Insurance Information
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for medically necessary oral surgery procedures. Coverage typically ranges from 50-80% depending on your specific plan. Extractions are commonly covered while more complex surgical procedures may require pre-authorization.
We work with all major insurance providers and can help verify your benefits before treatment. For procedures with limited insurance coverage, we offer financing options to help manage out-of-pocket costs.
Common Questions Asked About Oral Surgery Costs
The cost of tooth extraction varies based on the complexity of the procedure. Simple extractions typically range from £150 to £300 per tooth, while surgical extractions (including impacted wisdom teeth) range from £250 to £600 per tooth. Additional services like sedation may increase costs by £200 to £500. Your specific cost will be determined after examination and X-rays to assess the complexity of your case.
Surgical extractions cost more because they require greater expertise, specialised equipment, and more time to perform. These procedures often involve making incisions in the gum tissue, removing bone around the tooth, sectioning the tooth for removal, and placing sutures afterward. The increased complexity, potential complications, and additional materials required all contribute to the higher cost compared to simple extractions.
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for medically necessary oral surgery procedures. Typically, plans cover 50-80% of the cost after deductibles. However, coverage varies widely between providers and plans. Some procedures may be categorized as medical rather than dental, potentially allowing for medical insurance coverage. We work with your insurance providers to maximize your benefits and can help you understand your coverage options.
Oral surgery procedures performed by specialists typically cost 20-30% more than the same procedures performed by general dentists. This price difference reflects the additional 4-6 years of specialised training oral surgeons receive, their expertise in handling complex cases and potential complications, and the advanced equipment in specialist practices. For complex cases, the expertise of a specialist often provides better value despite the higher cost.
Yes, we offer several financing options to make oral surgery more affordable. These include interest-free payment plans for qualifying procedures, third-party financing through healthcare credit providers, and phased treatment plans when clinically appropriate. For procedures with medical necessity, we can also help determine if medical insurance might provide coverage. Our treatment coordinator will discuss all available options to help make your treatment accessible.
Beyond the surgical procedure, potential additional costs may include: initial consultation and diagnostic imaging (£80-£250), sedation or anesthesia (£200-£500), prescription medications for post-operative care (£20-£50), follow-up appointments, and any necessary adjunctive procedures. Our treatment estimate includes all anticipated costs to avoid surprises, and we'll explain each component during your consultation.
Delaying necessary oral surgery often leads to increased costs in the long run. For example, postponing extraction of an infected tooth may lead to spread of infection, requiring more extensive treatment, hospitalization, or affecting adjacent teeth. Similarly, delaying wisdom tooth removal may result in damage to adjacent teeth, cyst formation, or more complicated surgery later. Early intervention is typically more cost-effective and results in less discomfort and faster healing.
Anesthesia costs vary based on the type and duration: local anesthesia alone (included in procedure cost), nitrous oxide (£50-£100), oral sedation (£150-£250), IV conscious sedation (£300-£600), and general anesthesia (£600-£1,000+). The appropriate option depends on procedure complexity, duration, and your anxiety level. While deeper sedation increases costs, many patients find the comfort and amnesia effect well worth the investment for anxiety-provoking procedures.
