What changes the price?
- Simple or surgical. A tooth that is fully through the gum is usually simple. One that is impacted or broken at the gumline needs surgical access.
- Which tooth. Wisdom teeth and molars can take longer. Each wisdom tooth usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
- How many teeth. Several extractions are often planned together.
Does SHA pay for extractions?
Basic extractions are generally covered under SHA for civil servants. See what SHA covers.
Should the tooth come out at all?
Not always. If a tooth can be saved, a root canal usually costs less in the long run, because an extraction leaves a gap. If the gap needs filling later, here is what replacing a tooth costs.
