Total Removal for $1,200!
We will remove four wisdom teeth for $1,200. We don’t need to see the x-rays. The type of impaction doesn’t matter. Four wisdom teeth = $1,200!
Surgery includes:
- Consultation*
- In-office x-rays as needed
- IV sedation
- Extraction of the 4 teeth (additional fees apply if you have more than 4 wisdom teeth)
- 3 months of routine post-operative care
Most people’s wisdom teeth don’t grow completely into their mouth in a normal position and end up causing problems. You might have a minor problem like food trapping or gum irritation, a moderate problem like cavities or pain, or a serious problem like cysts around the teeth, infection, fever, and/or swelling. We will evaluate your case and give you and honest opinion. If there is no reason to remove the teeth we will tell you.
Sometimes people ask why we remove wisdom teeth that haven’t cause a problem yet. We remove them when we think it’s likely you will have problems based on your situation. We also remove wisdom teeth that are interfering with orthodontic treatment. The earlier we remove the teeth, the younger you are (within reason), the easier the surgery tends to be. The recovery is faster and there are usually less complications.
Speaking of age, we generally think it’s best if the patients are at least 16 years of age when we remove the wisdom teeth. Most people do not develop serious problems from their wisdom teeth before age 16, but many younger patients are very anxious about surgery. Waiting until kids are a little older makes the experience better for everyone.
If there is a specific, good reason, we will remove wisdom teeth on younger patients. Patients younger than 16 must come in for a consultation before the day of surgery and may require anesthesia by a medical anesthesiologist at an additional cost. Be aware, you may pay for a consultation for your younger child and we may recommend postponing surgery. We may decline to do the surgery now even when another doctor has advised having it now.
Finally, please allow a minimum of 2 weeks between any surgery and important events like a trip, interview, social function, etc. Complications are rare but having surgery too close to an important event could mean missing the event.
*Wisdom tooth consultations are $200. The $200 is applied to the surgery price above if surgery is completed within 3 months of the consultation. If the consultation and surgery are on the same day, there is no separate charge for the consultation. More details are here.
