What is involved in a dental procedure?

A dental procedure is a day procedure in which your pet goes under a short general anaesthetic in order for us to clean and polish their teeth to remove any plaque and bacteria. It is similar to what humans have done at a dentist and the scaling and polish is not painful however does require a general anaesthetic.   

Our services cover a full mouth examination including dental x-rays to ensure that your pet’s teeth are not only healthy on the outside but that the roots and surrounding bones are healthy too.

If your pet requires extractions we are fully equipped and trained in this field. Your pet will receive nerve blocks, pain relief prior to and after waking up and pain relief to go home with to ensure their recovery is smooth and comfortable and that your pet’s teeth are the healthiest they can be.
