Getting a tooth pulled isn’t exactly something most people plan for—but when it needs to happen, cost shouldn’t be the reason you delay care. At btyDENTAL, we help patients across Washington get the care they need without the financial stress.
Whether it’s a wisdom tooth causing problems or a damaged molar that needs to go, we offer flexible payment options to make extractions more accessible. Here’s a breakdown of how you can pay for your treatment and what to expect.
Payment Options for Dental Extractions We Accept at btyDENTAL Washington
At btyDENTAL, we accept several forms of payment to make your visit as smooth as possible:
- Cash
- Personal checks
- Debit or credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
If you’re paying upfront, we’ll process your payment at the time of your appointment. If you’d prefer to split the cost, keep reading—we have flexible options for that too.
Payment Options for Dental Extractions That Work for You
Not everyone can pay for dental work all at once—and that’s completely okay. At btyDENTAL, we offer financing options that let you get the care you need now and pay over time.
CareCredit
CareCredit is a healthcare credit card that lets you break your bill into smaller monthly payments. Many patients qualify for six months of interest-free financing. Applying only takes a few minutes and won’t delay your treatment.
Cherry
Cherry gives you the flexibility to choose from several payment plans, including options with 0% APR if you qualify. It’s fast, easy to check, and doesn’t affect your credit just to see what you’re eligible for.
In-House Payment Plans
Some of our locations also offer in-house payment plans. These are interest-free and tailored to your situation. Just ask our front desk team during your visit—we’re happy to help.
Insurance Coverage for Dental Extractions in Washington
At btyDENTAL, we accept a variety of insurance plans to help make dental extractions more affordable for our patients. Understanding your insurance options can help you plan for your procedure with confidence.
Private Dental Insurance Plans
Many private dental insurance providers offer coverage for tooth extractions, though the extent of coverage can vary based on the specific plan.
Delta Dental of Washington
Delta offers several plans, including the Basic Plan, which typically covers 50% of non-surgical extractions. Monthly premiums start at approximately $36.25 in Western Washington. Annual maximums generally range from $1,000 to $1,500.
Aetna
Aetna provides dental plans that cover preventive care at 100%, basic procedures like fillings and extractions at 50%, and major procedures at 50%. Many plans have no waiting periods for basic services. Monthly premiums usually start around $21.95.
Cigna
Cigna’s dental plans offer full coverage for preventive care and 70% to 80% coverage for basic restorative treatments like extractions. Annual deductibles are typically $50 for individuals, and annual benefit caps often range between $1,000 and $1,500.
It’s important to review your plan details, including deductibles, co-pays, waiting periods, and annual maximums to know what’s covered and what costs you may still be responsible for.
Washington Apple Health (Medicaid)
For eligible individuals, Washington Apple Health (the state’s Medicaid program) offers dental coverage, including extractions.
- Adults (21 and older): Covered services include exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, fluoride, and tooth extractions.
- Children (20 and younger): Full preventive and restorative care is typically covered, including extractions if needed.
To use these benefits, make sure your dental provider accepts Apple Health. Our Tacoma and Sumner locations currently accept Medicaid.
Employer-Sponsored Dental Plans
If you have dental insurance through your employer, your plan likely covers a portion of the cost of extractions. Preventive care is usually covered at 100%, while basic services like extractions may be covered between 50% and 80%. These plans often have higher annual maximums, and some include orthodontic or surgical extraction benefits as well.
Dental Discount Plans
For patients without dental insurance, discount plans are a good alternative. These membership-based programs offer reduced rates on services like cleanings, exams, and extractions. While not insurance, they often provide savings of 15% to 60% with no deductibles, waiting periods, or yearly caps.
Understanding your insurance options can help you make confident decisions about your dental health. If you’re unsure about your benefits or need help verifying coverage, just give us a call—we’re happy to help.
