Dental Cleanings & Extractions

Dental disease is often overlooked by pet owners, but it can cause significant discomfort to your pets.

What is involved with a dental cleaning?

If it is determined that your pet requires a dental cleaning after oral exam, we will schedule a day for you to bring your pet in for the procedure. We will run pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure that your pet is completely healthy and ready to go under anesthesia. You pet’s vitals will be monitored at all times during the procedure, and an inflatable heating pad will be used to keep your pet’s temperature regulated throughout. First, digital dental x-rays will be taken to check for any advanced dental disease or other hidden problems in your pet. Then the teeth will be professionally scaled on all surfaces. This is followed by a thorough polishing to clean off any remaining tartar and leave a smooth surface.
