What is the general price for wisdom teeth removal?

General wisdom tooth extraction costs range from $75 to $200 per tooth, as of 2015. In the case of impaction, the type of impaction and the need for local anesthetic can raise the price to $225 to $600 per tooth.

In addition to the extraction cost, using nitrous gas adds $40 to $90, while the option for general anesthesia adds $250 to $800 to the total cost of the procedure.

Most insurance companies pay between 15 and 50 percent for wisdom teeth removal if the extraction is medically necessary. Many dentists also offer package deals or discounts when a patient has all four wisdom teeth removed in the same session.
