Welcome to Animal Dental Clinic, where patient safety and comfort are our highest priorities. We provide carefully monitored general anesthesia for all advanced dental and oral surgery procedures to ensure precision, pain control, and a stress-free experience for your pet.
General anesthesia allows us to perform thorough examinations, diagnostic imaging, and specialized treatments safely and effectively.
Unlike humans, pets cannot remain still or cooperate during complex dental procedures. General anesthesia ensures:
Anesthesia allows our dental specialists to perform comprehensive oral examinations, periodontal probing, dental radiographs, extractions, orthodontic procedures, and oral surgery safely.
At Animal Dental Clinic, anesthesia protocols are carefully designed based on each patient’s individual needs.
Before administering anesthesia, we conduct a thorough physical examination and review your pet’s medical history. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork may be recommended to evaluate organ function and overall health.
This assessment allows us to customize the anesthesia plan for maximum safety.
Each anesthesia plan is tailored to your pet’s age, breed, weight, and health status. We use modern anesthetic agents selected for safety, effectiveness, and rapid recovery.
During anesthesia, trained veterinary professionals continuously monitor:
Advanced monitoring equipment allows us to respond immediately to any changes.
After the procedure, your pet is closely observed in a quiet recovery area. We ensure they are stable, comfortable, and fully awake before discharge.
Modern veterinary anesthesia is very safe when administered by trained professionals using proper monitoring protocols. While all anesthesia carries some level of risk, complications are rare, and careful screening significantly reduces risk.
Our team takes every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety from pre-procedure evaluation through recovery.
General anesthesia is required for most advanced veterinary dental procedures, including:
It is also necessary for accurate periodontal probing and thorough cleaning below the gumline.
Your pet remains pain-free and unaware during the procedure.
We can perform comprehensive diagnostics and treatment without movement.
Intubation prevents debris and fluids from entering the lungs.
Stable conditions allow for precise, high-quality dental care.
No. General anesthesia prevents pain and awareness during treatment.
The duration depends on the procedure but is carefully controlled and monitored.
Most pets recover smoothly and return home the same day.
Yes, with proper screening and individualized protocols. Age alone is not a contraindication.
For safety and sterility reasons, owners cannot remain during the procedure, but we provide updates as needed.
If your pet requires dental or oral surgery care, rest assured that general anesthesia at Animal Dental Clinic is administered with precision, safety, and compassion.
