Tooth Extractions - Cost? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

wishies · 02-23-2009, 07:07 PM

Riley has a couple retained teeth that need to be extracted. Unfortunately, they came in after he got fixed so I'm wondering how much it will cost and how much you all paid? I know I'm going to have to pay to put him under but around how much did you pay per tooth? I'm going to wait a while to do it as he is only 9 months right now and I think he gets a dental thing anyway at around a year or so. I just wanna know if I need to search for another vet to do it because my current vet charges like $50 per tooth but to put him under and stuff will be at no charge because its included in his plan (what I was told by one of the vet tech's).

It cost me $5 per tooth, but I did do it when she was put under for the spaying. I'm not sure what it would have cost if they put her under just to extract the teeth.

pricing sometimes depends on where you are located.
we are in the central florida area and for teeth extraction its around 15 for each, but thats on top of the cost of pre-op bloodwork and anesthesia.

I'm in the New Orleans area and it cost roughly $17 per tooth. But his was done when he was neutered. He had 11 baby teeth removed.

For retained baby teeth, my vet does not charge if they are under for something else, such as a neuter or spay.
I pay $12 extra for any extractions during a dental, but the baby teeth are really not a huge deal to extract, so I doubt they would even charge for it.
I think $50/tooth is extremely high!

I think it's really high too & I'm pretty sure she said it was $50/tooth

I'm going to ask again when I take Madison in for her next set of shots next week. Hopefully her adult teeth come out by the time shes spayed so I wont have to do the same for her.

The vets around me range A LOT!!!!!!! My vet charges $350 for extracting teeth/cleaning. I usually go to the other vet that is $110 for extractions/teeth cleaning.

Maybe she said $15??

Maddy was spayed this morning and had 3 baby teeth removed and her Vet charged $2 per tooth. We are located in Canada.

ilovelily · 02-25-2009, 04:31 AM

Lily had 10 teeth pulled all but 1 were baby teeth.My vet charged 5 per tooth for baby's and 10 for the adult one.By the time she was done it cost me 250$ all together for the cleaning including take home meds.Well worth it!

Wookie

had 2 that had to be extracted and it was done at a different time from his nueter. It was $99 for it. I am in the Fort Worth area, that was about a mid range price for this area from what I remember.

ARCHIE · 02-25-2009, 07:33 AM

Buddy still had one extra bottom tooth and the vet pulled it out
during his yearly. I got lucky. He yelped but it was free

LilDaysha · 02-25-2009, 07:50 AM

I'm getting Cookie's 1 baby canine tooth pulled out this weekend and for that one tooth extraction its $85/per tooth plus anesthsia. So the total will come out close to $300.

wishies · 02-25-2009, 08:35 AM

soooo i took madison in for her rabies shot today & i asked the vet about riley's extraction since he has like 4 teeth he needs to get extracted (upper & lower canines

) she said if they were really tough to get out (worst case scenario) it would be $120 for upper and another $120 for lower PLUS anesthesia

hopefully they wont charge as much.. i can feel that his baby teeth are really loose. i'm probably going to call around and get prices from other vets in the area.

Lady A · 03-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Hi there. If you are still looking around, try the Humane Society if there is one around you. They took out my dog Deegan's teeth while he was being neutered(he needed 4 baby teeth out) and they only charged 5 dollars a tooth

Good luck!
