Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal

We Make Third Molar Extractions Affordable

There simply is not enough room in the average mouth for an extra set of molars. This is why the surgeons at Oral Surgery Specialists of Oklahoma and other dental professionals recommend having third molars removed. Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that we regularly perform in the comfort of our office in Oklahoma City.

When it comes to affording your oral surgery treatment, our practice works with you to figure out the right payment method to cover the care you need. To learn more about the wisdom teeth removal procedure and its benefits, visit our Wisdom Teeth Removal page.

How Much Does It Cost to Have Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Our oral surgeons create a custom treatment plan for every patient. We use 3D scans to evaluate the health of your facial bones and tissues, and to evaluate the size and position of your wisdom teeth.

It is common to develop all four wisdom teeth, however some people develop more than or less than four. This is one factor that we take into consideration when determining the cost for treatment. Other factors include:

• Your choice of anesthesia. We offer local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. Most patients undergo IV sedation for wisdom tooth removal.
• Your dental insurance. Our office is in-network with many insurance companies and will send a claim on your behalf, provided we have the necessary information.
• If there are any impacted wisdom teeth. Impacted teeth are trapped beneath the gum tissue and must be surgically removed, whereas exposed wisdom teeth can simply be pulled out using forceps.
• The overall complexity of your procedure. Patients with more developed wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, or those in need of other procedures may have a longer, more complex surgery.

Our administrative team will walk you through your payment options before you undergo any type of surgery. We have a very knowledgeable team who are happy to answer your questions and provide you with any assistance needed.

Invest in Your Health by Having Wisdom Teeth Removed

Undergoing this procedure as soon as possible saves you from possible costly surgeries down the road. When left untreated, wisdom teeth continue to develop. Their roots become more firmly embedded into the jaw bone, which can make surgery to extract them more complicated.

Due to the partial eruption of impacted wisdom teeth, they are difficult to clean around and can become infected. These infections can progress to gum disease, causing tooth decay to your other healthy teeth. Wisdom teeth are known to push against other teeth, knocking them out of alignment. This can result in bite problems and chronic pressure in the back of the mouth.

Some people believe that if wisdom teeth do not cause pain, there must not be an issue. This is not true, as wisdom teeth can damage your health without causing pain.

These oral health issues require extensive care in the future, and you can avoid them by having wisdom teeth extracted sooner rather than later. While it is most commonly performed on young adults, patients of any age can undergo wisdom teeth removal. Investing in this procedure now will save you money and protect your oral health.
