Cost of Wisdom Teeth Removal

Query wisdom teeth removal

The cost of your wisdom teeth removal depends on the number of teeth to be removed, the type of anesthesia used, your insurance coverage, and other factors. To find out the exact cost of your procedure, we encourage you to schedule a consultation appointment with Dr. Bale at Lakeside Oral, Facial and Dental Implant Surgery.

Investing in Your Oral Health

Having wisdom teeth removed before oral health problems arise is well worth the cost. When left untreated, wisdom teeth can lead to expensive orthodontic or surgical treatments in the future.

Below are a few of the reasons why early wisdom teeth removal is a sound investment:

  • Extracting wisdom teeth can prevent problems like dental shifting, infections, and damage to adjacent teeth or gum tissue.
  • Usually, the earlier that wisdom teeth are removed, the faster the recovery period. This is because smaller, less developed molars, are easier to extract, and younger patients tend to heal faster. Faster healing means less time away from work or school for the patient.
  • There are often less complications such as bleeding, swelling, and discomfort when wisdom teeth are removed at an earlier age.
  • Removing wisdom teeth before any pain or infections develop can prevent suffering from future complications, which is as good for your pocketbook as it is for your overall well-being.

Our pricing for wisdom teeth removal is competitive for the Russellville, AR, region. We work hard to offer the best service at a fair price and accept a variety of insurance plans and payment methods, as well as financing options.

Anesthesia Options

We offer several options for anesthesia and sedation at Lakeside Oral, Facial and Dental Implant Surgery:

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is a numbing medication that is injected directly into the surgical site. It is used in all oral surgery procedures, often in conjunction with other forms of anesthesia. With local anesthesia alone, you will remain conscious throughout surgery, but you will not feel any pain. You will be able to eat a light meal before your procedure and will not require a responsible driver to drive you home. Usually, the only sensation felt during the procedure is some pressure around the surgical area. Simpler surgeries, like some extractions and soft tissue procedures, often require only local anesthesia.

Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is inhaled through a mask around your nose and is used along with a local anesthetic. Nitrous oxide has a pain-controlling and calming effect while allowing you to remain conscious. The effects wear off soon after the mask is removed, so you will not require a responsible driver to drive you home.

(IV) Sedation

Hospital or Surgery Center-Based General Anesthesia is for patients who require more complicated or extensive surgery. A hospital anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia. Usually, patients who have received general anesthesia are driven home the same day as the procedure, but in some cases, you may require an overnight stay in the hospital.

Surgery Center-Based General Anesthesia

Office-based general anesthesia puts the patient in an unconscious state, during which you will be completely unaware of the procedure being performed. During this type of anesthesia, your vital signs will be closely monitored. We usually reserve this type of anesthesia for more complex surgeries such as wisdom teeth extractions and dental implant placement, but you may request general anesthesia for your routine procedure if you are very prone to anxiety about surgery. A designated driver is required to take you home after your procedure if you receive IV anesthesia. Your pre- and post-surgical instructions will provide you with detailed information about all phases of your treatment, including important details about what to do before and after receiving anesthesia and sedation.

Jean Reviews Her Dental Implants Procedure

Watch Review

"My name is Jean, I'm from Danville, and I had some dental implants. I was a little bit nervous when I first came in, but Dr. Bale and the staff make you feel like you're someone and like they really do care. My experience here was wonderful. Surgery changed my life because before, I wasn't happy with my facial features — my mouth — and I have teeth now, and I've got a smile that I feel comfortable about smiling in front of people now. Dr. Bale — he and his staff are fantastic. To all my family and friends in Danville and the surrounding area, I highly recommend Lakeside OMS."
