Case Description
Hi,
I am 24 years old and was told last Friday when i went to the dentist's office, that I will need to get all four of my wisdom teeth pulled. I have both dental (Metlife) and medical (Cigna) insurance and am looking for a reputable oral surgeon to pull these teeth. It is most important to me to get a reputable oral surgeon to perform this procedure and preferably accept my insurance.
Having said that, I would be very interested in learning how much it would the total cost would be to get these four pulled, so I can determine whether it is affordable to pay for the procedure without my insurance, if I decide to chose a doctor who isn't covered, but very reputable.
I look forward to your replies!

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.
