Teeth Cleaning Cost by State (2026)

What a routine adult teeth cleaning typically costs in every state without insurance, and what it costs a Clear Care member: nothing. Updated September 2026.

A teeth cleaning in the United States typically costs $120 if you pay cash, from about $90 in Arkansas to $250 in New York. A negotiated price usually lands between $47 and $162 depending on the state. Every state is in the table below.

What this covers

A routine cleaning (CDT code D1110, prophylaxis) is the twice-a-year visit: plaque and tartar removed, teeth polished, usually paired with an exam and X-rays. It is not a deep cleaning; that is a different procedure with its own page, deep cleaning cost.

A negotiated price usually lands between $47 and $162 depending on the state.

Clear Care has no fixed member rate for this procedure. When you book through the app, your concierge negotiates the price with the practice on your behalf and you see it in a treatment plan before anything happens. The negotiated range in the table is where negotiated prices in that market usually land; it is a guide, not a quote.

Why the range is so wide

  • What's bundled. Some practices quote the cleaning alone, others fold in the exam and X-rays.
  • How long since the last one. A cleaning after years away can turn into a deep cleaning.
  • Where you live. Hygienist wages and rent vary a lot by state.

What a Clear Care member pays

Two routine cleanings a year, a comprehensive exam and a full set of X-rays are included with every Clear Care membership. Included visits cost you nothing at the practice. That is the whole point of the membership: the visits that keep you out of the chair for a root canal are the ones that are free.

How to get a real number for your tooth

  1. Check the price in the app. The price check shows the typical range for your ZIP code, with and without the membership.
  2. Request the visit. Your concierge calls the practice, including the dentist you already see, and negotiates the price.
  3. Read the treatment plan. The negotiated price arrives in the app before treatment. Accept it or decline it; nothing is charged until you say yes.

Where these numbers come from

These are estimates, not quotes. They come from dental fee data we track for each state's largest metro area , last updated August 2026. Your own dentist's price, and the price your concierge agrees, will differ.
