How much time does a deep cleaning take at the dentist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1 1/2 - 2 hours: If the deep cleaning is being performed by a dental hygienist, it should take about an hour and a half to two hours to complete. If the deep cleaning is done by the dentist him or herself, it should take between one hour and an hour and a half to complete.
