Affordable Dental Cleanings
Most insurance covers preventive cleanings at 100%, and we offer transparent pricing for self-pay patients.
Most Insurance Covers Cleanings at 100%
Routine cleanings are considered preventive care, which most dental insurance plans cover at 100% with no copay or deductible. If you have dental insurance, your twice-yearly cleanings should typically cost you nothing out-of-pocket. We verify this before your appointment.
Transparent Pricing for Self-Pay Patients
If you do not have insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates. Our new patient special bundles your first exam, x-rays, and cleaning at a discounted rate. We give you the total cost upfront so there are no surprises.
Deep Cleaning Pricing Discussed Before Treatment
If you need a deep cleaning instead of a routine one, Dr. Bhatia explains why and provides the cost before starting. Deep cleanings are typically priced per quadrant, and you may need 2 to 4 quadrants depending on the extent of gum disease. We give you the total upfront.
Periodontal Maintenance Saves Money Long-Term
If you have a history of gum disease, more frequent cleanings (every 3 to 4 months) prevent the disease from progressing. The slightly higher annual cost is far less than the cost of treating advanced gum disease, which can include surgery, bone grafts, or tooth loss.
Same Quality of Cleaning Regardless of How You Pay
Whether your insurance covers the cleaning, you are paying out-of-pocket, or you are using our new patient special, you get the same thorough cleaning from the same hygienist. Cost does not affect care quality at our office.

How Cleaning Costs Work at MySmile
For routine cleanings, the math is simple: if you have dental insurance, you almost certainly pay nothing. Preventive care is covered at 100% by most plans. Even patients without insurance find that a cleaning is one of the most affordable things they can do for their teeth, far cheaper than treating problems that develop without preventive care.
For deep cleanings, the cost depends on how many quadrants need treatment. Mild gum disease in one area might only require one quadrant of deep cleaning. More advanced cases may need all four. Dr. Bhatia evaluates your gums, takes measurements, and tells you exactly what is needed and what it will cost before any work begins.
If you have not had a cleaning in years, you may need a deep cleaning to catch up before transitioning to routine maintenance. We treat this as a one-time investment in your gum health. After the deep cleaning is done, ongoing routine cleanings every 6 months (or 3 to 4 months for periodontal maintenance) keep things affordable.

How much does a dental cleaning cost in Anaheim Hills?
Routine dental cleanings typically cost $100 to $250 without insurance. Deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) cost $150 to $350 per quadrant, and you may need 2 to 4 quadrants. Most dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings at 100% and deep cleanings at 50% to 80%. We verify your benefits before your appointment so you know your exact out-of-pocket cost.
Does insurance cover dental cleanings?
Most dental insurance plans cover two routine cleanings per year at 100% as part of preventive care. This usually means no copay and no deductible. Deep cleanings are typically covered at 50% to 80% as a periodontal procedure (after your deductible). Coverage varies by plan, so we verify your specific benefits before your appointment.
What is the difference between a routine and deep cleaning cost?
A routine cleaning costs less because it is preventive care for healthy gums, removing plaque and tartar above and just below the gumline. A deep cleaning costs more because it treats active gum disease by going further below the gumline, requires local anesthesia, and is typically split across multiple visits. Routine cleanings are usually $100 to $250 total. Deep cleanings are $150 to $350 per quadrant.
Why are deep cleanings priced per quadrant?
Your mouth has four quadrants (upper right, upper left, lower right, lower left). Deep cleaning each quadrant is a separate procedure that takes time and requires individual numbing. Pricing per quadrant reflects the actual work done. Some patients only need 1 or 2 quadrants treated, others need all 4. The total cost depends on how many quadrants need treatment.
What if I cannot afford a deep cleaning?
We offer financing through Cherry, CareCredit, Sunbit, and LendingClub. Many plans offer $0 down. If insurance covers part of the cost, financing can spread the remaining balance over manageable monthly payments. We can also stage the treatment, treating one or two quadrants at a time over multiple visits, which can spread cost across calendar years to use multiple insurance maximums.
Can I just get a routine cleaning if I need a deep cleaning?
We do not recommend it. A routine cleaning does not address the bacteria below the gumline that is causing your gum disease. Skipping the deep cleaning means the gum disease progresses, which leads to more bone loss, looser teeth, and eventually tooth loss. The cost of treating advanced gum disease is far higher than the cost of a deep cleaning now.
How often should I get a cleaning to keep costs down?
Most adults should get a cleaning every six months. Skipping cleanings actually costs more long-term because problems caught early (small cavities, early gum disease) are inexpensive to treat. Problems caught late (large cavities, advanced gum disease) require expensive treatments like crowns, root canals, and periodontal surgery. The cost-effective approach is consistent preventive care.
Are children's cleanings priced the same?
Children's cleanings are similar in price to adult cleanings, often slightly less. Most dental insurance plans cover pediatric preventive care at 100%. Some pediatric visits also include fluoride treatments and sealants, which may be billed separately. We provide a complete cost estimate before any treatment begins.
