extraction, we recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before reintroducing solid foods to make sure your mouth has had enough time to heal.

Post-tooth extraction, it’s best to choose soft foods that are easy to eat like applesauce, yogurt, mashed potatoes and soup.

While your mouth is healing, it’s best to avoid eating anything hard, spicy, or crunchy. Avoiding dairy post-tooth extraction reduces the risk of bacterial growth and infection, especially 48 hours post-procedure.

Follow your dentist's instructions when it comes to your unique recovery. But typically, you can expect to stop using gauze once the bleeding subsides. This can be a few hours post-extraction.

Your dentist or oral surgeon will make sure you’re as comfortable as possible before, during and after the procedure. To start, they’ll answer any questions you have and address any concerns you have about pain so that you know what to expect.

Your dentist applies an anesthetic to numb the tooth being extracted. Once your tooth is numb, your dentist will carefully extract the tooth and place stitches if needed. You shouldn’t feel any sharp pain during the procedure, instead you might feel pressure during the extraction.

Afterward, they’ll ensure a healthy blood clot is forming and will give you clean gauze to bite on to provide pressure to the area. As a final step, your dentist will discuss how to manage the common soreness and discomfort after the numbness wears off along with details for any medications prescribed.
