A standard dental cleaning typically costs less than $100 and insurers pay for the preventive treatments, according to Fair Health, a national nonprofit corporation dedicated to bringing transparency to healthcare costs and health insurance information.
This includes the cost of local anesthesia and follow visits. The cost for a regular dental cleaning, called prophylaxis, averages between $75 and $85, while the average cost for periodontal scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) is between $175 and about $900. Periodontal maintenance costs after undergoing periodontal treatment average $115.
