The average cleaning is about 20-30 minutes if you're seen on a regular 6 month basis and if you have a pretty good hygienist.

Depends on the size of the dog and the amount of work that needs doing. Most dogs need to be put under a General Aneasthetic for this sort of work, and that's a huge part of the cost. My vet has always suggested to do any dental work when they are having something else done at the same time (most dogs need a GA several times duing their lives) and this has saved me heaps. Different clinics do charge differently - a friend recently checked de-sexing costs for her 6 mth old pup, and got quotes ranging from $150 through to $550. The clinic overheads such as rental, whether they have the equipment on hand or have to get it in etc. all have an impact. It is usually best not to shop around but stick with the vet who KNOWS your dog, and has all their medical history on hand in case anything goes wrong. $500 for a basic clean seems a bit steep to me. Hope this helps.

How long has it been since you've had a cleaning? For adult patients that come in every six months to our office, our appointments are 50 minutes long. That includes time for x-rays and the dental exam. If it's been a long time since you've had your teeth cleaned, then it could take considerably longer. Sometimes we will have to tell new patients that we cannot clean their teeth in one appt so they need to come back for a "deep cleaning" which usually takes two one-hour-long appts. All dental offices are different though. I think most offices allow one hour for adult cleanings. And some offices allow additional time for new patients (two hours in some offices) to chart restorations, periodontal conditions, and take x-rays.

Most the time plan on an hour. Your hygienist should take xrays, check you for oral cancer, clean your teeth and polish them. Most usually you Dr. will also come in to look at your xrays and talk with you about any concerns you have.

I would say about 40 minutes. 20 to clean your teeth and 20 in the waiting room...with an appointment!

It usually takes 20min to an hour depending on many factors including any xrays and the exam by the dentist, and how much build-up you have on your teeth.
