What's Included in a Professional Pet Dental Cleaning
Our dental cleanings are performed with safety and precision in mind. Using anesthesia and advanced equipment, we clean below the gum line where plaque and bacteria are most likely to cause problems.
Your pet’s professional dental cleaning includes:
-
A physical exam and bloodwork to ensure safe anesthesia

Continuous monitoring by trained veterinary staff

Full-mouth digital X-rays for a complete view of the teeth and jaw
-
Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar

A detailed examination of each tooth

Extractions if necessary to prevent pain or infection

Aftercare recommendations tailored to your pet’s needs
Why At-Home Dental Care Matters
Even after a professional dog or cat teeth cleaning, home care is essential for maintaining your pet’s oral health. Simple habits can help reduce plaque buildup and delay the need for more advanced dental treatments.
Benefits of at-home dental care include:
-
Slowing the buildup of tartar between cleanings
-
Reducing the risk of gum disease
-
Keeping your pet’s breath fresh
-
Supporting long-term overall health
Home Dental Care Options for Busy Pet Owners
If daily or weekly tooth brushing isn’t realistic, there are still effective ways to support your pet’s dental health at home.
Options include:
-
Veterinary-approved dental chews
-
Tooth wipes or oral sprays
-
Prescription dental diets
-
Water or food additives designed to fight plaque
Our team can help you choose the best option for your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.
