To all the dentists out there?!


Question: To all the dentists out there?
Got cavities filled today, with metal fillings. I'm going to get my last wisdom tooth cut out tomorrow. I have had my other three wisdom teeth taken out about two years ago and I was put to sleep to so this. Tomorrow they said my insurance want pay for me to get put asleep for just one wisdom tooth. If I offered to pay to get put asleep, how much do you think this would cost? Would they work with me on a payment plan? I want to know what I'm going into before I go tomorrow. Please no rude answers, thanks in advance :)

Answers:

You will not likely find an oral surgeon who will accept payments. You can expect a fee of $500 or so for the first 30 minutes of anesthesia and the price is compounded every 15 minutes after that by a set rate per office.

So it can be quite expensive. Try to get it out without the iv sedation if you want to save a lot of money. It's not that bad. You do feel a lot of pressure during extractions though.

I am a dentist



The cost will vary from office to office, as well as the willingness to accept payments, which most will not. I know it's scary to have to have a tooth cut out, but the worst part will be the numbing. Honestly, you will be in and out in no time. From numbing to leaving, I would say no longer than 15 minutes unless the dentist is running behind. It will take you longer to get put out and woken up than the entire procedure will take. Save your money and buy yourself something nice.
