Bad breath isn’t normal. It’s a cry for help. Professional dental cleaning can add years to your pet’s life and make those years more comfortable.
Our comprehensive dental cleaning reaches areas that toothbrushes can’t. Using the same ultrasonic technology trusted by human dentists, we remove dangerous plaque and tartar from above AND below the gumline where 60% of dental disease hides.
A professional dog dental cleaning reaches where brushing can’t. Here’s what’s included in every cleaning we do.
Our comprehensive dental cleaning goes where toothbrushes can’t reach. Using the same ultrasonic technology trusted by human dentists, we remove dangerous plaque and tartar from above AND below the gumline—where 60% of dental disease hides.
Every professional cleaning includes:
By age 3, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease. Most suffer in silence because pets instinctively hide pain. Professional cleaning catches problems before they become painful and expensive.
We start with a thorough oral exam and pre-anesthetic blood work to ensure your pet’s safety. Every pet receives an individualized anesthetic protocol based on their age, breed, and health status.
Just like your dentist, we take comprehensive X-rays to see below the gumline. This reveals hidden abscesses, fractured roots, and bone loss invisible to the naked eye.
Our high-frequency ultrasonic scaler breaks up tartar without damaging tooth enamel. We meticulously clean every surface—front, back, between teeth, and most importantly, below the gumline where disease thrives.
This crucial step removes bacteria from periodontal pockets. It’s the difference between cosmetic cleaning and true dental health. Only possible under anesthesia, this deep cleaning stops infection at its source.
After scaling, microscopic scratches remain on tooth enamel. We polish each tooth smooth to prevent rapid plaque reattachment. A fluoride treatment strengthens enamel and provides lasting protection.
You’ll receive a detailed dental chart showing every tooth’s condition, any extractions needed, and X-ray findings. Plus, personalized recommendations for maintaining dental health at home.
You’ve seen “anesthesia-free” dental cleanings advertised. Here’s what they can’t tell you:
Without anesthesia, it’s impossible to:
Cosmetic cleaning might make teeth look whiter, but it leaves disease untreated below the surface. It’s like painting over rust—dangerous and deceptive.
Our veterinarians and licensed technicians have performed thousands of dental procedures. Every cleaning follows American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) dental guidelines.
Pre-visit calming medications, gentle handling, and advanced pain management ensure your pet’s comfort throughout the procedure.

Yes, anesthesia is essential for therapeutic cleaning. Without it, we can’t clean below the gumline where 60% of dental disease hides, take X-rays to identify hidden problems, or ensure your pet’s comfort. Modern anesthesia is extremely safe; we use pre-anesthetic blood work, customized protocols, and continuous monitoring. The risk of untreated dental disease, which can send bacteria to your pet’s heart and kidneys, far outweighs the risks associated with anesthesia.
