On average, how long will a deep cleaning take at the dentist?

Usually about : 45 minutes to an hour to do two quadrants. Again each practice is entitled to its own time allocation. Hope this helps.

Depends on You: Like with any "hands-on" medical or dental treatment, it depends on how much disease you have, how much work has to be done, and several other factors. If you're in decent shape, it might only take about 90 mins. If you're in really rough shape, it could take a few hours. It really depends on your condition and how much work it's going to take to correct.
