Your pet’s dental cleaning will be performed while they are under general anesthesia. This ensures their safety and comfort while enabling our team to provide comprehensive dental care. All cleanings include a thorough oral exam, teeth cleaning, and polishing to remove plaque and tartar. We start by carefully examining the mouth, making note of any abnormalities in the teeth or gums. Next, we perform tooth scaling to remove plaque and tartar both above and below the gum line. Finally, we polish the teeth to remove scratches and prevent plaque build-up.

Yes! We require certain tests prior to placing patients under anesthesia. Doing blood work lets us check for health problems that could put your pet’s safety at risk during surgery

Complications are extremely rare, and most pets recover from teeth cleaning procedures with ease. They almost always return home the same day. Your furry friend may be a bit sleepy from the anesthesia. They may also experience some minor discomfort and soreness. We may send your pet home with pain medications or antibiotics. In these cases, we’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you ensure an easy recovery for your pet.
