Simple tooth extraction fees range from $145 CAD in Manitoba to $218 in Ontario across Canada's 2026 provincial suggested-fee guides. The national average in our dataset is $174 CAD. The CDCP covers extractions at every income tier under $90,000 — no pre-authorization required.

* Estimates based on 2025–2026 provincial suggested-fee guides (CAD). Actual costs vary by province and provider; figures flagged as estimates are modelled.
Note: the CDCP reimburses on its own fee grid, which is often lower than the provincial guide. Balance billing can apply even at the 100% tier.

Figures reflect the simple (non-surgical) extraction code from each province's suggested-fee guide or model. They are the guide rate — dentists are not required by law to bill at this rate, and actual charges may differ.
How provincial fee guides work
Each province's dental association publishes an annual suggested-fee guide setting reference prices for hundreds of procedure codes. The guides are:
- Advisory, not mandatory — dentists are legally free to bill above or below the guide.
- Updated annually — most Canadian guides rose 3–4% between 2025 and 2026.
- Publicly available in some provinces (Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Quebec) but members-only in others (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland).
Where a guide is members-only, Real Dental Costs models figures from neighbouring-province guides and flags those cells is_estimate: true in the open dataset.
Provinces at a glance
Ontario ($218 — most expensive)
Ontario's ODA Suggested Fee Guide consistently posts the highest simple-extraction fee in Canada. The 2026 guide (up approximately 3.32% from 2025) places simple extraction at a single fixed fee of $218.
Prince Edward Island ($153 — lowest published-guide fee)
The Dental Association of PEI (DAPEI) publishes an abbreviated guide; the 2025 edition prices simple extraction at $153 CAD. PEI consistently ranks as one of the most affordable provinces across most dental procedures.
National average ($174)
Our dataset calculates the national average simple-extraction fee at $174 CAD — a weighted midpoint across the ten provincial data points. This figure is used as the reference rate in our cross-Canada cost comparisons.
CDCP and extraction: the balance-billing gap
Even though the CDCP covers extractions at 100% for the lowest income tier, the reimbursement is calculated against the CDCP Dental Benefit Grid rate — not the provincial suggested-fee-guide rate. In practical terms:
- If the CDCP grid lists simple extraction at $174 and your Ontario dentist charges $218, even the 100% tier covers only $174. You owe $44.
- In provinces where the guide fee is closer to the CDCP grid rate — PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick — this gap is smaller or negligible.
To minimise out-of-pocket cost, ask your dentist before the appointment whether they accept assignment (billing at the CDCP grid rate only, with no balance billing).
