|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dental exam (comprehensive, new patient) | 01202 | $90–$130 | ✅ Yes | Only needed at first visit or after a long gap; reduced exam at recall |
| Dental exam (periodic, recall) | 01202 | $50–$80 | ✅ Yes | Every 6 months for existing patients |

Why Dental Cleaning Costs Vary Between Visits
The biggest variable in cleaning cost is the amount of tartar (calculus) buildup and whether gum disease is present:
- Routine cleaning (no gum disease): 45–60 minutes, 2–4 scaling units billed. Total visit cost: $250–$350 including exam and X-rays.
- Moderate tartar buildup (no gum disease): 60–90 minutes, 4–6 scaling units. Total: $300–$420.
- Periodontal disease present: May require 2 appointments for “deep cleaning” (scaling and root planing). Total cost: $400–$700 for both quadrants.
- No X-rays due this visit: Total drops by $50–$100.
CDCP and Insurance Coverage for Dental Cleanings in Hamilton
CDCP (Canadian Dental Care Plan):
Dental cleanings, exams, and X-rays are fully covered under CDCP for eligible patients with income under $70,000. For income $70,000–$89,999, a co-pay applies. We bill Sun Life directly — no upfront payment for covered services. Bring your Sun Life CDCP member number.
Employer/private dental insurance:
Most plans cover cleanings at 80–100% under the preventive benefit, up to an annual maximum ($1,000–$2,000 is typical). We verify your benefit before your appointment. We direct-bill all major insurance carriers.
How Often Should I Get a Dental Cleaning in Hamilton?
- Every 6 months: Standard for healthy adults with good home care. Most insurance plans and CDCP cover 2 cleanings per year at this interval.
- Every 3–4 months: Recommended for patients with active gum disease, periodontal pocketing, or high cavity risk. This is a maintenance protocol — not a cost-grab.
- Every 12 months: Some adults with excellent home care and naturally low tartar formation can safely extend to annual cleanings. We will tell you honestly if this applies to you.
