In British Columbia, the cost of a simple tooth extraction—which is performed on a tooth visible above the gum line that can be removed in one piece—typically ranges from $75 to $200 per tooth according to the BC Dental Association fee guide.
However, it is important to note that the total out-of-pocket expense for the procedure at a clinic may include additional services. Estimated costs for these components include:
- Initial Consultation: Between $100 and $150.
- X-rays (Periapical): Approximately $30 to $50.
- Local Anesthesia: Ranges from $50 to $100.
- Follow-up Visit: Usually adds $50 to $100 to the total.
When these factors are combined, the total cost for a simple, non-surgical extraction at a clinic like The Grove Dentistry typically ranges from $150 to $300. Prices may vary based on the specific condition of the tooth, the geographic location of the clinic, and any urgent or after-hours requirements for emergency care.
