How much does a dentist appointment cost?

Question

I am new in Melbourne and my health insurance does not cover dental charges.Just wondering how much it will cost me for a general check up and cleaning?

Answer 1

It really does depend....

If you want something really cheap, try going to a dental school and see if they have a clinic. When I was in school, the clinic was charging 35.00 for a new-patient visit. That was for an initial check-up and x-rays.

My dentist charges 75-80 for just a check up. I have no idea what he charges for cleaning.
Dentists are expensive, it sucks to have to pay that much to go somewhere you hate!!

Depends on what dentist you go to

It depends on who you go to. Everyone sets their own charges.
