Teeth Cleaning & Checkups in Los Angeles

Teeth Cleaning & Checkups: what LA patients ask

How much is a teeth cleaning in Los Angeles without insurance?

A routine cleaning with exam and X rays typically costs $150 to $350, and many offices run new patient specials under $150. If the office says you need a deep cleaning instead, ask to see the pocket depth measurements that justify it, since that upsell is the most common complaint in LA dental reviews.

How often should I really get a cleaning?

Every six months is the standard for healthy mouths, and it is the interval most insurance covers twice a year. Patients with gum disease history often do better at three or four month intervals. Going more often than your gums require mostly benefits the office, so ask what your measurements say.
