The graft is only nessicary for getting an implant in that spot. This place is starting to sound a lot like Aspen Dental

if its any consolation I paid out of pocket for an extraction of a rear molar at a different dentist and it was $900 - that is about the standard price these days with the graft thing - also had a tooth pulled a long time ago without the graft and it was a horribly painful experience (Dry socket, ouch!)

You can refuse the graft. My partner had 2 molars pulled there and they pressured us to get them; every time we said no, both verbally and in writing. No graft was given.

They do seem to try to pad the bill. We just refuse and demand the basic services we desire; haven't had a problem with them (yet), but are constantly wary.

for what its worth tbe dentist did a great job. i didnt feel a thing. even though tooth was cracking in half. it also only took about 10-15 mins. just wish it didnt cost me over $800
