Teeth Cleaning & Examinations

Annual dental checkups are crucial for maintaining your cat's overall health. Early detection of oral health problems can save your cat a lot of pain and discomfort.

Dental Surgery for Cats

We perform dental surgery for cats when required. Surgery may be required if your pet has a damaged tooth, extensive tooth decay, or periodontal disease.

Our team understands that it can be overwhelming to learn that your cat requires dental surgery. We will do what we can to make this process as stress-free as possible, for you and for your feline friend.

For you, we'll be sure to break down each step of the process in detail before the procedure, including preparation and post-operative care requirements.

For your cat, we will provide them with anesthesia before, and during their dental surgery, to ensure they are comfortable and do not experience any pain.

Additionally, our team uses a gentle approach when handling cats, ensuring their safety and well-being throughout the entire dental surgery process.
