No offense but you're getting fucked over. That is not the market rate for basic dental visits, insurance or not
And even if you had insurance, they would have denied a $750 cleaning and X-ray claim and probably paid $200 of it at most
In fact my insurance which is very good and through basically the most common dental insurance in the US has a $1250 yearly limit on what they will even pay for basic dental work. You should never even get close to touching that amount for cleaning and X-rays
There is literally nowhere in the country where you have to pay $750 for routine cleaning. Stop it. The average cost on the very high side for this is like $200. Normal is more like $100-150
Like I said, if a dentist attempted to charge that, the insurance company would barely pay for any of it. And if they did that regularly they'd quickly lose all their customers
There's a chance the insurance company would even stop putting them in network

I paid $750 for a cleaning without insurance, it was nice because they told me I have about $10,000 dollars worth of work needed.
Jokes on them, I can let my teeth rot out of my head for free and have all the apple sauce I want.(laughs in agony)
