How much does wisdom teeth removal cost?
Overview
Wisdom teeth are often removed to prevent crowding, impaction, infection and damage to nearby teeth. Oral surgeons at Aspen Dental perform both simple and surgical removals, with anesthesia options available for comfort. Many patients choose to remove all four teeth in one visit. Dental insurance often covers medically necessary removal, and financing through 3rd-party lenders can help manage out-of-pocket costs.

Wisdom teeth removal costs
Wisdom tooth extraction cost is primarily based on impaction level—whether the tooth is fully erupted, partially impacted or fully impacted in bone. Fully erupted teeth are typically the simplest and least expensive to remove, while partially or fully impacted teeth require more complex surgical care. Cost can also vary based on anesthesia choice, advanced imaging such as 3D CBCT scans and whether multiple teeth are removed during the same visit.
