Everyday care

Dental
surgery

Dental disease is one of the most common — and most under-treated — conditions in dogs and cats. Our dedicated dental theatre, digital dental X-ray, and fixed pricing mean your pet can get the care they need without surprises.

Why it matters

More than just
clean teeth

By the age of three, most dogs and cats show some degree of dental disease. Left untreated, this progresses — causing pain, difficulty eating, tooth root abscesses, and bacteria entering the bloodstream to affect the heart, kidneys, and liver.

The problem is that animals are very good at hiding dental pain. Many owners are surprised when a dental procedure reveals significant disease in a pet who showed no obvious signs of discomfort.

Regular dental assessments — as part of a routine consultation or health check — allow us to catch problems early. When treatment is needed, we are ready.

Signs your pet may have dental disease
Bad breath · Pawing at the mouth · Reluctance to eat hard food · Dropping food · Excessive drooling · Visible tartar or red/swollen gums · Changes in chewing habits

What we offer

Our dental services

All dental procedures are performed under general anaesthetic for your pet's safety and comfort. Our dedicated dental theatre is equipped with digital dental radiography — the same standard used in human dentistry.

Dental assessment
A thorough examination of your pet's mouth, teeth, and gums as part of a consultation. We will advise on the need for a dental procedure and what it is likely to involve.
Included in consultation£60 · PWP: included
Scale & polish
Ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth the tooth surface and slow future buildup. Performed under general anaesthetic with full monitoring.
Dog: £500 · Cat: £420PWP: Dog £450 · Cat £378
Dental extractions
Where teeth cannot be saved, extraction is performed under general anaesthetic with appropriate pain management. Our digital dental X-ray allows us to assess root structure before and confirm complete removal after extraction.

About our dental pricing
Our fixed prices include the procedure, general anaesthetic, anaesthetic monitoring, pre-anaesthetic checks, and pain relief to go home. Where extractions are required, these are graded and priced according to complexity — for dogs, Grade 1 (minor), Grade 2 (complex) or Grade 3 (multiple complex); for cats, minor or complex — as published on our fixed price treatments page.
