Hello! My name is Victoria, and I’m an Oral Health Therapist at Clean Teeth Dental. I’ll be looking after you at your upcoming appointment.

Gum health is something we take seriously. One of the most common questions we get is: how much does teeth cleaning cost?

The cost depends on the health of your gums and what level of treatment is needed. Below are the three possible outcomes from your visit:

1. Simple Cleaning – $280
If you’ve had a professional clean within the last 6 months and have healthy gums (no bleeding, or deep pockets), a simple scale and polish may be enough. 

2. Active Gum Disease – Assessment Required $245
If you experience bleeding gums, recession, deep pockets, or loose/sore teeth, you may have active gum disease. In this case, treatment won’t be done on the day. Instead, we’ll start with a Periodontal Assessment ($245), including a full gum charting. A panoramic x-ray (OPG, $120) may also be recommended. This helps us provide a diagnosis, treatment plan, and quote.

3. No Treatment on the Day – Admin Fee $100
If you decline the recommended assessment or treatment on the day, a $100 administration fee will apply.

Important Notes:

  • Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows incur a $100 fee.

  • Local anaesthetic, if needed, is $80.

  • We’re not liable for dental restorations that may dislodge during cleaning—repairs are at your cost.

  • Two missed/cancelled appointments in a row will require full, non-refundable prepayment for future visits.

  • I assess your gums only; dental examinations are done by the dentist, Dr. Marwan, at a separate visit.

  • Payment is expected at the time of your visit.

Kindly reply to this email to acknowledge receipt and acceptance of the above information. All questions or concerns regarding the above, must be address prior to your appointment. If we don't receive a timely confirmation reply to this email, your appointment will be cancelled.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Warm regards,
