There isn’t a universal price tag for dental checkups and cleanings. The average cost for these visits in the United States is in the range of $200 to $350, but different practices will charge different fees for their services depending on where they’re located. On top of that, there are a number of factors that can affect the overall cost of checkups and cleanings; this includes how healthy your mouth is as well as the coverage that your dental insurance plan provides for preventive care.

We’re happy to file your dental insurance claims on your behalf, and we’ll do what we can to help you maximize your benefits. On top of that, we can aid you with the process of applying for CareCredit financing. Thanks to CareCredit, you don’t have to pay the full cost of your treatment up front; you can divide it into smaller monthly payments instead.
