Impacted wisdom tooth. Anyone know a good oral surgeon that has a fair cash price?

I had a root canal gone bad and saw Dr. Lewis Cummings (281-358-6136) in Kingwood for the extraction and implant. Very pleased with the level of service and care they gave and paid cash in payments (I think it was half at the consultation and half at the extraction or half at extraction and half at implant). The nice thing is they called in my Rx a few days prior to the procedure so I didn't have to go to pharmacy in pain afterwards. For my 2 wisdom teeth extractions, I went to Dr. Grier with Cleveland Dental Associates (281-592-5865) and they did it in house for under $500 for both I believe. Initial X-ray and consult is $100 and they have payment plans and an in house "insurance" program that takes 15% off your services and includes 2 free cleanings a year. Only thing is it's in Cleveland. But she and her staff are all pleasant as was the male dentist that did my extractions. I drove home on my own afterwards and had minimal swelling and pain thanks to meds. (Went to work the next day.) I had more swelling and some bruising from the failed root canal extraction than the 2 wisdom teeth, but I think that's because there was already existing damage and then after extraction they had to pack the hole with bone to prep site for implant.
