Wisdom tooth cost confusion
I found out that that the fillings on my wisdom teeth are leaking during a recent checkup I don’t have any pain or sensitivity but I can see the dark stains around the edges of the old filling. I want to get my wisdom teeth out since it’s hard to clean back there and annoying due to being where my teeth hit eachother when I clench.
My primary dentist gave me the quote on the left and I was a bit shocked by the price so I went to another reputable dentist in the area who gave a similar price. However they are expensive for different reasons and I don’t understand why, they classified the extractions differently and one wants to use a Cone Beam CT while the other doesn’t. Can I ask for that not to be used? Both are really expensive for me and I’m starting to think I should wait a few months for when I visit family in my Country of Origin and get it done there for a fraction of the price.
Why are they almost the same price but for different reasons? What can I do to get the cost lowered?
