Dental Extractions in Boulder

The cost of a tooth extraction can vary depending on several factors. With typical insurance, the out-of-pocket expense for a tooth removal generally ranges from $100 to $200+. We can provide an upfront quote, which you can submit to your insurance provider to determine your exact out-of-pocket costs. Without insurance, expect to pay between $200 to $600+ per tooth.

Since each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, we can’t give an accurate quote over the phone—an oral exam is necessary to assess your situation. Dental extractions typically fall into two main categories, which can help explain the potential costs:

Simple Tooth Extraction
A simple extraction involves visible teeth and can usually be performed by a general dentist with local anesthesia. This type of extraction is typically less expensive when there are no complications.

Surgical Tooth Extraction
A surgical extraction is more complex and often performed by an oral surgeon in a dental surgery center. This procedure is required when a tooth is difficult to access, either because it hasn’t fully erupted or has broken off at the gum line. Due to the expertise and complexity involved, a surgical extraction tends to be more costly.
