At our Dumas practice, the typical cost for wisdom tooth removal is $2,500, but factors like the number of teeth being removed and the complexity of your case can make a difference in the total cost. Because it’s necessary for your health, this procedure is eligible for dental insurance coverage. Sedation will not be covered, but considering its relaxing effects, it can be a wise investment in your comfort.
You can still find the care you need even if you’re on a budget or if you’re not insured. In addition to dental insurance, our compassionate dental team also accepts:
At our Dumas, TX, practice, your care will be conducted by a reputable periodontist. Because periodontists have extra training focused on the gums, they can lend additional expertise to your surgical procedure.
Whether you have two, four, or eight wisdom teeth, we can coordinate a tailored solution—including sedation and anesthetic.
After your wisdom teeth removal, you’ll need someone to drive you home. Before you go, our Dumas dental team will make sure that you leave knowing everything about the healing process.
For instance, you may need to take antibiotics to prevent infection and keep your gauze in place to allow a blood clot to form. You should also initially avoid brushing around the site of your removed teeth to keep the blood clots intact, and you’ll want to stick to soft, room-temperature foods to minimize discomfort.
It’s typical to experience some swelling and minor discomfort around the site of your extracted teeth, but these symptoms will fade as you heal.
