Wisdom tooth removal is a common type of oral surgery that most adults will encounter at some time during their adult life. These third set of molars normally erupt after all the adult teeth have come out and can often cause problems because they may erupt in the following ways:
Wisdom teeth typically come out when the person is 18 to 24 years old. Removing them later than the recommended age makes the extraction harder and thus more expensive, as the bone and root have fully formed over time.
Cost of wisdom teeth removal can range from $75 to $250 per tooth. Impacted wisdom teeth cost between $200 and $600 per tooth. All 4 wisdom teeth removal typically costs around $600 to $1,100. A single wisdom tooth extraction with general anesthesia sedation varies from $600 to $1,100.
Dental insurance helps pay for wisdom teeth extraction.

Although there is no cheap wisdom teeth removal that can produce quality results, you should not ignore getting treated. Ignoring the symptoms of an impacted tooth or tooth pain can develop into a more complicated oral surgery in the future. An impacted wisdom tooth can never get better on its own.
Whether you are asking “How much does wisdom teeth removal cost without insurance?” or you have coverage, we have options for you. Your oral health should not be delayed because of cost concerns. Here are ways to make your treatment more affordable.
Paying for wisdom teeth removal cost with insurance is the most ideal way to cover the treatment – at least in part. Many dental insurance policies include coverage for this procedure. Depending on your plan, insurance may cover 50% to 80% of the cost after copays and deductibles.
Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics is insurance-friendly and accepts most PPO plans. We will provide a benefits check, file insurance claims on your behalf, and handle the paperwork for your treatment to ensure your benefits are maximized.
Unfortunately, Medicare cannot pay for dental care procedures. It may pay for emergency inpatient hospital care, but not the dental care itself. Make sure you do review your coverage as some Medicare Advantage Plans (Part C) offer dental benefits that standard Medicare does not cover.
A Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA) sets aside a fixed amount of pretax money from your salary exclusively for healthcare costs. FSAs are only available through employers offering this benefit, but most employers include FSA in their benefits package. Keep in mind that FSA funds do not roll over to the next year, so you need to use them before the year ends. Learn more about FSAs.
An Health Savings Accounts (HSA) is a government-regulated savings account that sets aside pretax income to cover healthcare expenses not paid by insurance. Unlike FSA, HSA funds roll over year to year, but you need a high-deductible insurance plan to qualify. Contributions are also tax-deductible. Learn more about HSAs.
Check out dental schools near you as they may offer discounted services. These schools have students perform the treatment as part of their practicum. A quality dental school will ensure a board-certified dentist supervises the student providing your care.
Most dental offices have monthly payment plans so you don’t have to pay for the full treatment at once. We don’t want patients to avoid necessary dental care because of cost. We offer affordable options and assistance to help you get the treatment you need.
