Bacteria from the gums can easily travel through the bloodstream, potentially damaging the heart, liver, and kidneys. To prevent these complications, we provide comprehensive dental services using the latest medical technology.
PET DENTAL CARE
ORAL HEALTH IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF YOUR PET’S OVERALL WELL-BEING.
DENTAL ASSESSMENT & PREVENTION
Every "nose-to-tail" health check at our hospital includes a thorough inspection of your pet's teeth and gums.
Complimentary Nurse Checks
We offer free dental check-ups with our nursing team, who can advise on the level of tartar or gingivitis present.
Professional Escalation
If the nurses identify significant damage or decay, they will escalate the case for further veterinary examination.
Home Care Advice
We provide guidance on preventative measures, such as brushing techniques and the use of raw bones to help reduce tartar build-up.
ADVANCED DENTAL PROCEDURES
For pets requiring professional intervention, our hospital is equipped with a dedicated dental suite, keeping these procedures separate from our sterile surgery rooms (which is important).
Ultrasonic Technology
We use advanced ultrasonic dental scaling and polishing machines to remove calculus and restore tooth surfaces.
