Fee Schedule

The following is a list of ADA procedure codes with the associated fee ranges.  I find that it is best for the patient to have both the exact fee for the procedure, as well as the financial arrangements made prior to scheduling any appointments with our office.  There are several ways to accomplish these goals.  We may need to discuss these issues together to find what works best for your practice.

Routine Wisdom Teeth Cases

Total Fee Range Procedure
$1809-2840.00 Four 3rds extraction with IV sedation
$1450-2590.00 Four 3rds extraction with oral pre-medication
$1285-2425.00 Four 3rds extraction with local anesthesia/nitrous

In determining the total fee to present to the patient for routine wisdom teeth cases, choose a fee that fits into the above ranges.  In choosing a fee within the fee range, take into consideration the following two factors:  1) the apparent difficulty of the extraction; and, 2) the patient's age.  As the difficulty increases, and as the patient's age increases over 25, choose a higher fee.
