Impaction Types & Pricing
The $250 per-tooth price applies to all impaction types at Best Dental. Here is what each type means.
Erupted (Fully Visible)
Tooth has broken through the gumlineThe simplest extraction type. The tooth is fully visible and accessible. Standard forceps removal with local anesthesia. Most patients have minimal swelling and recover quickly.
Soft Tissue Impacted
Tooth through bone, still under gumThe tooth has erupted through the jawbone but remains under the gum tissue. A small incision is made to access the tooth. Slightly more involved than a fully erupted extraction.
Partial Bony Impacted
Tooth partially in jawbonePart of the tooth crown remains inside the jawbone. Requires removing a small amount of bone to access the tooth. The most common impaction type referred to as a surgical extraction.
Full Bony Impacted
Tooth entirely within jawboneThe tooth is entirely encased in bone and has not erupted at all. The most complex impaction type. Best Dental's flat $250 price applies to this case the same as to a fully visible tooth.

Signs You May Need Your Wisdom Teeth Removed
Wisdom teeth typically emerge between ages 17 and 25. Most people do not have enough room in their jaw for them, which causes a range of problems.
- Pain or pressure in the back of the mouth. Localized behind the last visible molar. Often the first sign that a wisdom tooth is trying to erupt and does not have space.
- Swollen, red, or bleeding gums near the back molars. A partially erupted wisdom tooth creates a flap of gum tissue called an operculum that collects bacteria and can become infected, a condition called pericoronitis. This needs treatment promptly.
- Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening your mouth fully. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause jaw tension, often more noticeable in the morning or after eating.
- Crowding of other teeth. Wisdom teeth pushing against second molars can shift previously straight teeth. Especially relevant for patients who have completed orthodontic treatment.
- Bad taste or odor near the back of the mouth. A common sign of infection around a partially erupted wisdom tooth.
- Cavity on a wisdom tooth. Wisdom teeth are difficult to clean. A cavity on a wisdom tooth usually points to removal as the appropriate treatment.
- No symptoms at all. Impacted wisdom teeth that show no symptoms can still affect adjacent teeth and bone. X-rays at a routine exam can identify developing problems before pain begins.
The Wisdom Teeth Removal Process
Five clear steps from x-ray through follow-up. The $250 per-tooth cost is confirmed in writing before treatment begins.
X-Ray & Evaluation
Digital panoramic X-ray assesses each wisdom tooth's position, root anatomy, and surrounding bone. Dr. Naderi reviews the imaging and confirms the appropriate treatment. Itemized cost is provided in writing before any procedure begins.
Anesthesia
Local anesthetic ensures you feel no pain during the procedure. Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation is available for anxious patients or complex multi-tooth cases. Sedation pricing is discussed at consultation. A driver is required for IV or oral sedation patients.
Extraction
Dr. Naderi performs the extraction using surgical technique appropriate to the case. Most single wisdom tooth removals take 15 to 30 minutes. All four wisdom teeth can typically be removed in a single appointment.
Post-Op Care
Written recovery instructions, gauze, and an aftercare kit are provided. Most patients manage post-op discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief such as ibuprofen.
Follow-Up
A follow-up visit confirms healing if needed. If discomfort increases after day 3 rather than improving, this can indicate dry socket and is treated in-office with a medicated dressing.
Recovery & Aftercare Timeline
Recovery after wisdom tooth extraction is manageable for most patients. The typical timeline and aftercare basics.
Day of Extraction · Bleeding Control & Rest
Bite down firmly on gauze for 30 to 45 minutes after extraction to control bleeding. Do not rinse, spit forcefully, or use a straw for the first 24 hours since this can dislodge the blood clot and cause dry socket. Plan to rest for the remainder of the day. Apply an ice pack to the outside of your jaw for 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off, to reduce swelling.
Days 1 to 3 · Swelling Peak & Pain Management
Swelling typically peaks at 48 to 72 hours and then subsides. Over-the-counter ibuprofen taken with food is the most common recovery approach and addresses both pain and inflammation. Stick to soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and smoothies eaten with a spoon. Avoid crunchy, chewy, or spicy foods.
Days 3 to 5 · Improvement & Gentle Rinsing
After 24 hours, gently rinse with warm salt water, about half a teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of water, after meals to keep the extraction site clean. Most patients see significant improvement in pain and swelling by day 3 or 4. Avoid smoking since it dramatically increases dry socket risk and slows healing.
Days 5 to 7 · Healing & Return to Normal Diet
Most patients can return to a nearly normal diet and activity level by day 5 to 7. The socket continues healing over the next few weeks as bone fills in. Avoid hard, crunchy foods that could get lodged in the socket until it has closed fully.
Watch For · Signs of Dry Socket
Dry socket, technically called alveolar osteitis, is the most common complication. It occurs when the blood clot is dislodged before the socket heals, exposing bone. Signs are intense, throbbing pain that begins or significantly worsens 3 to 5 days after extraction, often radiating to the ear or jaw. Call Best Dental at (281) 215-3065. Dry socket is treated in-office with a medicated dressing.
