Local pricing for 7 oral surgeon services in Palm Desert, CA.
Palm Desert, CA Range
$195 – $78,000
Oral surgeons handle the highest-cost work in dentistry: wisdom teeth ($1,200–$4,000 for all four), single-tooth implants ($3,000–$6,500 all-in), bone grafts ($300–$3,000 per site), and full orthognathic jaw surgery ($20,000–$60,000+). IV sedation is standard and usually bundled into surgical extractions and wisdom-teeth quotes. Dental insurance covers extractions and many surgical procedures at the major-service rate (50–80%), but annual plan maximums of $1,500–$2,500 routinely cap reimbursement well before total cost. Implants are commonly deemed elective and excluded — and even when covered, the implant + abutment + crown breakdown creates frequent quote confusion. Jaw surgery (orthognathic) crosses into medical insurance when functional indications exist; cosmetic-only cases stay patient-paid. Urban metros (NYC, SF, Boston, LA) routinely price 25–40% above national averages; specialty work in Manhattan can hit 2x. Dollar prices are adjusted for CA cost of living (+30% vs. national average); percentage-based fees (commissions, rates, contingency) are largely federal/national and shown unadjusted.
