Here is what you will pay

With a PPO plan

Without insurance

A routine cleaning in the Edmonds area typically runs $85–$155. A first visit that includes a comprehensive exam and X-rays commonly comes to $170–$320 before insurance. We confirm your exact cost before you sit down.

Two things drive what you actually pay: the type of cleaning (routine vs. deep), and whether you have a PPO plan. Both are straightforward. The sections below explain each one.

What affects teeth cleaning costs in Edmonds?

The type of cleaning is the main driver. Insurance is the second. Here is how each one works.

Maintenance

Routine cleaning

Also called a prophylaxis. Removes plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and just above the gumline. This is the standard twice-a-year cleaning for patients with healthy gums, and the one most PPO plans cover in full.

Typical range (WA region, 2025)
$85–$155
About routine cleanings
Treatment

Deep cleaning

Also called scaling and root planing (SRP). Goes below the gumline to treat gum disease. It costs more because it is a treatment, requires local anesthesia, takes longer, and often needs more than one appointment. Priced per quadrant of the mouth.

Typical range per quadrant (WA region, 2025)
$165–$260
Why deep cleaning costs more

New patient? Your first visit may be a bit more. A new-patient appointment typically includes a comprehensive exam and X-rays alongside the cleaning. That first visit commonly runs $170–$320 before insurance. We tell you the full cost when you book so nothing is a surprise at checkout.

Common questions about cost

A routine adult cleaning in the Edmonds area typically runs $85–$155. If it is your first visit, a comprehensive exam and X-rays are included, and that first appointment commonly comes to $170–$320 before insurance. We give you the full cost before you book — call us and we will walk you through what to expect.

Yes, for most PPO plans. Preventive cleanings are one of the most consistently covered dental benefits, typically at or near 100% for two visits per year. Coverage varies by plan, which is why we verify your specific benefits before your visit and tell you exactly what you owe.

They are different procedures. A routine cleaning maintains healthy gums by removing buildup above the gumline. A deep cleaning treats active gum disease by going below the gumline, requires local anesthesia, takes longer, and is usually done over two appointments. It is priced per quadrant of the mouth — typically $165–$260 per quadrant in the WA region — because the extent of gum disease varies.

We tell you the price before your visit. If you have insurance, we verify your benefits and give you your expected cost before you come in. If you are paying out of pocket, we give you the full total upfront. Nothing should arrive after the fact that you were not expecting.

Yes. We work with Cherry (split payments over 3–24 months, with 0% APR available for those who qualify) and CareCredit (interest-free for 6 and 12 months).

Most patients come in twice a year, which lines up well with what most PPO plans cover. Patients with gum disease may need more frequent visits. Our team sets a schedule based on your situation and tells you in advance what to expect cost-wise.
