How Much Does An Extraction Cost | Dental Pricing Explained

 When you're experiencing a toothache or simply trying to plan ahead for dental work, it's completely understandable to want a quick quote over the phone. However, at LADD Dental Group and most reputable dental offices, we often can’t provide an exact price for a procedure without first conducting an in-person evaluation — and for good reason.

Here’s why dental pricing isn't as simple as a quick phone call:

🦷 1. Every Mouth is Different

No two patients are the same. Even if two people think they need a "filling" or an "extraction," the actual condition of their teeth, gums, and surrounding structures can vary significantly. Some patients may need a simple filling, while others might require a root canal, crown, or even surgical intervention. Without examining your mouth, there’s no way to know which dental treatment is appropriate.

📸 2. X-rays Reveal the Full Picture

Much of what’s happening in your mouth isn’t visible to the naked eye. Dental X-rays allow us to see:

These details are critical in determining the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment — and they directly influence the cost.

⚖️ 3. Ethical & Accurate Treatment Planning

Providing pricing without a full understanding of your dental condition can lead to inaccurate estimates, misinformation, and in some cases, unnecessary treatment. At LADD Dental Group, we believe in transparency and ethical care. We want to ensure that every patient receives a treatment plan that reflects their unique dental needs, not a one-size-fits-all number.

💬 4. We Offer Complimentary Consultations & Flexible Financing

While we can’t give precise prices over the phone, we do our best to make care accessible and affordable dental care. Many of our offices offer:

  • Free or low-cost consultations for certain services

  • Affordable financing options with CareCit and Sunbit.

  • A clear, itemized treatment plan once your evaluation is complete

This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect — no surprises.

✅ Bottom Line:

We get it — you want clarity and confidence when it comes to your dental care and its costs. The best way to get both is to come in for an exam and X-rays so we can see what’s really going on and provide you with an accurate, personalized treatment plan.

At LADD Dental Group, your health comes first — and so does honesty. Give us a call today, and we’ll help you schedule a visit with one of our trusted dental professionals. You deserve care that’s tailored to you.

Dental Work | Importance of Routine Dental Care | Preventative Dental Care

Importance of Routine Dental Care  When I was in my 30s and a dentist told me I needed a few crowns , I decided to skip the expensive devices because of my meager paycheck. Besides, my teeth weren't hurting. Years later, I am paying the price in pain and costlier dental work . One of the damaged teeth that needed a crown distorted my bite, making a minor jaw-joint problem even worse. Unfortunately I'm far from alone. The price of dental care is steep for many people financially, physically and even socially, according to Marko Vujicic, chief economist and vice president of the Health Policy Institute at the American Dental Association. Vujicic said that the  majority of emergency room dental visits  were for infections that could be handled in a dentist's office. Overall, emergency room dental visits cost $1.9 billion yearly, 40 percent of which is public money, according to his institute's analysis of data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quali...
