Case Description
I have a cracked wisdom tooth. I know it must come out and I just want minimal anestetic. I have been taking an antibiotic and the pain has grown greatly over the past few days. I would just love to know if I can afford it. I understand the meaning of the word estimate and that it may or may not be exact. Please may I at least have a ballpark figure or range for this surgery.

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.

Without evaluating you cliniclly and taking an xray, it is hard to be exact with the fee. Below is a range depending upon the complexity of the extraction.Sincerely,Dr. Katz
