How much do an impacted wisdom teeth extraction costs?
The rough estimate of the cost that a patient may incur to have his wisdom tooth extracted is $175-330 (through an unscientific survey) in case of a soft tissue impaction. Wisdom teeth with the presence of bony impactions can cost nearly twice as much as this. The sources of the survey included the web, dental literature, dentists, oral surgeons and information from dental insurance companies. On the basis of ACCRA’s cost of living index (CLI), extrapolation of the region to nationwide data has resulted in above estimate for the average fee range. This fee may vary up to 30% for the same procedure by different dentists in the same area. The lower end ($175) represents the average in a small rural town (ACCRA CLI is roughly 85) and the higher end ($330) represents the average in a large metropolitan area (ACCRA CLI is roughly 125).
