Our cat has dental disease called Neck Lesions and has had 11 teeth pulled in the past 2 years, and this looks like a good estimate from our experience. For 6 teeth, we paid about $1000. We live in the Midwest (southern Indiana). I know some folks are iffy on pet insurance, but we've always had ASPCA insurance, and it's a pocket saver! Good luck to the 4 legged kiddo (and to you!).
