TOOTH EXTRACTIONS IN WINSTON SALEM
COST OF TOOTH EXTRACTION
A number of factors are relevant to the final cost of a dental procedure. Each insurance policy is different, and the type of extraction required also has an effect on the price, as well as what is covered by insurance. By staying up to date with preventative care, such as exams and X-rays, you can put yourself in a better position to avoid any overly invasive procedures—the longer an issue goes on, the more costly and complicated it becomes.
Once your procedure is complete, you can get back to business as usual quickly, usually within a few days or a week. However, it’s important to allow the healing process to finish before doing anything that could aggravate it, as setbacks can make your body take longer to heal.
EXTRACTION FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Dentists sometimes need to remove teeth prior to orthodontic treatment prior to orthodontics procedures, however this is becoming less and less frequent. In more severe cases, such as correcting bite problems or facial deformities, oral surgeons often cooperate with orthodontists to address the issues.

WHY WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTIONS ARE OFTEN NECESSARY
Due to the invasive nature of the procedure and the sometimes painful side effects, it’s common for people to question whether they need their wisdom teeth removed, especially since their growth is often painless.
Reasons we take out wisdom teeth:
- Typically more good reasons to take them out rather than leaving them in
- They hurt when erupting
- They can create irreparable defects in surrounding teeth
- Other reasons can be discussed with dentist
While wisdom teeth removal isn’t necessarily right for everyone, the risks of not undergoing the procedure generally lead dentists to recommend doing it sooner rather than later. After looking at X-rays and seeing the positioning of the wisdom teeth, they should be able to give a recommendation on the best course of action.
