Tooth extraction is sometimes an inevitable step in solving dental health problems. Conditions such as tooth decay, periodontal disease or a tooth that is not in the proper position in the mouth may require tooth extraction. This procedure is usually performed by the dentist under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and is usually a quick and painless process for patients.
However, the cost of tooth extraction can be an important issue for patients. In this article, we will provide information on tooth extraction prices and the base prices set by the Turkish Dental Association (TDB).
Factors Affecting Tooth Extraction Prices
Tooth extraction prices may vary depending on various factors. These factors include the following:
- Location and Condition of the Tooth: The location of the tooth to be extracted in the mouth and the condition of the tooth (for example, impacted teeth are more difficult and costly) can affect the price.
- Difficulty of the Extraction: Some teeth, especially teeth that are fused to the jawbone or impacted, can be more complicated than a standard tooth extraction, which increases the cost.
- Clinic and Physician Fee Policy: The cost of tooth extraction can also vary according to the fee policies of clinics and physicians. Prices can often be higher in private clinics.
