Dog dental care pricing?

That seems super high to me. I paid less than $1000 at Montclair Veterinary Clinic. I can't find the invoice to tell you exactly how much it was. 

Oops, my cost was for a cat. I don't know if dogs are more. 

My dog had a dental cleaning and extractions and it was about $1800? For just a cleaning $2k sounds really high.

Hi- I've seen a few providers for a few dog's dental cleanings/anesthesia/xrays/extractions. They typically range between $1,200-$1,400 depending on how many extractions are needed. I believe the most we had taken out at once were 4 teeth. These were for small dogs with no other health issues. I know big dogs or dogs with other health conditions can be more expensive, due to anesthesia, but still seems really high. 

I just paid $4000 for a dog - anesthesia, teeth cleaning, and 6 teeth extractions.  Includes the cost for follow up visits.  Original quote for just anesthesia and cleaning, with no extractions was $1,569.75

We use."West Davis Vet Clinic--- They quoted price of $600 for this service (yes includes sedation)-- but perhaps your dog needs more attention..  --- clinic is highly touted in Yolo County--every vet we've seen has been great.  Dr. Yackey and wife Dr. Bradley set high standards...   530) 756-1766.  Thanks for adopting a rescue!  (There are so many needing homes in this state...and -- rumors are that no-kill facilities have been breaking their no-kill rule :((

in El Cerrito my dogs cleaning with multiple extractions was around $2,300.  I believe they gave me a high low estimate before.

My dog's recent deep cleaning under anesthesia cost a bit over $1000. Maybe $1300 or so? I forget exactly. It was expensive, but not $2000 expensive. 

That sounds a bit high but it also depends on how big your dog is--the primary cost is the anesthesia, which costs the same for teeth cleaning as it would for major surgery. We used to have a very large dog and those costs ran well north of $1K. Now we have a medium-sized dog and it's less. You can easily call some other vets and ask what they would charge for this service, though, given that it's pretty straightforward.

If your dog has known dental issues and thus most likely requires extraction, then the cost is quite normal for a good vet, assuming the procedure includes dental X-rays and pain meds to go home. 

I heard that Warm Springs Pet Hospital in Fremont is cheaper for dental. I did get an estimate for my cat and it was a lot cheaper than my vet's estimate. But I never actually had them do the work so can't speak to the service.

Consider a new vet. I recommend Dr Johnson in Moraga at Rheem Vet Hosp. He is excellent and reasonably priced and will do what makes sense for your new pup.

In my experience that's pretty typical (maybe even a bit low). I have a small dog with dental issues and I've been able to buy some time between anaesthetized cleanings at the vet by doing non anaesthesized cleanings every 6 months with Pettooth (www.pettooth.com). They are AMAZING, like dog whisperers. They have a narrow range of what they can do (can't be too far progressed) but in my experience, regular toothbrushing and cleaning can make the anaesthetized vet cleanings less frequent. Good luck.

If the quote includes some estimation for extractions, this seems spot on. I also used Dr. Yackey in Davis (someone mentioned them above) for anesthesia, x-ray, and a couple extractions in 2007 (so 16 years ago) for my small dog, for about $800. That Davis/Sac market is about 20% cheaper than the bay area for many procedures, so in 2023 I would think extraction there would be closer to 1.5k even in Davis. Often vets will give you 10% buffer in the estimate, or give you range that includes extractions so that you have an idea of what the final bill will be, considering looking for that in the estimate to see if it explains what you see!
