Dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see in pets, and it often goes unnoticed until it causes real pain or more serious health problems. Plaque and tartar build-up can lead to inflamed gums (gingivitis), loose teeth, and painful infections. Left untreated, bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver.

Because pets won’t willingly sit still with their mouths open, all dental procedures require a full general anaesthetic. This allows us to safely and thoroughly examine each tooth, clean below the gumline, take dental x-rays if needed, and perform any extractions with minimal stress and pain. Every mouth is different, and what may seem like a simple dental can quickly become complex once we assess the full extent of disease under anaesthesia.

Dental surgeries can be time-consuming and costly because they are based on time as well as the level of care, equipment, and expertise involved—but they are a vital investment in your pet’s long-term health and comfort.

If your pet has bad breath, difficulty chewing, or red gums, it might be time for a dental assessment. We're here to help—whether it's a routine clean or advanced dental surgery, your pet's wellbeing is always our priority. See also Free Nurse Dental Checks.
