The Treatment Plan
Tooth extraction may be recommended for several reasons, such as issues with baby teeth, preparation for orthodontic work, or infection. Most extractions require just one visit and are performed by your dentist.
Looking for Solutions
Before moving forward with an extraction, we will check for other ways to treat the problem and possibly save your tooth. Our goal is to help you feel better while preserving your natural teeth whenever possible.
The Removal Process
We begin by using a local anesthetic to completely numb the area. If needed, sedation can be used for added comfort. The extraction is done using gentle, precise techniques to support fast healing.
Feeling Better
After your appointment, we will give you instructions to help you heal quickly and comfortably. If needed, a follow up visit can be booked to check your recovery or answer any questions.
Cost of a Dental Extraction in Olathe
The price of a dental extraction depends on the type of procedure and your insurance.
- With insurance: You may pay between $100 and $200.
- Without insurance: The cost usually falls between $200 and $600 per tooth.
There are two types of extractions:
Simple Extraction
This involves removing a tooth that is visible and easy to reach. It is usually done by a general dentist using a local anesthetic.
Surgical Extraction
This is a more complex procedure used for teeth that are not fully visible, such as those below the gum line. It often requires more time and skill, which increases the cost.
