Dentistry

We know that a healthy smile is not only a sign of a happy pet but also crucial to their overall well-being. That's why we're dedicated to offering comprehensive pet dentistry services to ensure your furry family member's oral health!

Your pet’s dental health goes beyond just their teeth and gums. It impacts their overall health and quality of life. As with humans, dental disease in dogs and cats can lead to heart, liver and kidney disease, and is frequently associated with oral pain, infection and inflammation. Bacteria spread via the bloodstream from infected teeth to the internal organs, so dental disease affects the whole body.

Regular dental care can prevent dental diseases and maintain your pet’s vitality. From routine dental check-ups and cleanings to complex dental surgeries, we provide a full spectrum of dental care options for your pet. Our staff that perform and monitor dental patients have all undergone extra training in dentistry and ensure they keep up to date with the latest techniques and anaesthetic safety.

At the Vets have the best IM3 dental equipment including digital radiography and ultrasonic scaling tools, to provide the most accurate and effective dental services available. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are a fundamental aspect of our preventive care approach. Dental check-ups and teeth care consultations can be booked with our expert dental nurse – Cat.

Our skilled dental team is very experienced in pet dentistry, from prevention to diagnostics & surgeries. They are dedicated to your pet’s comfort, safety, warmth and well-being throughout the entire process. With pet dentistry, we can ensure that they have the brightest, healthiest smile possible, while also maintaining their overall health and happiness.
