                                               “Honestly speaking, putting off treatment impacts your health, your well-being, and your wallet in the long run. Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Unlike many medical problems, dental problems don’t just ‘go away’ or resolve on their own or through pain pills or simply by antibiotic prescription – unfortunately, the mouth has comparatively less established lymphatic drainage than many other organs of the body – therefore, infection does not get cured so easily – they generally get worse over time. Timely management of dental problems is significant here.

­

The longer you delay taking care of a dental problem the greater the damage to your tooth and its surrounding structures, treatment becomes more involved, you suffer from additional pain, it may turn into life threatening systemic infection sometimes and the solution to the problem often becomes more costly. While we do our best to address your concerns the very same day, we may require to refer you to Specialist for further evaluation and treatment in complicated cases”

Why extraction?

• Severe tooth decay : When teeth have severe cavities, restoring them with fillings or crowns may not be possible. Extraction and tooth/teeth replacement may be the option in this scenario. 
• Advanced gum disease. Advanced stages of gum disease can break down the bones that anchor your teeth. This can destroy the bone, resulting in loose teeth. These teeth may eventually fall out or require extraction.
• Crowded teeth: Crowded teeth occur when there isn’t enough room in your jaw for your teeth to grow straight. Instead, they grow crooked, overlapped, or twisted. Sometimes, your Orthodontist may recommend extracting some of the crowded teeth prior to correcting your crowding with an orthodontic treatment. 
• Vertically cracked teeth: If a severely broken tooth splits into distinct segments, or if the crack extends below the gum line, a dentist may extract it.
• Tooth abscess:  A tooth abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the tip of an infected tooth’s root. An untreated cavity often causes this type of infection. To drain the pus and get rid of the disease, your dentist may need to pull the tooth, although when possible, the first attempt is to salvage the tooth by means of RCT or alternative treatment options.
• Impacted teeth: Sometimes, teeth aren’t able to emerge and remain partially or fully trapped beneath the gums. This may happen if there’s not enough room for the tooth. The third set of molars, also known as wisdom teeth, is most likely to become impacted.
• Tooth Extractions & Cancer: People who are receiving certain cancer drugs sometimes encounter dangerous tooth infections caused by the weakening of the immune system due to the medications. According to expert oncologists, patients who are receiving head or neck radiation might require teeth to be removed if they are in the field of radiation.

• What factors affect tooth extraction costs?

1. 1. 1. Anesthesia – when needed, the type of anesthesia needed can also influence your tooth extraction costs.
      2. Complexity – the type of procedure required also plays a role in the cost of tooth extraction. For example, an impacted or erupted tooth extraction will cost more than a simple extraction.
      3. Provider – depending upon the skills, technique, experience and educational background of the provider, cost of treatment may increase or decrease. Usually, specialists charge more for the same service. We refer our patient to a specialist only when the case would be better served in the expert hands of the specialist. 

Frequently Asked Questions

• How Do I Know if I Need a Tooth Extracted?

If you call our helpline, we can help you determine if your tooth requires an extraction or can be treated with a dental procedure like a root canal or a crown. However, you should only trust the official diagnosis of a recommended practitioner, which will most likely require an x-ray and a thorough examination of the tooth.

• How Much is the Average Cheap Tooth Extraction Cost without Insurance?

The cost of the average tooth removal with no insurance varies from about $ 150 to $ 600 depending on the location of the tooth, the condition of the tooth, and whether or not the tooth has erupted from the gum.

• • Cost for tooth extraction ranges anywhere from $150 to $600 in our office. 
  • These can be affordable as dental insurance helps pay for tooth extraction.
  • Additional costs may include:

1. 1. 1. 1. Diagnostic costs
         2. Exam – Dental examination will always be performed first
         3. Digital X-rays
         4. Treatment options – Treatment can include local anesthesia, or additional fees needed during emergency or after-hours appointment
         5. Aftercare – This procedure would require prescription if needed such as gauze or ice packs

• Do I Need to Take Any Precautions Before Having a Tooth Removed?

Yes. It is important to let your dentist know about your medical history and your current medications prior to the tooth extraction. Give your dentist a list of your medications and include the over-the-counter vitamins and supplements that you ingest. Let your dentist know if you are taking blood thinning medications or aspirin. The emergency tooth extraction with no insurance can be more complicated if you are on medications like blood thinners.

• What are the Risks that are Associated with a Dental Extraction?

Some of the risks associated with a dental extraction include pain, swelling, or bruising at the site of the extraction. Another risk associated with a dental extraction includes delayed healing of the extraction site or even an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. You might also encounter damage to the nerves or to other teeth; however, a 2017 study shows that these more serious symptoms occur in less than 4 percent of patients.

• Can I See My Regular Dentist for a Tooth Extraction without Insurance?

Yes, most tooth extractions without insurance can be accomplished in your regular dental clinic. If your tooth is impacted or there is an infection present, you might be referred to an oral surgeon for the extraction. Many oral surgeons also offer payment plans for patients who are seeking an affordable tooth extraction option.

• Are there Follow-Up Procedures that I Will Need After My Tooth Extraction?

In many cases, there are follow-up procedures that are required following an emergency tooth extraction without insurance. A dental implant, a dental bridge, or partial dentures are some of the choices available for patients after they have a tooth extracted. The procedure cost does not include the restoration following the extraction.

• Do I Need Someone to Drive Me to My Dental Appointment for the Emergency Tooth Extraction?

Depending on the type of anesthesia that you require, you might need someone to drive you home from your dental appointment. If you are given general anesthesia, you might have dizziness or nausea following the appointment. An emergency dental extraction with no insurance does not require a driver if you are not given general anesthesia, unless you feel uncomfortable following the procedure.

• Tooth Extraction Without Insurance: A tooth extraction with no insurance does not have to be a painful experience for your mouth or your wallet.

                          “Whether you choose an oral surgeon or a regular dentist, an emergency tooth extraction with no insurance is much less painful than the suffering with severe pain that you experience when you avoid this simple dental procedure.”

How much does insurance pay for a tooth extraction?

­

Insurance typically covers anywhere from 20% to 80% of tooth extractions when a tooth can’t be Repaired / fixed. 

­

Is a pulling tooth worth it?

­

Although it may not be cheap to do tooth extraction dental surgery, it should not be ignored or put on the back burner. Ignoring the early warning signs of an impacted tooth or tooth pain can only lead to the need for more complicated and expensive oral surgery later on. A painful, damaged tooth never gets better on its own.

• Insurance Friendly Dentist – Tooth extraction cost with insurance is the best way to pay for this type of procedure. – at least in part. Insurance policies will differ greatly but some policies do not cover the cost of extraction unless the teeth are partially or completely impacted, because it can lead to infection and permanent damage if not removed. However, if not impacted, some policies cannot pay for removal. Ask your insurer to find out what is covered. DIVINE DENTAL is insurance-friendly and can accept most PPO plans in Lewisville, Highland Village, Flower Mound, Lake Dallas, Corinth, The Colony, Carrollton, and surrounding DFW Metroplex areas. We can help with your benefits, file insurance claims on your behalf and maximize your benefits.
• Government Programs – Unfortunately, Medicare cannot pay for dental care or procedures. It can pay for inpatient hospital care particularly if there is a dental emergency but it does not pay for the dental care itself. Make sure to review your coverage if you have Medicare. However, good news is that the government is listening to our concerns !! Now, they are offering ‘Medicare Advantage’ Plans that includes dental benefits and it almost works like a PPO insurance. So, in case you’ve a Medicare advantage dental plan, please check with us and we may be able to help you.
• Flexible spending accounts (FSA) – FSA or Flexible Spending Arrangement is a set amount of pretax money taken out of your salary and be set aside purely for healthcare costs.

These are often simple to use with a debit card that you can access all the time. Take note that FSA funds do not roll over to the next year; thus, you want to spend it all up before the end of the year. Learn more about FSA’s here.
• Health savings accounts (HSA) – An HSA is a government-regulated savings account similar to FSA. It allows you to set aside pretax income that can cover for healthcare costs not paid by your insurance. The contributions are tax deductible. The difference between FSA and HSA is that HSA funds roll over to the next year, but it requires you to have high-deductible insurance plans. Find out more about HSA’s.
