Does insurance cover it
Many dental plans cover a routine cleaning in full, and part of fillings, crowns and root canals. Dentures and implants are often covered in part, or not at all, and plans have a yearly limit. Aspen Dental says the $29 offer is for people who do not have insurance. Dental Cleaning Cost says a cleaning is often $0 with a PPO plan. Aspen offices are run separately, so each office decides which plans it takes. Call the office and your plan before you book. Ask for a written estimate that shows what the plan pays and what you owe.
How to judge your quote
- Ask for a written price for each item before you book.
- Ask if the $29 offer is only the exam and X-rays.
- For dentures, ask which tier is in the price and if the savings plan is needed.
- Ask what your insurance pays and what you owe, in writing.
- Compare the total with the range above: $29 to $1,841 per service for most people in 2026.
Ways to pay less
- Use the $29 new patient offer for the exam, then ask for a written price on every item before you book.
- If you need dentures, the $49 savings plan pays for itself on the Basic tier.
- Compare the implant denture quote with a local prosthodontist. Aspen's $7,628 to $13,297 range is close to national averages.
- Ask for the periodontal (deep cleaning) price per quadrant up front. Aspen lists $210 to $435.
