Complicated impactions and general anaesthesia cost more, which is why CareCredit's national range runs from $1,200 to $4,175. The ADA discontinued its national Survey of Dental Fees in 2023.

Your Case Matters More Than Your State
The gap between the lowest and highest state average is $1,065 (Maryland $2,191, Colorado $3,256). The gap between case types is far wider. CareCredit's per-tooth averages, with local anaesthetic only, are $177 for a simple extraction and $835 for a complicated impaction. Four simple extractions come to about $708; four complicated impactions to about $3,340, before any sedation.
So the first questions for any quote are the CDT code on each tooth, the anaesthesia and the provider type. Location comes after those. Prices also vary between practices in the same state, so compare itemised quotes.
See the CDT code guide and the anaesthesia guide for the per-tooth and sedation figures.
City Guides
No published source gives a city-level average for wisdom teeth removal. The city guides cover what can be checked locally: dental school clinics, safety-net hospitals, community health centers and state Medicaid rules.
