How much does a dental check-up & cleaning cost in Beaverton?

It should also include a thorough exam completed by the dentist, a professional cleaning, X-rays, and an oral cancer screening. The average in markets throughout the United States is between $200 and $350. If you have insurance, these fees are likely to be covered by your plan.
What do you do if you can’t afford a dentist?
Dentistry is all about prevention. It is affordable and offers high value if you work with your dentist to prevent serious dental issues before they develop and require costly restorative treatments. Dental insurance is an effective tool to help pay for dental care. If you have access to it, this is a great benefit to take advantage of.
