Seeing an oral surgeon to get your wisdom teeth extracted your senior year of high school is so common in our country that it’s basically a rite of passage. Not that it’s fun, but it is necessary for most of us. Put off seeing the dentist who performs wisdom teeth removal for too long, and they’re going to break through, causing all sorts of crowding and discomfort for your teeth.

Why Our Wisdom Teeth Removals are So Affordable
Here’s the thing — we can likely save you $600 to $800 from most other surgical centers that extract wisdom teeth. That may sound too good to be true, but the truth is we work really hard to be the most affordable option. We understand that not everyone is made of money—and even if you are, we doubt you’d want to spend a fortune on a procedure to get taken wisdom teeth taken out. When we say cheap wisdom teeth removal, we mean it. If you do some price comparisons, you’d be shocked to see how much cheaper we are on average than most other oral surgeons in the area.
Here’s how we keep our prices down so you save more:
First, we only charge you for the anesthesia time needed, not just what your insurance will pay for. We don’t like to milk your insurance company — and by extension, you. We cut our costs to make your procedure more affordable; most oral surgeons charge for anesthesia in time increments, meaning you might get charged for 60 minutes when in fact they only used 40 minutes. We charge for the 40 minutes and nothing more. When you receive sedation for oral surgery, we’re only charging for the exact amount of time you’re under—as it should be. The secret to affordable wisdom teeth removal comes down to approach. When practices don’t overcharge insurance companies and only bill for the exact amount of medication used and time spent, good things happen for your bank account, and that’s something worth celebrating. We want you to get the best care for the best price possible.
The second method we use to reduce the cost of your wisdom tooth extraction is that we only code for the exact position of the teeth — not a level higher. This ties back in to not milking your insurance. When you come to us to see a doctor who specializes in wisdom teeth extraction, we’re only coding for the position of that particular tooth. This alone can save you $100 per tooth. If you’re like most others and have all four of your wisdom teeth needing removed, that’s already almost $400 saved just by adjusting our coding procedures. Third, we base our fees on what we think is affordable and fair, not the ‘Fee Schedule’ book most oral surgeons use. By doing that, we not only set ourselves apart from our competitors, but we give you, the patient, an immediate advantage by choosing us—and we can guarantee you’ll be happy you did.
Finally, we remind the insurance company we’re the maxillofacial surgeon, not them. We do only work that’s necessary, but we do it right — and as pain free as possible. Most insurance companies won’t cover commonly used extraction codes because they want us to overbill you. They also will review anesthesia coverage, which is as shady as it sounds. We believe you should be given the right amount of sedation dentistry to make you comfortable — not just what your insurance company says is enough.
Dr. Puckett, on the other hand, wants you to feel as comfortable as possible. We don’t cut corners, but we do cut costs. There’s a big difference. When you choose us as your maxillofacial surgeon who performs wisdom teeth extractions, we promise you’ll not only be thrilled by the care and attention you receive, but also by the amount of money you’re saving on most common procedures. Top-quality dentistry and surgery don’t have to gouge your bank account to be good, and we’re proof of that.
