Prices

What does tooth extraction cost in Bensalem, PA?

Tooth extraction is quoted after the examination, because the cost depends on the tooth, the infection level, and whether the removal is simple or surgical. No published price is available for this treatment, so the figure is confirmed at the visit. If a tooth can be saved, a root canal is one published comparison at $600 to $1,500 including the crown. The exam, CBCT scan, and panoramic X-ray help the dentist decide which option fits the tooth and your budget.

Option	Cost range	Visits or timeline	How long it lasts
Tooth extraction	Quoted after the examination	Usually 1 visit, with follow-up if needed	Permanent removal of the tooth
Root canal	$600 to $1,500 including the crown	Usually 2 visits	Can last many years with proper care
Crown	$1,000 to $2,000 per tooth	Usually 2 visits	15 to 25 years
Implant	$3,500 to $6,000 each	Multiple visits over several months	25+ years

Prices shown are estimates for planning only and are not a quote. Every case differs, and your fee is confirmed in writing after an examination and scan. See the cost calculator for an early indication.

When removal is needed

When does a tooth need to be extracted?

A tooth may need removal when decay, fracture, infection, or crowding makes repair unlikely. At Alpha Dental Excellence in Langhorne, four dentists evaluate the tooth, review CBCT and panoramic imaging, and decide whether extraction is the safest option. This matters for Bensalem patients who want a clear answer before pain gets worse. If the tooth can be saved, the team may compare extraction with root canal treatment or a crown. If it cannot, removal can stop the source of infection and create a plan for replacement later.

Common reasons

Deep decayWhen decay reaches the root or the tooth breaks down too far, extraction may be the cleanest way to stop pain.

InfectionIf the infection keeps returning or spreads beyond the tooth, removal can protect the surrounding bone and gum tissue.

FractureA cracked tooth that cannot be restored with a crown or root canal may need to come out.

Crowding or impactionSome teeth do not have enough space to erupt normally, especially wisdom teeth or badly positioned teeth.

Comfort options

What sedation options are available for extraction?

Oral and IV sedation are available in house, and the sedation consultation is complimentary, a $574 value. That visit includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray, so the dentist can plan the extraction with more detail. Many anxious patients from Bensalem, Langhorne, Fairless Hills, Newtown, Holland, and Levittown choose this route because it keeps the work in one office. Dr. Arpan Nalin Patel, DMD, earned his dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004 and has 22+ years of experience.

Sedation and planning

Oral sedationTaken before the visit, it can reduce anxiety and help you stay calmer during treatment.

IV sedationDelivered in the office, it can be useful for longer or more difficult removals.

Complimentary consultThe sedation consultation is free, a $574 value, and includes CBCT and panoramic imaging.

Four dentists on siteHaving four dentists at one address makes it easier to match the right clinician to the case.

Emergency timing

Can I get a same-day extraction appointment?

Yes, same-day emergency slots are kept open daily for urgent tooth pain, swelling, or a broken tooth. For Bensalem patients, that short 11 minute drive to Langhorne can make treatment faster than waiting through a worsening weekend. If the tooth cannot be saved, prompt removal may reduce pressure, help drainage, and lower the chance of the problem spreading. Call early if the tooth is loose, severely painful, or causing facial swelling. The office can also discuss next steps if a replacement is needed later.

Urgent visit signs

Severe painPain that keeps you from sleeping or eating can be a sign the tooth is beyond repair.

SwellingFacial or gum swelling can mean infection, and it should be checked quickly.

Broken toothA tooth that fractures below the gum line may need urgent removal.

Loose toothA tooth that is moving due to advanced damage may not be stable enough to keep.

Recovery steps

What happens after a tooth extraction?

Most patients need a short rest period, soft foods, and careful bite pressure on gauze after the extraction. Your dentist will explain how to protect the socket, when to resume brushing, and whether a crown, implant, or other replacement should be planned. Healing time depends on the tooth and whether the removal was simple or surgical. Follow the aftercare instructions closely to lower the risk of dry socket and help the site close properly. If you are planning an implant, the team can discuss timing after the area heals.

Aftercare basics

RestTake it easy for the first day and avoid heavy activity that can disturb the clot.

Soft foodsChoose foods that do not require much chewing while the area is tender.

Oral hygieneBrush gently and follow the office instructions for rinsing so the socket can heal.

Replacement planningIf the tooth will be replaced later, the dentist can review implant or crown timing.
