Dental Care
Healthy mouth, happier pet.
Dental disease affects most pets by the age of three, yet it is often overlooked. Bad breath, red gums, or difficulty chewing are warning signs that require attention.
Untreated dental issues cause pain, affect eating, and can impact the heart, liver, and kidneys over time. Pets rarely show obvious discomfort, so regular checks are essential.
Our services include oral exams during wellness visits, full dental procedures under anaesthesia, ultrasonic scaling and polishing, dental X-rays, and extractions when necessary.
We also guide pet owners on at-home care through brushing, dental diets, chews, and water additives to maintain oral health between professional cleanings.
Why choose us for dental care
Ultrasonic scaling and polishing
Removes tartar and plaque above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to slow re-accumulation.
Dental X-rays
Reveal hidden issues such as root infections, fractures, or bone loss that cannot be seen visually.
Surgical extractions
Careful removal of diseased or fractured teeth under anaesthesia with full pain management.
Gum disease grading
We assess periodontal health and explain what treatment or follow-up is needed for each pet.
Safe anaesthesia protocols
We monitor your pet closely during dental procedures to ensure safety and comfort, just like during surgery.
At-home care coaching
Learn brushing techniques, diet recommendations, and dental chews to maintain oral health between visits.
