How much does an emergency dentist cost?
We reiterate: dentistry has no flat rate. We charge on a case-by-case basis, and individual factors—such as case severity and complexity—will inform the final figure. That aside, we can certainly provide ballpark figures, which are as follows:
- Standard emergencies, such as toothaches, fillings, or chipped or broken teeth, should cost between $250–$400.
- More acute toothaches usually derive from an inflamed nerve. Such cases require future treatments—such as tooth extraction or root canal treatment—as well as temporary relief from pain. These treatments typically total $400–$450.
- If the pain is less severe, the culprit could be anything from tooth decay to teeth grinding. In cases such as these, you’re looking at emergency examinations and X-rays, which shouldn’t set you back more than $99.
- If you need your teeth removed pronto, you’re lumping procedure costs atop the $99 exam-and-X-ray combo. Non-complex extractions start from $250 whilst complex or wisdom teeth extractions can be up to $550.
