What would you estimate a teeth cleaning would cost for someone?

without insurance? When I call to get an estimate they will say 50 or so dollars then they say but you also have to get X rays which are 40.00 each and you have to get 2 of them. This seems super high to me for a teeth cleaning. Thanks

What would you estimate a teeth cleaning would cost for someone?
When I went (I live in Michigan) I payed $100 for a cleaning, dental exam and x rays.
Reply:I would estimate around 100.00 dollars, for the whole thing, x-rays, and cleaning, (without insurance though)
Reply:refuse the x rays
Reply:the teeth cleaning alone where I am costs $90 bucks without anything else=Canada Ontario
Reply:there are so many variables. if they find a cavity or something bad, you might need to get it fixed. bring your checkbook.
Reply:there might be a local college in your area that offers teeth cleanings for cheap. it takes awhile cuz they are students but your teeth are cleaner than if you were too pay for a professional. it usually took me 2 sittings at 12 dollars each, no x-rays required
Reply:I had mine done today. Cleaning and two xrays CDN $133.85
Reply:$75-$100 would be a good estimate.





Unfortunately, you cannot simply walk into a dentist%26#039;s office and get ONLY a cleaning. Dentists have an obligation to treat any ongoing disease process that has to do with the teeth and gums. With this in mind, xrays are needed to diagnose any problems. An oral exam is also part of the initial appointment. All of this is usually done in one sitting along with the cleaning.





This is all for the benefit of your oral health. It is required by direction of state dental boards and ethical bylaws.
Reply:Just make a few phone calls and ask the same stuff. Be sure to say you%26#039;d rather not have x-rays. OR, you have a heart/lung condition that prohibits x-rays. (but you don%26#039;t remember the name of it.) Talking straight to the horse%26#039;s mouth is best.
Reply:I just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. The cost was $72.00.
Reply:I just had my teeth cleaning and X-rays done today.





The cleaning cost $95. X-rays cost $64. So its $159 total without insurance. Thankfully I had a dental discount plan in effect and it reduced both costs of cleaning to $56 and X-rays to $34. So I just had to pay $90 for the visit.
Reply:I%26#039;d say anywhere from $50 to $800. There are different types of cleanings, and there is no way that we could tell you on here without seeing x-rays and seeing in what condition your teeth are in. How long has it been since you%26#039;ve been to a dentist? When was the last time you had your teeth cleaned? You also have to factor in x-rays, which if you were a new patient at my office and were over 21, I would take a full set of x-rays on you (18 films) and then you also have to factor in the cost of the doctor%26#039;s exam, which legally, you have to have. More information would be helpful, so hopefully this helps.
