Like many dental procedures, the cost of a tooth extraction depends on which dental practice you go to and where it’s located. Other important factors include the number of teeth being removed and whether the extraction is simple or surgical. If you look at the fees for tooth extraction in the United States, the average is somewhere in the range of $150 to $400.

Generally, dental insurance will help pay for tooth extraction. We’re in-network with many popular dental insurance plans. If you have an in-network provider, you’ll generally be able to save more on extractions and other procedures.

Surprisingly, the ER isn’t necessarily your best choice for dental emergencies (unless there’s some life-threatening issue such as a jaw fracture). Many ERs don’t have a dentist on staff, nor do they have the right equipment for handling damaged or knocked-out teeth.

Our dental practice can make arrangements to see you as soon as possible if you need emergency dental care. When you call our dental office, we’ll ask about your symptoms, give you first-aid instructions to keep your smile safe, and schedule a time for you to come in for an appointment. We can put together a plan for stopping your pain and repairing any damage that has been done.

There are approximately 50 dentists in the city of Arlington. This can naturally leave you wondering how to figure out which one is the best choice for your family. The key is to look at what makes a dentist stand out. For example, Dr. Atluri is able to treat patients of all ages, which means you can have your entire family seen at a single dental practice. Additionally, we offer Saturday appointments, which is good news for those who might otherwise have trouble finding room in their schedule for dental appointments.

The value of dentistry lies in its focus on prevention. Many dental issues, such as cavities, do not heal on their own; if you want to stop them from turning into major threats to your oral health, you should have them addressed quickly. As such, it’s important to explore any available options that could help you pay for dental care.
