Quick question!

I haven't had my wisdom teeth pulled out, and one of them is really bothering me.
They quoted me $500 extractions for three teeth (the other one is completely horizontal and I need to go to a surgeon for that). My question is, have any of you ever used the CareCredit? What has been your experience? It has terrible reviews online, but I want to know if anyone has had a good experience here. Thanks in advance!

$500 for the whole operation? Wow

I usually see rates for like $500 per teeth, with anesthesia costs on top of that.

As for CareCredit, I dunno.

I thought $150 per tooth was expensive!

$500 is suuuuuper cheap. I had two horizontal and 2 regular and I paid $1500 total. I got all four pulled by a surgeon though and this is the price after heavy discount since I was referred to him. I didn't even know carecredit even existed.

$500 for 3 teeth? Is this a flea market dentist?? J/K I guess he figured you're already there and his fixed costs are about the same whether he pulls one or 3 teeth (same pair of gloves, pliers, employee time etc.) so he's giving you a great deal.....or he's fresh out of dental school and needs the practice. heh.

As for CareCredit, I'd pass. See if they have financing at he surgeon's office or borrow money from family if you can.

Care credit is ok. Just use it if you need it. But 500 is not worth doing.
