How much will it cost to remove a wisdom tooth without insurance?

I'm a stay at home mom married to a graduate student, so we have no dental insurance. I have one wisdom tooth that I think I need removed, however. How much cash will I need to fork over to get it removed?
--------------------
I am going off the prices at my office in Alaska...... The examination will cost approx. 100.00 The xray will cost about 35.00 or they may take a panoramic xray which is more likely for a wisdom which is 120.00- 150.00 The extraction itself ( if it is what would be considered a simple extraction) 200.00 But quite a few extractions are underneath the gum and considered to be impacted so that runs 300.00 or greater The doctor will need to examine you before he can tell you what type of extraction you will need and if he can do it in his office. About 35% of the time the patient will need to be referred to an oral surgeon (specialist).Then these prices are all greatly exaggerated!!!!! I hope this gives you an idea
