Case Description
When it rains it pours! I have dental insurance with Delta and I think I have a good plan, but I need a general cost. It's really hard for me to miss work and it seems every dentist works when I am. Grrr anyways Id love to have a general idea of the cost of such surgery. I need my two back lower teeth pulled apparently. Im a college student living on my own and it's hard enough to make rent but this is something I must have done. So if anyone can help me that would be fantastic!..my email is beiiadolcevita@aol.com

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

Cost Estimate: $
No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
It is very dificult to provide cost estimates without seeing you for an exam and reviewing x-rays. However, we do participate with most Delta Dental plans, and they often provide coverage at 80%, leaving you with 20% out-of-pocket. My suggestion would be to call the office and set up an appointment so we can evaluate your situation, and give you an accurate estimate of your costs.Thank you,Dr. Vetter
