In Toronto (and throughout Ontario), the cost of a standard dental cleaning can vary widely based on factors like the practice’s fee guide, the amount of scaling required, and whether x-rays are included. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from CAD 150 to CAD 300 for a basic cleaning. Most clinics follow the Ontario Dental Association’s fee guidelines, while others set their own rates. Key considerations: Scaling Units: Dental offices often bill by the time (or “units”) spent on scaling, so more extensive cleanings cost more. Additional Services: Polishing, fluoride treatments, or x-rays may not be included in the basic cleaning fee. Insurance: Many insurance plans (including some government programs) help cover part or all of the cost. Coverage depends on your specific plan and provider. For the most accurate estimate, it’s best to contact your dental hygiene office or dentist directly and inquire about their fees and any potential additional costs.

A dental cleaning includes an examination, removal of plaque and tartar, personalized oral hygiene instructions, and polishing. Additional treatments like fluoride or sealants may be applied as needed.
