Would you pay $1-$2k for a professional dental cleaning for your cat?

Hello! Recently we took our cat to the vet for a regular checkup. Her breath has been noticeably smelly and the vet said they noticed a fair amount of plaque and tartar build up and recommended a cleaning. Unfortunately that cleaning will be anywhere from $1100-$2000 depending on if she needs any extractions.

We will do it if needed but we are getting a lot of feedback from friends and fellow cat owners that they would not pay for it and it's not necesarry.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: thank you for all the feedback! Will definitely be getting her teeth cleaned.
