In all the countries I have lived in the cleaning is part of the inspection, and then they schedule a followup secondary visit if something needs more work done. The dentist doesn’t do most of the work unless it’s something more involved.
Maybe, I have zero clue about dentistry. When I go to the dentist they take the radiography, then feel around with a sharp stick, and that’s done in like 10 minutes.
Usually in the “feel around with the sharp stick” stage, they will scrap off plaque and buildup as well.
I mean, it is also just possible you have impeccable dental hygiene and they don’t have to do a whole lot. I hate sweets, which has the added benefit of generally keeping my teeth in good condition (minus staining from my coffee habit); my cleanings are pretty fast as well.
