Does Dental Insurance Cover the Cost of Getting Wisdom Teeth Removed?

Answer:
Perhaps – wisdom tooth extraction
is considered dental surgery. Such a procedure is commonly covered at a certain percentage by traditional dental insurance providers. Contact your provider to find out specific benefits regarding the coverage for oral surgery.


A wisdom tooth extraction is sometimes referred to as a third molar extraction. This procedure is usually performed because a person does not have enough space in their mouth for wisdom teeth or the teeth have become impacted. If a wisdom tooth comes in and does not fit properly there can be additional dental problems.

Although your dental insurance may cover the extraction of wisdom teeth, it’s a good idea to consult with your dentist and request a pre-cost estimate that you can provide for them. If you don’t have dental insurance coverage, but still need the procedure, you may want to consider third-party financing.
