Why Can One Wisdom Tooth Cost More Than Another?
A wisdom tooth that is fully visible may be simpler to remove than one that is partly or fully within bone. Because every tooth can be different, an examination and appropriate X-rays are needed before Star Dental can provide a personalized estimate.

Why the type of removal matters
The position of a wisdom tooth affects how the dentist plans its removal. A tooth that has fully emerged is different from one covered by gum or bone, so a single flat fee would not accurately describe every case.
Star Dental evaluates each wisdom tooth separately. That tooth-by-tooth approach helps patients understand which end of the planning range may apply before deciding on treatment.
How to get a personal estimate
Your examination and clinically appropriate X-rays show the number, position, angle and roots of the wisdom teeth. Those findings are used to create an individual treatment plan and estimate.

Why can one wisdom tooth cost about two hundred twenty-five dollars—and another about five hundred twenty-five? At Star Dental, a fully visible tooth is estimated near the low end. A tooth partly or fully in bone may require a more involved removal and land near the high end. Each tooth can be different. An exam and appropriate X-rays show what yours needs. These are self-pay estimates, not a quote.
