Case Description
I have a tooth that is decaying/ rotting, and it is very painful and is sensitive to cold and hot. It is the second tooth from the back, just before my wisdom tooth on the upper left side. I was wondering if you could give me a price estimate for a first time visit and I don't have any dental insurance.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $225-300
Again I need to start by saying that no dental insurance doesn''''t affect an estimate. We are supposed to treat all patients the same. Insurance only means that someone else picks up some of the tab.As to an estimate, it will be affected by some choices you make. Do you want to be sedated for this procedure? Sedation is more expensive, not necessary, but beneficial to an anxious pt. The other factor is the degree of difficulty or procedures that are needed to get the tooth out. Is it routine, surgical, partially tissue impacted, partially bony impacted?I estimate it will be surgical, with at very minimum 1 xray. This is probably around 225-300. Expect to pay surgeon upfront, they will probably not ever see you again, and their work is complete. It may be handled by a general dentist, and you could have a comprehensive look at everything with a plan.
