I have been putting it off because I don\u2019t have dental insurance, but I know I need to go. What is the cost of a dentist\u2019s visit for a cleaning and exam? I know you can&#8217;t give me an exact cost for the dentist I choose but an average cost is okay. Thanks. Judy.<\/p>\n<p>Judy \u2013 The cost of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">dentist\u2019s visit<\/a> for an exam and cleaning can vary depending on whether a general cleaning or a deep cleaning is needed. Where you live in the country can also affect the cost.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have dental insurance, the average national cost for a cleaning and exam is about $180. Of course, the cost can vary. If you need a deep cleaning, it\u2019s more expensive\u2014$400 to $1800.<\/p>\n<p>You can call a few dental offices and inquire about the cost for an exam and cleaning without insurance, so you can plan in advance. You may also want to ask about your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/FinancialOptions\/\">payment options<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/\">Lowell dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven\u2019t been to the dentist in 3 years.
