How much does a tooth extraction cost?

The geographic location of your Aspen Dental office plays a role in determining the cost of a tooth extraction. Dental services in urban areas or regions with a higher cost of living typically charge more due to increased operational expenses.

The cost also depends on how many teeth need to be extracted. Multiple extractions can increase the complexity and length of the procedure, leading to higher costs.

Simple extractions are less costly compared to surgical extractions, which are necessary for impacted teeth or those below the gum line.

A dentist may perform general tooth extractions, however, if you need a more complex extraction, your dentist will recommend you see an oral surgeon for more severe cases, like a wisdom tooth removal, for example. Depending on whether you see a dentist or a specialist will be factored into the overall cost.
