What Affects the Cost of a Dental Cleaning?

Several factors can influence your cleaning cost:

  • Type of cleaning: Routine versus deep cleaning (scaling/root planing).
  • Gum health: Patients with gum disease may need more extensive cleaning.
  • Amount of tartar buildup: Heavier buildup requires more time and effort.
  • Frequency of visits: More frequent cleanings can reduce overall time and cost.
  • Additional procedures: Fluoride treatment, polishing, or exams may be added.

Are Dental Cleanings Covered by Insurance?

Yes—most private dental insurance plans in Ontario cover routine cleanings every 6 to 9 months. Coverage typically includes scaling, polishing, exams, and sometimes X-rays.

If you are eligible for the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP), you may qualify for fully or partially covered dental cleanings, depending on your age, income, and oral health status.

Always check your policy or speak with your dental office for specific eligibility and coverage details.
