Specialist VETERINARY Care
We provide advanced dentistry for pets, from routine cleanings to complex surgical procedures, ensuring optimal oral health and overall well-being.
How Dentistry Works
Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in adult cats and dogs, and it is entirely preventable. By the age of three, most cats and dogs show some evidence of periodontal disease. This “silent” disease often goes unnoticed, as pets typically don’t show pain and continue eating as normal.
The first sign pet owners often notice is severe halitosis (bad breath). If detected early, before significant periodontal disease develops, dental issues are treatable. However, if ignored, it can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems.
To help prevent this, we offer a special discounted price for the treatment of early-stage dental disease. Ask about our Grade 1 prophylactic dental cleanings at reception.
Safe Dental Anaesthesia
Many pets undergoing dental procedures are older and may have severe mouth infections. To ensure their safety and minimize the risk of complications, we strongly recommend pre-anaesthetic blood work. Each patient undergoes a thorough physical examination, followed by an anaesthetic protocol tailored to their specific needs.
Pre-anaesthetic medications are given to provide sedation and pain relief, and an intravenous catheter is placed. The patient is then maintained on gas anaesthesia, with intravenous fluids administered throughout the procedure. Vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen levels, respiration, and temperature, are closely monitored.
To help regulate body temperature, your pet is placed on a warmed water bed mat, and during recovery, they are carefully observed. Pain relief is administered to ensure your pet's recovery is as comfortable and smooth as possible.
