What Affects the Price
A few things move the final number. Understanding them helps you plan.
- Amount of Buildup: scaling is billed in 15-minute units, so more tartar means more units and a higher price.
- Exam and X-Rays: these are often billed separately from the cleaning itself.
- Add-Ons: polishing and fluoride may be extra at some visits.
- Regular vs Deep Cleaning: a deep cleaning for gum disease costs more and is billed by the area treated.
Expert Insight
The largest part of most cleaning bills is scaling, billed in 15-minute units at roughly $70 to $76 each under the 2026 ODA guide. Patients who keep regular six-month visits usually need fewer units, so staying on schedule tends to cost less over time.

FAQs About Dental Cleaning Cost
Q1. How Much Is a Dental Cleaning in Woodbridge?
A routine dental cleaning in Ontario typically costs about $150 to $300, or roughly $200 to $350 with an exam and X-rays. A deep cleaning is quoted separately by the area treated. These are general ranges, not quotes, and you get a clear estimate first.
Q2. Why Do Cleaning Prices Vary So Much?
Scaling is billed in 15-minute units, so the more tartar you have, the more units are needed and the higher the cost. Exams, X-rays, polishing, and fluoride may be billed separately. Regular visits keep buildup low and costs down.
Q3. Does Insurance Cover Teeth Cleaning?
Yes. Cleanings are a basic preventive service that most private and employer plans cover well, often at 70 to 100 percent up to your annual maximum. Confirm your specific benefits with your insurer, and we can help you understand your coverage.
Q4. Does CDCP Cover Dental Cleanings?
Yes. The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers cleanings and scaling for eligible patients, scaled to income. Many patients pay little or nothing. Coverage rules can change, so confirm your current eligibility before your visit.
Q5. How Much Does a Deep Cleaning Cost?
A deep cleaning, or scaling and root planing, is billed by the area of the mouth treated, so the total depends on how many areas need it. It costs more than a routine cleaning. We provide a clear estimate after checking your gums.
Q6. How Often Should I Get a Cleaning to Save Money?
Every six months is ideal for most people. Regular visits keep tartar from building up, which means fewer scaling units and a lower cost each time. Skipping cleanings often leads to more expensive treatment later.
