Example estimate
In writing, before we start.
What changes the price
Every mouth is different, and X-rays show what the eye can’t. Extractions, a deeper clean under the gum or extra pain relief can change the total. If we find something, we call you with the new number before we do anything.
Prices are examples. Your vet writes your estimate after the exam.

| Full-mouth dental X-rays | $210.00 |

Questions
Asked at the desk every week.
Still unsure? Call and ask for a nurse. Nobody minds a quick question.
Does my pet really need anesthesia for a cleaning?
Yes. Most dental disease sits below the gum line, where we can only clean and X-ray safely while your pet is asleep. A cleaning without anesthesia only polishes what you can already see.
Is anesthesia safe for an older pet?
Age is not a disease. The blood panel on the morning tells us how your pet is doing inside, and a nurse watches breathing, heart rate and temperature from start to finish.
What if a tooth needs to come out?
We call you first, explain what the X-ray shows and give you the cost before we do anything. If we can’t reach you, we leave the tooth and plan a second visit.
How often does my pet need a cleaning?
Most dogs and cats need one every one to two years, small breeds more often. We look at teeth at every wellness exam and tell you when it’s time.
