What is included, and what is not

Pearl lists what a wisdom tooth quote usually includes: local anesthesia, the surgical removal, stitches, instructions and a follow up visit. Often billed separately: IV sedation or general anesthesia, bone grafts, extra pain medication, treatment of dry socket or infection, and 3D imaging.

Most people have all four removed in one visit under sedation, which means one recovery. Recovery usually takes 4 to 7 days.

PPO plans often cover medically necessary removal at 50 to 80 percent after the deductible.

How to judge the quote in your hand

Ask per tooth or all four.
Ask the sedation price separately.
Ask if the teeth are impacted.
Ask if imaging is extra.
Get pre-authorization.

Ways to pay less

Use your dental plan if removal is medically necessary.
Ask about local anesthesia only for simple teeth.
Compare an oral surgeon and a dentist for simple cases.
Do all four at once for one recovery.
