Dentistry in Canada: what a check-up and cleaning cost

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to published clinic price lists in November 2026, a dental check-up in Canada costs about CA$38, X-rays taken at a check-up about CA$41, and a professional teeth cleaning about CA$123. Dentists set their own fees, so larger treatments such as implants, braces or dentures are quoted by each dentist for your case, and a request on BlaBlaPrice is the quickest way to get current offers.

There is no single price for a check-up, a filling or an extraction in any city. Fees are shaped by labour, materials and overhead, so the same treatment can cost different amounts in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, and in each case the dentist decides the final fee.

Local rules and what to check

Before you book, check that the dentist's licence is current with the provincial regulator. In British Columbia, dentists with unrenewed licences are not permitted to practise, so an expired licence is a real reason to choose another dentist. Dentists are also not required to follow the provincial dental association's suggested fee guide, which is only a reference. Ask for a written estimate that names each treatment and its fee.

Season and planning

Dental work is done indoors, so the cold months from December to February do not stop it, but winter travel to an appointment can be slower. Plan around snow and short days, and book a check-up before a larger treatment starts, so that any problems are found early. Many people plan a course of treatment over several visits, which gives the clinic and you time to agree on the order of the work.

What to put in the request

Name the service you need: a routine check-up and cleaning, a treatment such as a filling or extraction, implants, dentures and veneers, braces and aligners, whitening, or children's dentistry. Say whether the need is urgent, which teeth are involved, whether it is for an adult or a child, the district of your city and your budget. Mention if you have dental insurance, so that clinics can quote accordingly.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words, and the AI asks for missing details before it looks through clinic websites and price lists in Canada. Dental practices registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own quote, and the buyer's contacts stay hidden until they choose to share them. It is free for buyers.
