Pet Dental Cleaning in Langley

Oral health is deepy connected to your pet's overall wellbeing. Left untreated, dental disease can cause pain and lead to systemic issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. As part of a comprehensive preventative care approach, we offer professional dental care to keep your pet's smile healthy and their breath fresh.

Our dental services include thorough cleanings, examinations, and polishing to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Advanced digital X-ray imaging helps us identify issues below the gumline.

Preventative Care

Regularly brushing your pet's teeth can effectively reduce the accumulation of harmful bacteria and plaque within its oral cavity.
It is generally more advantageous to adopt a proactive approach in contrast to a reactive one.
Human toothpaste should be avoided, as this can contain xylitol (also known as birch sugar), which is toxic to house pets.

Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are key to preventing painful oral conditions and supporting long-term health. Many dental procedures require safe anesthesia to ensure your pet remains comfortable throughout.

What happens during a dental cleaning

A health check first, and a talk about recommended pre-anesthetic bloodwork, so we know your pet is ready for anesthesia.
Your pet is under monitored general anesthesia, so the whole mouth can be cleaned safely and without stress.
We remove plaque and tartar, including below the gum line, then polish the teeth.
Digital dental X-rays show what can't be seen by looking: tooth roots and the bone around them.
Your veterinarian explains what was found and what it means for your pet.

Signs your pet needs a dental visit

Bad breath
Yellow or brown tartar on the teeth
Red or bleeding gums
Chewing on one side, dropping food, or avoiding hard food
Pawing at the mouth, or a swollen face

Is anesthesia safe for older pets?

Age alone isn't a reason to skip dental care. Before anesthesia your pet has a health check and we discuss pre-anesthetic bloodwork, which gives the team a safety baseline, and anesthesia is monitored throughout. Your veterinarian will talk you through the risks and benefits for your pet.
