Cash or insurance?
If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you pay the rate your plan negotiated with the hospital, not the cash price. Hospital price files list those rates too: for tooth extraction, the highest negotiated rate in a hospital's file has a median of $2,316.10 and the lowest a median of $375.90. At 178 of 204 hospitals that publish both, the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate.
With a high deductible, cash can cost less. But a cash payment may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum: ask your plan for its rate at that hospital (most have a cost estimator) and whether it will credit a cash payment.
Plan's rate starts at the median highest negotiated rate and cash at the national median; put in your own numbers. Nothing you type leaves your device. To price a whole year with premiums, use the insurance or cash calculator.
What is CDT D7140?
This is a simple extraction of a tooth that has come through the gum, or of an exposed root, using instruments to loosen and lift it out. It is used for teeth that are badly decayed, broken or loose.
What the price covers
The fee usually covers the extraction, local anesthesia and routine follow-up care. The exam, X-rays and any sedation are billed under their own codes.
Why prices differ
Hospital prices come mostly from hospital dental clinics and dental schools, which price differently from private offices; sedation and the number of teeth removed also change the total.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CDT D7140 is per tooth and whether the exam and X-rays are included.

Common questions
What is CDT code D7140?
CDT D7140 is the billing code for simple extraction of a tooth or exposed root that is above the gum. This is a simple extraction of a tooth that has come through the gum, or of an exposed root, using instruments to loosen and lift it out. It is used for teeth that are badly decayed, broken or loose.
Is the price per tooth?
Yes. Each tooth removed is billed separately.
What if the tooth needs surgical removal?
If the dentist has to cut the gum or remove bone, the extraction is billed as a surgical one (D7210) or, for an impacted tooth, under codes such as D7220 to D7241.
Is it cheaper to pay cash or use insurance for tooth extraction?
It depends on your deductible. Until you meet it, you pay your plan's negotiated rate, not the cash price. In hospital price files the highest negotiated rate for tooth extraction has a median of $2,316.10 and the lowest a median of $375.90; at 178 of 204 hospitals the cash price is below the highest negotiated rate. A cash payment may not count toward your deductible, so ask your plan for its rate at that hospital first.
Which states have the cheapest tooth extraction?
Among 15 states with at least 5 hospitals listing a cash price, the median is lowest in Illinois ($328.30), Georgia ($357.63) and Texas ($454.74), and highest in Missouri ($4,988.00), California ($4,099.20) and Pennsylvania ($1,893.00). Prices vary as much between hospitals in the same state, so compare hospitals near you.
