Professional Scale and Polish
When plaque and tartar build up below the gumline, a professional dental procedure is needed to properly clean the teeth and restore oral health.
At Dural Veterinary Hospital, professional dental scale and polish procedures are performed under general anaesthesia so that every surface of the teeth can be cleaned thoroughly.Tartar and bacteria are removed from both the visible tooth surfaces and the areas hidden below the gumline where periodontal disease begins.
Dental X-Rays
Much of a pet’s dental disease occurs below the gumline where it cannot be seen during a routine examination. For this reason we use veterinary dental X-rays to assess the roots of the teeth, surrounding bone and any hidden problems.
Dental radiographs allow us to detect issues such as tooth root infections, fractures, bone loss and resorptive lesions in cats. By combining dental X-rays with a thorough oral examination, we can diagnose dental disease accurately and plan the most appropriate treatment.

Extractions and Oral Surgery
Sometimes a tooth becomes too damaged or infected to be saved. In these cases, dental extraction is the best way to relieve pain and prevent ongoing infection.
Our experienced veterinary team performs surgical tooth extractions and oral surgery when required, using modern dental equipment and careful surgical techniques.Although removing a tooth may sound daunting, pets usually feel much more comfortable once diseased teeth are removed.
Management of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats, affecting the gums and structures that support the teeth. If left untreated it can lead to pain, tooth loss and infection.
Treatment focuses on removing infection below the gumline and addressing damaged teeth where necessary. After treatment, we help owners develop a long-term dental care plan including regular dental checks and home care to maintain good oral health
