There is a reason prices are usually not given over the phone - it depends on the position of the teeth and the level of eruption. A dentist who has to remove bone is naturally going to charge more than if it is a simple, erupted extraction. The fees relate to the time and effort needed to remove the tooth. Also, there are follow-up visits to check healing and remove stitches if any are placed. All these visits are included in the extraction fee, so you can see how it could vary.
In addition, the cost of anesthetic is involved. If you have just a local (an injection to numb the area) it will be a lot less than if you request general anesthetic. An alternative might be an oral sedative such as Halcion or Valium.
In my area, fees for a general dentist to do a simple extraction run from $160 to $200. A surgical extraction (where soft tissue needs to be removed) would be more, a boney (where bone tissue is removed) even more. The dentist should be able to tell you based on a physical exam and looking at the x-rays.
It makes sense to do all of your wisdom teeth at once - one anesthetic, one recovery, etc.
Remember, this is surgery. Not a time to go for the cheapest. Can you get a loan from a relative?

about $1500 for all 4 that was the price for me but i have insurance so my copay wasnt much just $30. so its pretty expensive but it could pay off because wisdom teeth can cause major problems if u dont have them removed and you need to. goodluck

Why do you need to get your wisdom teeth removed? It's very expensive, very unpleasent, and very pointless.
