950 is too much!
I would seek out a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion.
A regular, not deep, cleaning should suffice.
Like a mechanic, it seems like you are being upsells.

I am surprised that after 30 years all you need is 1 deep cleaning. I didn't see a dentist for 10 years and it took a lot more than that to clean up teeth, gums, fill grinding, etc.
I'd probably confirm what exactly a deep cleaning entails.

My teeth are in good shape > I had a check-up (exam/xrays) today and was quoted $950 for a full teeth deep-cleaning.
I just went to a local clinic nearby - and will be paying in all ca$h - and was wondering if this price is on par with what a deep-cleaning costs.
No laser needed.
Thx!
Your story could be my own - too long between dentist visits, too many other expenses to manage without insurance. I have an appoint for cleaning scheduled in the New Year so I will be curious if I encounter the same response. Keep us posted.

And this is why I'm enjoying all the memes claiming Luigi was at Bible study on December 4 and not spending time reading the "what about his wife and children?" posts. We should be doing better than this.

I just needed deep cleaning (it was called “scaling and root planing” per my EOB) and it was $75 per tooth (I needed it for all 4 back molars). So if it’s that and you have a lot of areas that need it, then I guess $900 could be reasonable. For a regular cleaning, even my expensive non-insurance participating dentist charges $175.

I do not know what a deep cleaning is. It's high for a regular cleaning...but cheap for 30 years of buildup.vvIcwoujd ask how it differs from a standard cleaning and if the standard would be ok

PP...so by deep cleaning...is it periodontal treatment called "scaling"?
https://www.mouthhealthy.org/all-topics-a-z/scaling-and-root-planing
Anything periodontal gets marked up.
Being clear about the procedure may help people comment more accurately.

It seems like a lot to me, but I have insurance and am out of state.
If you didn't have cavities, then you probably eat right and don't have gum disease, so what are they cleaning?
