It all depends on what your insurance covers.
I had two out last year. One surgically and one in the dental office.
My health insurance didn't cover any of them, and I have a really good hmo plan from my wife's work. I got the picture that many are dropping dental surgery even if impacted like mine was.
Luckily dental insurance covered a portion of each.

One piece of advice I would give to anyone is if you find you need wisdom teeth out do it while you are as young as possible. I was 41 and it is harder to get an impacted one out as you get older. I made it through ok, but they said my recovery would be somewhat longer. It really wasn't fun.

I also experienced some nerve issues after. I still have off and on numbness in my left jaw.
