I have been told my #31 tooth (back molar) is fractured and needs oral surgery. What does this cost?

I have dental insurance but it covers $2000 a year and I have a feeling this could be more expensive. Is it worth having an implant put in? How much does that cost? I live in California.

Update:

One of the reasons I would consider implant surgery would be for eating. What would that cost?

    I am having all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed, I live in Alberta Canada, the estimated price per-tooth is about $450 to removed them.

    Personally I would ask your dentist about cost, and it all up to you if you want an implant or not. My father has some of his back moles removed, and he is fine - he just take small bites when eating meat.

    For a regular tooth pulling, it might be about $300-500

    I don't know about the cost of implants. The dentist would have to estimate that

    Dental surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

    Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

    They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
