Clear, upfront pricing
Know your cost before treatment.
We only accept a few insurances, so we keep pricing simple and in writing. Payment is due at time of service.
One example from our pricing
$1,375
Four wisdom teeth with IV “twilight sleep” sedation. Our out-of-pocket cash pricing is often more affordable than using dental insurance.

Extractions, done by a specialist in extractions.
Wisdom teeth and tooth extractions are all we do. Every extraction is performed by Dr. Rivero, who has limited his practice to exodontia since 2012.
Wisdom tooth removal
Impacted and painful wisdom teeth removed in-office, including all four in one visit when appropriate.
Same-day treatment
Same-day care for patients with local anesthesia and/or nitrous oxide. In pain today? Call in the morning.
Sedation options
Nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV conscious “twilight sleep” sedation. Oral and IV sedation need a consultation first.
CBCT 3D imaging
State-of-the-art CBCT imaging in the office, so the plan for your extraction is made with a full 3D view.
CGF advanced healing
Concentrated growth factors (CGF) to support advanced healing after your extraction.
How a visit works

Meet Dr. Rivero
One dentist. One focus.
All extractions are performed by Dr. Rivero, a general dentist who has limited his practice to exodontia — the art and science of tooth extraction — since 2012.
No associates, no rotating providers, no general checkups on the side. The clinic does one thing, and the doctor who does it is the doctor you see.
- Practice limited to exodontia since 2012
- Independently owned — not a chain
