What is a Dental Cleaning?
Preventive care that catches problems before they become expensive ones
A dental cleaning is a routine appointment where a hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup, and your dentist checks for early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues. Most people need one every six months, though your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your oral health.
It's not just about a brighter smile. Regular cleanings catch small problems, like an early cavity or the first signs of gum disease, while they're still simple and inexpensive to treat. Skipping cleanings is one of the main reasons routine issues turn into emergency ones.
At The Dental Team's Milton locations, cleanings are handled by the same hygienists and dentists who know your history, so you're not repeating your story to someone new every visit.

This is for anyone due for their regular check-up, or anyone starting fresh with a dental home for the whole family.

What Patients Ask Us First
Honest answers to the questions every patient is thinking
These are the questions that stop most people from calling. Here's where we stand on all of them.
What will this cost, and does CDCP or insurance cover it?
Cleaning costs vary depending on your specific needs, so we won't quote a number before we've seen you. What we will do: check your CDCP eligibility or insurance coverage before your appointment, and walk you through any cost before you agree to anything.
Do I need to already be a patient here?
No. New patients are welcome, and cleanings don't require a referral. We'll get your information when you book.
What if it's been years since my last cleaning?
That's more common than you'd think, and there's no judgment here. Your dentist will assess where things stand and build a plan from there, starting with the cleaning itself.
What if it's outside your open hours?
Our Milton locations are open Monday to Thursday 9am to 8pm, and Saturdays 9am to 2pm (closed long weekends and Sundays). Book online or call during open hours to find a time that works.

It's okay to be nervous. A lot of our patients are.

Cost and coverage
What a dental cleaning costs in Milton
Here's how cost works at our Milton clinics, and how your insurance or CDCP coverage applies before you arrive.
What does it cost?
Does CDCP or insurance cover this?
If you're CDCP-eligible, dental cleanings are covered based on your household income (see coverage tiers below).
If you have private dental insurance, most plans cover routine cleanings, often at 100%. Either way, we'll help you understand your coverage before you're seen.
Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)
CDCP covers dental cleanings. Here's exactly how much.
The Dental Team is a registered CDCP provider. If you're enrolled in the Canadian Dental Care Plan, dental cleanings are covered, but the amount depends on your household income.
The biggest concern we hear from CDCP patients is balance billing, being charged more than what CDCP pays. We address this directly. We'll tell you the full cost and your exact out-of-pocket amount before any treatment begins.
Coverage — household income under $70,000
100% of eligible costs covered
No co-payment required for most cleanings.
Coverage — household income $70,000–$79,999
60% covered — 40% co-payment
You pay approximately 40% of the eligible fee.
Coverage — household income $80,000–$89,999
40% covered — 60% co-payment
You pay approximately 60% of the eligible fee.
Not enrolled in CDCP yet?
You can apply through Service Canada. Call us and we'll help you understand whether you qualify before your appointment.
Payment options
We accept all major credit and debit cards, and payment is due at the time of your visit.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about our dental cleaning services
If something isn't covered here, contact us — we're happy to answer any question before you book.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most people should book a cleaning every six months. Your dentist may recommend a different schedule depending on your gum health and history.
Do I need a referral for a cleaning?
No. Cleanings are routine care and don't require a referral.
Is a dental cleaning covered by CDCP or insurance?
If you're CDCP-eligible, cleanings are covered under the plan, though the amount depends on your household income (see coverage details above). Most private insurance plans also cover routine cleanings. We'll walk you through your coverage before your appointment.
Can my kids get a cleaning at the same visit?
Yes. Our Mississauga team sees patients of all ages, and family members can often be booked together or the same day.
What if I haven't been to the dentist in years?
That's fine. Your first visit will focus on assessing where things stand, and your cleaning and check-up go from there.
Do you offer evening or Saturday cleaning appointments?
Yes. Our Milton locations are open Monday to Thursday until 8pm and Saturdays 9am to 2pm.
We'll answer any remaining questions at your appointment. No commitment required.
