What does a dental cleaning cost?
A routine cleaning with an exam typically runs about $75–$200 without insurance; a deep cleaning for gum disease costs more. Here's how to know which you need — and how to pay less.
Routine vs. deep cleaning
A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline and keeps a healthy mouth healthy. If you have gum disease, a deep cleaning — scaling and root planing — cleans below the gumline and is priced per section of the mouth, so it costs more.
We'll never upsell you into a deep cleaning you don't need. After a quick exam we'll tell you honestly which one you need and what it costs.
