Why there is no single price
The diagnosis, complexity, materials and stages of treatment affect the estimate. An advertisement is not a personalized assessment. ORAL does not publish unverified price ranges or attribute unconfirmed fees to a practice.
Plan for the space left behind
Depending on the tooth and your situation, replacement may involve an implant, bridge or denture. Ask how extraction timing affects these choices and whether preservation of the socket is relevant.
Compare what is included

- Final placement, adjustments and follow-up
- Long-term maintenance, repair and replacement
Insurance and the CDCP
Ask for a written estimate of the plan’s contribution and your share. Preauthorization may be needed. Practice fees and CDCP fees may differ. Do not assume that a procedure is covered because a practice participates in the plan.
Understand the CDCPBefore signing a payment plan
Check the total amount, interest, fees, schedule and cancellation terms. Take time to compare treatment options as well as payment arrangements.
