My vet says two hours, but that is dropping her off pre-surgery and recovery time. How small do you consider small? How much faith do you have in your vet.( 3rd dog 25 + years, I really trust mine) maybe you should check out non surgical teeth cleaning. There are people who clean teeth without antithesis, no mater what you need to get them cleaned, if you don't you will need to have them removed.

A full visit, which usally includes paper work, a chat with the hygenists and the actual cleaning should take from 40 mins to an hour. You may have to wait in the waiting room for a while.
The procedure when all is said and done takes about 10 to 20 mins. includes flossing and rinse.

If you have been seen by a dentist regularly and take care of your teeth at home, and barring any problems you might be experiencing, a thorough cleaning by a dental professional usually takes about one hour.

My teeth cleaning appointments are 40 minutes. First the dental assistant looks at your teeth, picks/scales them (which takes a while sometimes), then cleaning, sometimes an xray is involved, tooth flossing, flouride rinse and then the dentist comes to check them.

it all depends on your oral hygiene, well obviously your has to be good for them to be allowing you a brace in the 1st place,
the hygienist/dentist will quickly scale your teeth and give you a polish so you are all clean for the braces to go on, once these are on regularly visit your dentist for a clean and keep brushing at home, because if you oral hygine doesnt look up to there standards they will really moan at you, in there eyes they say "if you cant keep your teeth clean with out a brace how will you with a brace which is half as difficult" and it is just keep smiling ohhh and brushing :)

Our office takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour...depending on your age...If you have not been to the dentist in a long time and you have calulous build up above or below the gum line, sometimes appointments are split up into more than one visit...and we take it one quadrant at a time...It really depends....but if you are an adult who has little build up, it generally takes 1 hour...if you are a child it takes 1/2 hour...if you are a teen it takes 45 minutes...that is how we operate at our office...Good luck!

Depends on your level of oral hygiene. People who brush regularly and take good care of their teeth can be in and out in as little as half an hour. The folks who let it slide for years at a time can be in the chair for up to two hours.

If your teeth are a bit grimy it can take up to an hour, but if you take good care of your teeth it will take maybe half an hour, believe me, I have experienced both sides of that equation.

I hope you meant your orthodontist...an orthopedist could really do a number on you with braces! :) A normal, healthy cleaning (meaning your gums are in good shape) takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour- depending on whether you have x-rays and an exam.

Depends on the dentist. You do mean how long does the actual appointment take, right? I would have to say any where in between 20 and 45 minutes. Also depends how fast you go in, versus time spent siting in a waiting room!
