Pet Dentistry in Surrey
Looking after your pet’s teeth plays an important role in their overall health and wellbeing.
​
At Ashley Veterinary Pet Hospital, we provide dental care for both cats and dogs, including dental examinations, scale and polish procedures, and tooth extractions where required.
​
Regular dental checks can help identify problems early and reduce the risk of pain, infection and more serious dental disease.
Signs of dental problems can include:
​
-
Bleeding gums
-
Bad breath
-
Difficulty eating
-
Loose or missing teeth
-
Drooling
-
Pawing at the mouth
-
Weight loss
-
Changes in appetite or behaviour
​
If you notice any of these signs, we recommend arranging a dental check with one of our vets.
-
Dental disease is five times more common in dogs than humans. Regular care, including brushing with pet-specific toothpaste, dental chews, and a proper diet, helps maintain healthy teeth. We offer free nurse consults to guide you on at-home dental care.
Dogs commonly develop plaque and tartar, which can lead to gum disease, discomfort and infection if left untreated.
We offer:
​
-
Dental examinations
-
Ultrasonic scale and polish procedures
-
Tooth extractions where necessary
​
Our team will assess your dog’s teeth and gums and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
-
Cats can develop dental conditions including gingivitis and tooth resorption.
Because cats often hide signs of pain, regular dental checks can be particularly important.
​
We provide thorough dental care tailored to feline patients, with treatment recommendations based on your cat’s individual needs.
Ultrasonic scaling and polishing help remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line, reducing the risk of further dental problems. The procedure is carried out under anaesthetic, and pets can usually return to normal eating once they are fully awake.
In addition to our standard dental care, our visiting dental specialist can provide more advanced treatment for complex cases.
This may include:
​
-
Full-mouth extractions
-
Composite restorations
-
Root canal treatment
-
Crowns
-
Mandibulectomies and other maxillofacial procedures
-
Orthodontic management
​
Please contact us to arrange a consultation. If your pet has been referred to us, our dental specialist can also provide an estimate for the recommended procedure.
