What is a extraction?
A tooth extraction removes a tooth that's decayed, broken, or causing crowding. Simple extractions (D7140) are done with local anesthetic in 10–15 minutes. Surgical extractions (D7210) involve cutting the gum and sometimes the bone — common for impacted wisdom teeth and broken roots.
Why prices vary
These four factors explain most of the price differences you'll see.
- 1
Simple vs. surgical
Simple (D7140): $120–$300. Surgical (D7210): $300–$650. Impacted wisdom tooth (D7240): $400–$900.
- 2
Sedation
Nitrous oxide adds $50–$100. IV sedation for multiple teeth adds $300–$600.
- 3
Bone graft after
If you're planning a future implant, a socket-preservation bone graft (D7953) adds $400–$800.
- 4
Oral surgeon vs. general dentist
Oral surgeons charge 25–40% more but are required for complex cases (impacted, near nerve, multiple roots).

What insurance usually covers
PPO plans typically cover 70–80% of simple extractions and 50% of surgical extractions. Wisdom teeth removal is usually covered when medically necessary (impaction, infection).

Bring these to your extraction consultation. Most dentists will respect a prepared patient.
- Is this simple or surgical, and what's the difference in cost?
- Do I need a bone graft now if I want an implant later?
- What sedation options do you offer and what's the upcharge?
- Is the follow-up visit included?
How we calculate this: Prices are aggregated from publicly advertised fees and anonymized patient treatment-plan submissions across the U.S. We do not use insurance-network "negotiated rates" — these are real out-of-pocket prices patients actually pay.
