I am getting my top left wisdom tooth pulled and im so confused about my insurance. They say health insurance covers oral surgery if the tooth is boney and impacted. I dont know what that means! I want my dental insurance to cover it it would be so much cheaper. I have the one wisdom tooth and its there but its broken and black. Obviously its a cavity. Would that be boney and impacted or not. I hope its not. Thanks for your help!
What does Boney impacted tooth mean? I would like to see a picture. Any links with pics would work.?
The term "bony" impaction indicates that the wisdom tooth is still fully encased in the jaw's bone.
The link below has pictures.
Reply:I think boney and impacted is for wisdom teeth that are actually sticking out of your gums - you can FEEL them - and non-boney are ones that haven't actually surfaced.
Reply:boney impacted means... the tooth cannot erupt because it is covered by bone
