A healthy mouth supports a healthier life. At South Fraser Animal Hospital, dental cleanings are performed with care and attention to detail. We remove plaque and buildup that brushing at home can’t reach, helping prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss. Your pet deserves to eat, play, and rest without discomfort—and it all begins with a clean, comfortable mouth.
After a dental cleaning, polishing smooths the tooth surface to help slow the return of plaque. At South Fraser Animal Hospital, we include polishing as a gentle final step that supports long-term oral health. A smoother surface means fewer places for bacteria to cling, helping your pet enjoy fresher breath and healthier teeth between professional cleanings.
Scaling removes the hardened tartar that brushing alone can’t fix. At South Fraser Animal Hospital, we perform ultrasonic and manual scaling to clean above and below the gumline. This process helps prevent painful gum disease and tooth loss. Our team approaches each procedure with patience and precision, supporting your pet’s comfort and overall well-being through every stage of dental care.
Preventive care is the heart of lifelong health. A dental prophylactic at South Fraser Animal Hospital includes thorough examination, cleaning, scaling, and polishing to help prevent dental disease before it begins. This service is especially important for pets prone to oral issues, giving them a fresh start and helping to avoid pain, infection, and more complex treatments later on.
Some dental issues hide beneath the gumline. At South Fraser Animal Hospital, dental x- rays let us see below the surface—revealing infections, bone loss, or hidden fractures. This tool gives us a clearer picture of your pet’s oral health, so we can make informed decisions that support healing, comfort, and a better quality of life for your companion.
