Wisdom Teeth Removal Cost
The cost of removing a typical wisdom tooth will vary depending on where you live. Likely the cost would be cheaper if you live in a small town with a small population. If on the otherhand you live in a large city especially on the east or west coast of the United States, you will likely have a much higher cost.
Even so, you should never base your decision of getting your wisdom teeth or wisdom tooth extracted from an oral surgeon based on the price.
One source estimates that the range of the cost is $175.00 to $330.00. [1]
Another source estimates the the range of the cost is $100.00 to $400.00. [2]
You also need to take a panoramic x-ray before any wisdom teeth extraction so that the oral surgeon can look at the teeth, structures, and nerves around it. In my experience this x-ray has cost around $80 to $100.
Another way to determine prices in your area online is to vist http://www.doctoroogle.com. They offer the ability to interacte with oral surgeons in your area. Click on the dental help link on their site after you find and click on your area. This is only available for the United States.
For example, in New York, one oral surgeon estimated the cost per wisdom tooth extraction would cost between $200 to $450.
