Why it matters
The most common disease we see, and the most overlooked.
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions in dogs and cats, and because pets rarely show pain in an obvious way, most of it goes untreated until it is advanced. Left alone it causes pain, infection and tooth loss, and the bacteria involved can go on to affect the heart, liver and kidneys.
The problem is that most dental disease is invisible from the outside. A tooth can look perfectly healthy above the gum while the root below is abscessed or resorbing. That is why every dental procedure here includes full-mouth digital x-rays, taken in our own dental suite, before we decide what needs doing.
All procedures are carried out under general anaesthetic with pain relief included, and every patient is checked by a nurse afterwards before going home.
Signs to look for
Seven things that mean it’s time for a dental check.
Any one of these is worth an appointment. Two or more and your pet is almost certainly uncomfortable.
Persistent bad breath
Difficulty eating, or dropping food
Pawing at the mouth or face
Red, swollen or bleeding gums
Yellow or brown tartar on the teeth
Loose or missing teeth
Eating less, or losing weight

We recommend pre-anaesthetic blood work and fluid therapy for every patient, at £60. It is the one thing not included in the prices above, and it is the thing that makes the anaesthetic safest. Prefer to spread the cost? Ask us about paying over 12 months.

On the day
A day case. Home the same evening.
Here is what happens between dropping off and picking up.
Morning admission
Drop off first thing. We’ll give you feeding instructions when you book. A nurse checks your pet in and answers any questions.
Pre-anaesthetic checks
A vet examines your pet. If you’ve opted for blood work, it runs in our lab before anything else happens.
X-rays first
Under anaesthetic, we take full-mouth digital x-rays and only then decide exactly which teeth need treatment.
Treatment
Scale and polish, and any extractions, with pain relief throughout. We’ll call you if the x-rays change the plan.
Recovery & home
A nurse monitors recovery, checks your pet over, and talks you through aftercare when you collect them.
Not sure if your pet needs a dental?
Book a consultation and we’ll have a look. Health plan members get a free dental examination every year.
Frequently asked questions
Does my pet need a general anaesthetic?
Yes. Every dental procedure is done under general anaesthetic, for your pet’s comfort and so we can work safely and take x-rays. We recommend pre-anaesthetic blood work and fluid therapy (£60) to keep the risk as low as possible.
How long will my pet be with you?
Dental procedures are day cases. You drop off in the morning and collect the same day once your pet has recovered from the anaesthetic.
How often should my pet have a dental examination?
Once a year, as part of their routine health check. Health plan members get a dental examination included every year.
My pet has a heart condition. Can they still have a dental?
Usually, yes, but we will want to assess them first, and may recommend a cardiac ultrasound before the procedure. Get in touch and we’ll talk it through for your pet.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Ask us about paying for a dental procedure over 12 months.
Do health plan members get a discount?
Yes. Companion and Companion Plus members get 20% off every dental procedure, plus a free annual dental examination. View our health plans.
