Comprehensive Dental Care for Pets
Dental disease is one of the most common conditions affecting adult pets, yet it often goes unnoticed until serious problems develop. At Wylie, we take a proactive approach with thorough oral exams, early diagnosis, and treatment plans tailored to your pet’s needs.
We routinely treat:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Gingivitis and periodontal disease
- Tooth fractures, wear, and decay
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Oral pain and difficulty eating
If your pet has persistent bad breath, discoloured teeth, drooling, pawing at the mouth, or changes in appetite, it may be time for a dental check.
Dental Procedures We Offer
Our on-site veterinary dentistry services include:
Oral Examinations
A thorough assessment of your pet’s teeth, gums, and oral cavity is performed by our vets or qualified nurses. This is included in routine wellness exams.
Scale & Polish
Professional cleaning under general anaesthesia to remove tartar and plaque above and below the gumline. Helps prevent and treat gingivitis and early periodontal disease.
Digital Dental X-Rays
Essential for detecting hidden tooth root issues, abscesses, or bone loss not visible on visual exams. Radiographs, if necessary, are included in our dental costs.
Tooth Extractions
When necessary, we perform surgical or simple tooth removals for decayed, fractured, or infected teeth. All multimodal procedures include tailored pain relief and recovery support.
Why Pet Dental Health Matters
Neglected dental disease doesn’t just cause bad breath; it can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, systemic infection, and long-term organ damage. Regular check-ups and cleanings help prevent these risks, reduce discomfort, and improve your pet’s quality of life.
We recommend:
- Annual dental exams
- Daily tooth brushing (where possible)
- Dental-friendly diets and chews
- Prompt treatment if signs of dental disease arise
Pet Dental Care at the Wylie Wellness Centre
While full dental procedures (like X-rays and extractions) are carried out at our hospital in Upminster, wellness dental checks with a vet or nurse can also be booked at the Wylie Wellness Centre in Brentwood. If a procedure is required, our team will help coordinate care at our Upminster facility.
