Question 1

What does a dental cleaning include?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Crystal Clean Dental Hygiene accepts many insurance providers, including coverage from the government’s CDCP, ensuring stress-free treatments for all.

Question 4

How much does a dental cleaning cost in Canada?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What exactly does the new patient exam include? How much will I need to pay for the exam?

Accepted Answer

A new patient oral health exam includes an assessment of your dental, gum, and oral health. X-rays are often needed and may add to the total cost depending on the number and type of images required.  As a starting point, expect the exam itself to be $92–$182, and if X-rays are required, those can range from $40 upwards, depending on the type and number of images taken.
