I have dental insurance which pays 50% for extractions. I need the upper right molar extracted due to bone problems - the tooth is basically dead. How much should this cost? Thank you

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $150-250
The fee would be between $150-$250 , depends on difficulty of the procedure (if bone and tissue around the tooth needs to be "cleaned" surgically - that''''s a $250).If you decide to come over for extraction - bring the X-ray picture with you if you can. If not - your insurance should cover another one, no wories.Give us a call.Dr. Val
