If your dog has bad breath, sore gums, a broken tooth, or trouble eating, you are not alone. Dental disease is one of the most common causes of chronic pain in dogs, and it often progresses quietly. Our team provides calm, gentle vet dental care focused on comfort, safety, and clear communication.

What we do in a vet dental consultation
We start with a gentle assessment and a history of your dog's eating, behaviour, and mouth comfort. We will check for obvious dental disease, gum inflammation, and any signs of oral pain. If a dog dental procedure is recommended, we explain why, what it involves, and how we keep your dog safe before, during, and after treatment.
Dog dental cleaning is not just cosmetic
A proper vet dental procedure addresses disease below the gumline, where pain and infection often hide. Many dogs need more than a surface clean to improve comfort and long-term oral health.
Vet dental procedures we commonly provide
- Comprehensive dog dental examination and dental health planning
- Professional dog dental clean and polish with ultrasonic scaling
- Digital dental X-rays for dogs to identify hidden disease
- Tooth extraction for infected or painful teeth
- Advanced management of periodontal disease and gingivitis
- Treatment for fractured teeth and oral trauma
- Aftercare plans including home dental care guidance
- Dental products available at our online pet shop
Not every dog needs the same approach. Some dogs do well with early intervention, while others need extractions to resolve pain and infection. Our experienced vet dentist team in Burwood has treated thousands of dog dental cases.
Dog dental X-rays, why they matter
Dogs can have significant disease under the gumline even when the tooth looks normal. Dog dental X-rays can help identify root infections, bone loss, and hidden fractures so we can make the best plan for your dog's comfort and long-term outcome.
Dog tooth extraction, what to expect
Tooth extraction sounds scary, but many dogs feel noticeably better once a painful tooth is removed and the infection is resolved. We focus on gentle handling, thorough pain relief, and clear aftercare instructions so you know what is normal during recovery and when to contact us.
Dog dental costs and planning
Dog dental procedures start from $1400 and vary depending on your dog's size, how advanced the dental disease is, whether dental X-rays are needed, and how many extractions are required. After an assessment, we provide a clear plan and an estimate range so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently asked questions
My dog has bad breath, is it always dental disease?
Bad breath is most commonly linked to dental disease, but mouth infections, gastrointestinal issues, and other conditions can contribute. A dental assessment helps identify the most likely cause and the best next step.
My dog seems fine, do they still need a dental?
Many dogs hide oral pain. Subtle signs include eating slower, chewing differently, dropping food, or becoming head shy. A check can catch early disease before it becomes more painful and expensive to treat.
How often should dogs have dental care?
It depends on breed, age, and home care. Small breeds and brachycephalic dogs often develop dental disease earlier. Regular check-ups and consistent home dental care can reduce the frequency of professional procedures.
