Hygiene (Dental Cleaning)

Scaling Time dependant

The removal of tartar, plaque and calculus from your teeth, both above and below the gums. Done at every cleaning appointment with either hand instruments or an ultrasonic instrument. Scaling is charged based on time – every 15 minutes is one unit of scaling ($77.21). The frequency and amount of scaling varies depending on the health and condition of your gums, but most adults need 2-3 units of scaling, twice a year. However some patients may need to come in 3-4 times a year.

  • 1 unit: $80.30
  • 2 units: $160.60
  • 3 units: $240.90

Composite Restorations (Fillings)

Composite Fillings – Baby Teeth Varies

A white resin filling placed on baby teeth after the cavity is removed. The fee for fillings is dependant on the size of the filling and how many surfaces of the tooth it covers (the tooth is divided into five surfaces – top, front, back, left and right). The larger the cavity gets, the more complex the procedure becomes and the more time it will take.

Typically we will only do fillings up to three surfaces – beyond that we likely will elect for a stainless steel crown as it is more reliable and cost-effective. The most common fillings are:

  • 1-surface back tooth: $168.98
  • 2-surface back tooth: $213.60
  • 3-surface back tooth: $275.64
Composite Fillings – Adult Teeth Varies

A white resin filling placed on a tooth after a cavity is removed or to fix chipped or damaged teeth. The fee for fillings is dependant on the size of the filling and how many surfaces of the tooth it covers (the tooth is divided into five surfaces – top, front, back, left and right) as well as the location of the tooth (front or back tooth. The larger the cavity gets, the more complex the procedure becomes and the more time it will take. The most common fillings are:

  • 4-surface front tooth (ie. chipped tooth): $287.84
  • 1-surface back tooth: $175.42
  • 2-surface back tooth: $247.30
  • 3-surface back tooth: $292.78

Crowns, Bridges, and Veneers

Core Buildup $283.86

A filling material placed on the tooth prior to having a crown. If the underlying tooth has a bad filling or or a big cavity it needs to be rebuilt with a resin filling material before having a crown placed over. It is not always needed for every crown.

Zirconia Crown/Ceramic Crown (white tooth) $986.87 + lab

A restoration that covers the entire tooth to either protect it from breaking down further or to improve its esthetics. Usually made from a zirconia material, which is very strong, or a ceramic material, which is more esthetic. A crown is recommended if you have had a large filling that is at risk of breaking, a previously root-canaled tooth, a broken tooth, or a tooth that may benefit from improved shape and color.

Gold Crown $986.87 + lab

A restoration made of a gold alloy that covers the entire tooth to either protect it from breaking down further. The lab fee will vary with the price of gold, and this type of restoration is typically only done on posterior teeth where durability is the primary concern.

A zirconia or ceramic crown placed in the mouth after the implant screw has fully healed. The lab fee will vary with the type of components needed to fabricate your crown.

Bridge (white tooth) Varies

A permanent restoration that cannot be removed, used to replace a missing tooth (or teeth). Cost is dependant on the length of the bridge and how many teeth need to be replaced.

  • Pontic (the fake tooth): $524.73 + lab
  • Abutment (the “caps” on the adjacent teeth used to hold the bridge in place): Abutment $1078.99 + lab

Wisdom Teeth Extraction Varies

Cost will differ based off of the location of the tooth and the difficulty of removing it. This procedure can be classified as uncomplicated, complicated, partially impacted (partially submerged in the jaw) or completely impacted (fully submerged in the jaw).

  • Partially-impacted tooth removal: $429.49
  • Complete impacted tooth removal: $572.67

Other Services

Implants Starts at $3,766.87
