What pets can we treat?
Dog dental care
Canine dental disease is often progressive, starting with mild plaque and leading to more serious issues such as periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Our approach to dog dental care is proactive - offering regular oral examinations, preventative treatments, and tailored advice to support long-term dental health.
Cat dental care
Cats are particularly prone to painful conditions such as feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions (FORLs) and gingivitis. Our veterinary team offers a full spectrum of cat dental care, from early detection through to surgical treatment where necessary.
We understand the subtle signs of feline oral discomfort and are here to help manage it effectively.
Signs your pet has dental problems
Recognising oral pain in animals isn’t always straightforward. Look for:
- Persistent bad breath
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Red or swollen gums
- Drooling or pawing at the mouth
- Facial swelling
- Tooth discolouration or mobility
If you notice any of these signs, early intervention is key. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation.
Our pet dentistry services
Our pet dentistry service is delivered by a skilled and dedicated team committed to achieving the best possible outcomes for every patient. We combine clinical expertise with a broad range of diagnostic equipment to support safe and effective treatment in a calm, caring environment. We’re pleased to offer both routine and complex dental care for dogs and cats at every age.
Oral examinations
Every pet dental treatment begins with a thorough oral examination. This includes a detailed assessment of the teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues, allowing us to identify concerns such as tooth fractures, gingival recession, or abnormal growths. A clinical oral exam is key to delivering safe, targeted care.
Dental cleaning (scale & polish)
We offer professional dental cleaning under general anaesthetic to remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from the tooth surface and beneath the gum line. This procedure is an essential component of routine pet dental care, helping to prevent periodontal disease and support overall oral hygiene.
Tooth extractions
When teeth become diseased or damaged beyond repair, extraction may be necessary to relieve pain and protect surrounding structures. Our team is highly experienced in surgical and non-surgical extractions, prioritising comfort, safety, and a smooth recovery for your pet.
Dental X-Rays
We use dental radiography to visualise the structures beneath the gum line, providing invaluable insight into root pathology, bone loss, and hidden disease. X-rays are a vital tool in modern pet dentistry and enable us to plan precise, minimally invasive treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Poor dental health can lead to pain, tooth loss, infection, and even systemic issues affecting the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular dental care, including professional cleanings and at-home brushing helps prevent disease and keeps your pet comfortable, healthy, and happy throughout their life.
At Advanced Vetcare London, we use modern anaesthesia protocols, advanced monitoring equipment, and highly trained clinicians to ensure your pet’s safety from start to finish. Before any dental work, we run a full pre-anaesthetic assessment to ensure your pet is healthy and minimise any risks.
Common signs include bad breath, drooling, difficulty eating, pawing at the mouth, red or bleeding gums, and visible tartar. Some pets show no obvious symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups are essential. Our veterinary dentists can assess your pet’s mouth and recommend the safest, most effective treatment.
