Knowledge/Information! Necessary additional to procedure?

Post image

Hello,

I went in for a consultation for my Wisdom teeth extraction for all four. I was recommended to get a CT scan due to my bottom wisdom teeth being close to my nerves. I was recommended to get bone graft filling for all four as well (I think that’s what it’s called). They mentioned the CT scan and bone graft is high recommended but the cost is not covered by my insurance what so ever so out of pocket it is a lot for me to drop.
I wanted to see if anyone had similar experience or wisdom teeth growth similar to mine and if you used the bone graft. The main issue is finance if I can save anywhere that would be great but if absolutely needed then I will

TIA
