Dental Cleaning

A Oral health is an important factor in your pet's overall well being. We perform routine check-ups on your pet's teeth and gums, and we also recommend full cleanings once a year. This allows us to closely examine your pet's mouth, check for lesions or abnormalities, remove tartar and plaque, and polish their teeth.

To perform the dental cleaning your pet will be put under anesthesia to prevent them from moving around and to allow the doctor to perform a full examination and cleaning. We make sure that your pet is comfortable and perfectly safe during the entire process. While your pet is under the doctor examines the mouth, gums, tongue, cheeks, and teeth. This can reveal any cases of lesions, gum disease, tooth decay, or other problems. When these are discovered, they can usually be handled during the treatment. After examining the mouth the doctor will complete a full cleaning of the teeth and polish them thoroughly to give your pet a healthy, attractive set of teeth.

After the anesthesia wears off your pet is usually back to their normal self within minutes. Call us today to schedule a dental cleaning for your pet.

Cost of Dental cleaning

How much does it cost to clean my pet's teeth?

This is not a question we can answer over the phone or on a website. The cost for a dental cleaning actually varies from pet to pet because no 2 pets have the exact same dental disease. Yes, when we recommend a cleaning, your pet's mouth has a disease that can spread throughout the entire body. 

The costs of a dental cleaning at Parkway can range from $140 up to greater than $400, depending on the severity of the disease. We do offer FREE dental evaluations with our dental technicians and, if your pet does need a cleaning, we will give you an estimate for the procedure. There will always be a range on the estimates because dental disease goes way beyond what we can just see on the outside teeth.
