Watch Dr Vanessa Waite give an overview of pet dental procedures at The Vet Station Molesey, she'll explain the process, equipment used, and the importance of anaesthesia and preventive care for maintaining pet oral health.
Dentistry
All of our team members have received advanced training in dentistry. Every patient is given the best standard of care.
This means that every single patient receives safety blood tests, fluids during anaesthesia, a full set of dental x-rays and a full mouth mapping.
Teeth will be cleaned and where absolutely necessary we can extract damaged teeth. All of our patients who have extractions will have local anaesthetic blocks.
​
We do not believe in compromising patient safety and wellbeing, so we do not de-scale and polishes without the safety checks and full examinations listed above.
We strongly believe in quality care for our patients, because they deserve that.

A dental examination can be booked via our booking page or PetsApp.
