How much a professional dental cleaning costs in Dnipro
In short: at Houston professional hygiene costs from UAH 2,000 for the GBT Light protocol and from UAH 2,750 for full GBT. The difference is not a «luxury» level but the amount of work: on healthy gums the light protocol is enough, with calculus the full one is needed. Below — what you pay for and why it is cheaper than it seems.
How much hygiene costs
GBT Light
from UAH 2,000. Maintenance hygiene on healthy gums — when you come regularly and there is no serious calculus.
Full GBT (EMS Prophylaxis)
from UAH 2,750. When there is plaque, pigment and calculus — the full protocol with thorough removal of deposits.
A periodontist consultation — from UAH 590. If the state of the gums already calls for treatment rather than hygiene alone, the dentist will say so at the examination and explain the scope separately.
What the GBT protocol includes
GBT is not the name of a device but a sequence of steps, and that is exactly what you pay for:
- Plaque indication. The teeth are stained with a special solution to reveal all the plaque, including what is invisible to the eye. That way nothing is missed.
- Air-Flow. Plaque and pigment from coffee, tea and tobacco are removed with a stream of fine powder — gently on the enamel and gums.
- Ultrasound spot by spot. Dense calculus is removed with ultrasound only where it actually is, not «all over the mouth just in case».
- Polishing and fluoridation as needed. The teeth become smooth, and plaque accumulates more slowly on a smooth surface.
Each step is described in detail in the article on GBT hygiene (Air-Flow).
Why Light is cheaper
The difference between Light and the full protocol is not in the quality of the device but in how much work there is. If you come every six months and there are no serious deposits, the dentist does not need to spend long removing calculus with ultrasound — Air-Flow and polishing are enough. That is Light. When calculus has had time to form under the gums, there is more work, hence the full protocol and a higher price.
What determines the price
- Amount of plaque and calculus. The main factor. Healthy teeth — Light, neglected ones — full GBT.
- State of the gums. If there is inflammation or calculus under the gums, a more thorough protocol is needed.
- Regularity. Every six months is simpler and cheaper than «once every few years».
- Individual factors. Braces, smoking and a tendency to staining add to the work.
Why this is not just «cosmetics»
Professional hygiene removes not only surface plaque but also calculus — the main cause of gum inflammation and of decay at the gum line. Neglected calculus under the gums leads to periodontitis, and that means loss of bone around the teeth and, eventually, tooth mobility. So a cleaning should be seen not as «freshening up the smile» but as prevention of far more expensive problems. On this — the article on bleeding gums and periodontitis.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a professional dental cleaning cost in Dnipro?
At Houston GBT Light hygiene costs from UAH 2,000 and the full GBT protocol (EMS Prophylaxis) from UAH 2,750. The difference is not «budget» versus «premium» but the scope: Light suits maintenance on healthy gums, full GBT is for when there is plaque and calculus and more thorough work is needed.
How does GBT differ from an ordinary ultrasound cleaning?
GBT is a protocol, not a separate device. First the teeth are stained with an indicator to reveal all the plaque, then it is removed with a stream of fine Air-Flow powder, and only the dense calculus with ultrasound, spot by spot, where it is. An ordinary cleaning often comes down to ultrasound alone over all the teeth, which is less gentle on the enamel and gums.
How often should a cleaning be done?
The guide is every six months, but the exact interval depends on how quickly plaque forms for you, whether you are prone to calculus and whether you wear braces. For smokers and people with gum disease the dentist may advise every 3–4 months. Regular hygiene works out cheaper than treating the consequences of neglected calculus.
Why isn't the price given exactly over the phone?
Because the cost depends on the scope: on healthy teeth with little plaque the Light protocol is enough, while with dense calculus under the gums there is more work. The state is only visible at an examination, so the exact sum is given after it. A periodontist consultation is from UAH 590.
Does a professional cleaning damage the enamel?
No. The Air-Flow powder stream does not touch the tissues the way old abrasive methods did, and with the correct protocol the enamel is not harmed. On the contrary — removing plaque and calculus takes away the main cause of decay and gum inflammation. What harms enamel is rather home experiments with baking soda and abrasive pastes.
Can a cleaning be done with bleeding gums?
Not only can it, it should — bleeding is most often the very sign that plaque and calculus have already caused inflammation. Professional hygiene removes the cause and the gums calm down. But if the bleeding is pronounced, the dentist first assesses whether it is already periodontitis — on this, the article on gum inflammation.
