How much does dog or cat teeth cleaning cost?
We provide an individual estimate after assessing your pet. It covers the proposed care we discuss with you; the amount depends on your pet’s mouth, health and treatment needs. We ask for approval before adding treatment beyond that plan. Tell us about budget concerns so we can explain the options.
Why is anesthesia used for professional dental care?
Anesthesia allows a complete examination and cleaning above and below the gumline while protecting your pet’s airway and keeping them still and comfortable.
Will my pet need dental X-rays or extractions?
They may be recommended based on the examination and findings during the procedure. We explain the plan and consent process before treatment.
What time do I drop off and collect my pet?
Dental drop-off is generally between 8 and 10 a.m., with pickup often around 3–4 p.m. Confirm both times with the team. Pickup depends on your pet’s recovery and is confirmed before they go home.
Will you contact me before doing additional dental work?
Yes. We explain any additional treatment recommended beyond the agreed plan, discuss the estimate and ask for your approval before proceeding. Please remain reachable by phone during the procedure.
Will you follow up after the dental procedure?
Yes. Our team follows up after the procedure. You will also receive recovery instructions; contact us promptly if you have concerns rather than waiting for the follow-up call.
Can I improve dental health at home?
Yes. Brushing is the most effective home method for many pets, and your veterinarian can recommend other options that fit your routine.
