Comprehensive veterinary dental services for dogs and cats
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, and most cases go undetected until symptoms become significant. Regular professional care protects not just your pet's mouth, but their overall systemic health.

Dental Cleaning
Professional scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line, followed by polishing to reduce future build-up.
Oral Exams
Thorough examination of your pet's teeth, gums, tongue, and oral cavity to identify early signs of dental disease, infection, or structural problems.
Extractions
Safe removal of fractured, infected, or non-viable teeth that cannot be saved, performed under general anesthesia with appropriate pain management.
Dental X-rays
Radiographic imaging of tooth roots and surrounding bone to detect disease that is not visible during a surface examination alone.
Gum Disease Treatment
Assessment and treatment of periodontal disease including deep cleaning below the gum line, infection management, and ongoing monitoring.
Signs of Dental Disease
Signs that your pet may need a dental assessment
Pets rarely show obvious signs of tooth pain, which means dental disease often progresses silently. These are the most common indicators that an oral examination is needed.
Bad breath
Persistent or strong odor from the mouth is one of the most common early signs of dental disease or infection.
Difficulty eating
Dropping food, chewing on one side, or reluctance to eat hard food can indicate tooth pain, fractures, or gum inflammation.
Red or swollen gums
Healthy gums should be pale pink. Redness, swelling, or bleeding along the gum line suggests gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Excessive drooling
Sudden increase in drooling, especially if combined with pawing at the mouth, may indicate oral pain or a dental abscess.
Loose or missing teeth
Adult teeth should be firmly anchored. Loose teeth in adult pets are a sign of advanced periodontal disease and require prompt assessment.
The Dental Procedure
What to expect during your pet's dental visit
Every dental appointment follows a structured process to ensure your pet's safety and comfort from the initial assessment through to discharge and recovery at home.
01
Oral Examination
A full oral exam is performed to assess the condition of teeth, gums, and surrounding structures and to plan the procedure.
02
Pre-anesthetic Assessment
Blood tests are run before anesthesia to evaluate kidney and liver function, confirm the pet is safe to proceed, and tailor the anesthetic plan.
03
Dental Cleaning
Under general anesthesia, scaling removes tartar and plaque above and below the gum line using hand and ultrasonic instruments. Teeth are then polished.
04
Treatment
Dental X-rays are taken to assess root and bone health. Extractions, gum treatment, or other necessary procedures are carried out at this stage.
05
Recovery
Your pet is closely monitored as they wake from anesthesia. Pain management is provided and home care instructions are given before discharge.
Why Dental Health Matters
Oral health affects your pet's overall health
Untreated dental disease does not stay in the mouth. Bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and affect the heart, kidneys, and liver over time. Regular dental care is a direct investment in your pet's long-term systemic health, not just their smile.
Studies suggest that by the age of three, the majority of dogs and cats show early signs of periodontal disease. Most cases are preventable or manageable with regular professional cleaning and monitoring.
Prevents tooth loss
Early treatment preserves teeth that would otherwise need extraction.
Reduces systemic risk
Oral bacteria linked to heart and kidney disease in pets.
Eliminates pain
Dental disease is painful. Most pets hide it very well.
Improves appetite
Pets eat better and more comfortably after dental treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental care questions answered
Is bad breath normal in pets?
Mild odor can be normal, but persistent or strong bad breath in dogs or cats is usually a sign of plaque build-up, tartar, gum disease, or oral infection. It should be assessed by a veterinarian rather than managed with treats or toothpaste alone.
How often should pets get a dental cleaning?
Most dogs and cats benefit from a professional dental cleaning at least once a year. Some breeds or animals with faster plaque and tartar accumulation may need cleaning more frequently. Your vet will advise based on your pet's specific oral health condition and history.
Does dental cleaning require anesthesia?
Yes. Professional veterinary dental cleaning is performed under general anesthesia. This allows safe, thorough cleaning above and below the gum line, dental X-rays of every tooth, and full examination without causing pain, stress, or risk of injury to the pet.
