- • Specialized veterinary oral surgery, micro-extractions, and gum treatment performed under absolute clinical safety guidelines.
- • Premium tooth polishing to smooth micro-abrasions, slowing down future plaque and bacterial adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my pet require anesthesia for a dental cleaning?
Anesthesia is medically necessary for safe veterinary dental cleanings. Unlike humans, pets will not stay completely still. Anesthesia allows us to clean below the gumline comfortably, perform diagnostic digital X-rays without fear, and insert secure breathing tubes to prevent aspiration of bacterial debris into the lungs.
