The average cleaning is about 20-30 minutes if you're seen on a regular 6 month basis and if you have a pretty good hygienist.

I would say about 40 minutes. 20 to clean your teeth and 20 in the waiting room...with an appointment!
Reply:Most the time plan on an hour. Your hygienist should take xrays, check you for oral cancer, clean your teeth and polish them. Most usually you Dr. will also come in to look at your xrays and talk with you about any concerns you have.
Reply:It usually takes 20min to an hour depending on many factors including any xrays and the exam by the dentist, and how much build-up you have on your teeth.
Reply:How long has it been since you've had a cleaning? For adult patients that come in every six months to our office, our appointments are 50 minutes long. That includes time for x-rays and the dental exam. If it's been a long time since you've had your teeth cleaned, then it could take considerably longer. Sometimes we will have to tell new patients that we cannot clean their teeth in one appt so they need to come back for a "deep cleaning" which usually takes two one-hour-long appts. All dental offices are different though. I think most offices allow one hour for adult cleanings. And some offices allow additional time for new patients (two hours in some offices) to chart restorations, periodontal conditions, and take x-rays.
