What to Expect from a Pet Dental Procedure
A typical pet dental care appointment includes:
- Oral Health Assessment: We examine your pet’s mouth and may recommend blood tests before anaesthesia.
- Dental X-Rays: To assess below the gumline, we take X-rays to identify hidden issues.
- Anaesthesia & Cleaning: Under general anaesthesia, we perform a complete dental cleaning, including scaling, polishing, and any extractions if necessary.
- Recovery & Discharge: Most pets go home the same day with aftercare instructions and pain relief and/or antibiotics as required.
- Home Dental Plan: We offer tips and products to help you care for your pet’s teeth between professional cleanings.
