Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams
The time needed for an exam and cleaning can vary, depending on the condition of the patient’s teeth among other factors. If it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a dentist, these services will likely take longer than they will for someone who visits a dentist regularly. Still, we can usually complete an exam and cleaning in about an hour.
The standard cost for a cleaning and exam at our office is $346. Many insurance plans cover the cost of two cleanings and exams a year. Those without insurance may want to join our in-house savings program. A flat fee covers the cost of two annual exams and cleanings and offers a reduced rate for other services. Our $199 new patient special includes a standard exam and cleaning with X-rays and a kit for at-home teeth whitening.
For the best results, you should see us every six months for a cleaning and exam. It helps keep your teeth and gums in great shape, which is why many insurance plans cover the cost of biannual cleanings and exams. For those without insurance, we have an in-house savings program that covers the cost of these services and offers discounts on other services too.
The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth at least twice daily and flossing once a day. Unfortunately, that alone is not enough to prevent harmful plaque buildup that causes cavities and gum disease. That’s why it’s important to see a dentist twice a year to ensure that your teeth and gums are clean and healthy.
