How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Species, Body weight (kg), and Dental disease grade (0-4).
  2. Set Extractions needed.
  3. Review the Total estimated cost ($) ($) result.
  4. Use Anesthesia cost ($) ($) and Prophylaxis cost ($) ($) to inform your decision.

How the result changes with Body weight (kg)

90$600.00

What each input means

Species
0 = Cat, 1 = Dog (small <10 kg), 2 = Dog (medium 10-25 kg), 3 = Dog (large >25 kg).
Body weight (kg)
Patient body weight in kilograms. Affects anesthesia cost.
Dental disease grade (0-4)
0 = Normal, 1 = Mild gingivitis, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe, 4 = Advanced periodontitis.
Extractions needed
Number of teeth requiring extraction.

What each result means

Total estimated cost ($)
Total dental procedure cost estimate including anesthesia, prophylaxis, and extractions.
Anesthesia cost ($)
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork, induction, maintenance, and monitoring.
Prophylaxis cost ($)
Scaling, polishing, and curettage based on disease grade.
Extraction cost ($)
Total extraction costs based on number of teeth and complexity.
Cost per extraction ($)
Per-tooth extraction cost based on disease grade complexity.
Total teeth (species)
Normal adult tooth count for the species.
Remaining teeth after extractions
Teeth remaining after planned extractions.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Species = 1, Body weight (kg) = 10, Dental disease grade (0-4) = 2, Extractions needed = 0 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total estimated cost
    Total estimated cost = anesthesiaCost + prophylaxisCost + totalExtractionCost
    360 = $360
  3. Calculate Anesthesia cost
    Anesthesia cost = 80 + weightKg * 3
    110 = $110
  4. Calculate Prophylaxis cost
    Prophylaxis cost
    250 = $250
