Your Pet Needs Anesthetic Dental Care
Your Veterinarian has identified dental disease in your pet that requires treatment.
Addressing dental disease is vital to maintaining systemic health and patient comfort. In dogs and cats, dental treatment for dental disease occurs under Anesthesia.
A Complete Oral Health Assessment is a full oral exam and full-mouth x-rays. X-rays show us the full structure of the tooth where the majority of dental disease presents.

It is difficult to predict what the full measure of dental disease and precise associated costs will be prior to the anesthetized oral examination and x-ray.
To help clients anticipate the costs of their pet's dental care, we can provide broad estimates for the usual range we see from pets with very little dental disease to pets who need advanced oral surgery.
All Anesthetic Procedures require the following to ensure a safe, pain-free procedure:
Pre-Anesthetic Blood Analysis: Complete Blood Count, Chemistries
Anti-nausea and antacid injection
Sedation, Anesthesia Induction
Endotracheal Intubation
Sevoflurane Anesthesia and Maintenance
Forced Air Patient Warming Unit
Anesthetist Electronic Vitals Monitoring
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Injection
Post-Operative Monitoring
All Patients undergoing a Complete Oral Health Assessment need:
Oral Radiographic Exam
Oral Cavity Exam
Probing and Charting
Teeth Scaling and Polishing
Depending on the grade of dental disease found, the pet may need:
Local-Block Anesthesia
Surgical Dental Extraction
Antibiotic Gel Application
Post-Operative Pain Medication (to administer at home)
Patients in the reversible stages of dental disease will be at the lower end of the range (around $1800 or six $300 payments* )
Patients with advanced dental disease may reach the high end of the estimate (around $3300 or six $275 payments*) this time but will hopefully need the lower end of care in future regular cleanings.
* We partner with Afterpay, Klarna, Affirm, ScratchPay and Care Credit to provide payment plans to break up the cost over several weeks up to 18 months.
