Cat: ah....I need dentist..
My opinion is ,you can try to clean your cats' teeth yourself ,to save the cost,you can buy an inexpensive cat "toothbrush" that goes over your finger, and special cat toothpaste (you should never use human toothpaste,cats know..)...!DIY cab save you some money,however if it been a while your cat didn't have proper dental care,there might be something they need to remove from the cat's teeth,which you can do it your self..
We talked about if the cat is put under anesthesia and has his teeth cleaned, scaled, and any necessary extractions performed. The fee probably includes pre-op bloodwork, the actual surgery, antibiotics, pain meds, and monitored post-op recovery time. Depending on the state of the cat's mouth, this procedure could take an hour or two or more - maybe 3-4 hours.
I have a good deal of experience with vets and cannot imagine any vet who is only going to charge $50 for a surgical dental procedure performed under anesthesia.
Aside from the cleaning, your cat will probably also need that broken tooth extracted, and canine teeth are the most difficult to pull.

I just think that we can't just tell those cats to sit still while that dentist work are under going. Pre-dental blood work will show possible problems with anesthesia, and most vets require it for animals that are over ten years of age before putting them under.
