A consistent oral hygiene regimen and regular cleanings, including anesthetic and anesthesia-free procedures, help your furry friend’s teeth and mouth stay cleaner and can limit the risk of periodontal disease, which is linked to systemic diseases of the kidneys and liver, heart disease, and lung disease.
Sunvet offers anesthesia-free dental cleanings for dogs and cats once per month.
Why Anesthesia-Free?
Non-anesthetic dental cleanings provide a non-invasive option for your 4-legged friend. These cleanings don’t require blood work or medication, which means there are no side effects or recovery time. Anesthesia-free cleanings are particularly helpful for senior dogs and cats that may be more susceptible to negative side effects of anesthesia. Sunvet is happy to help determine if your animal companion is the right fit for this service.

During the cleaning, our dental technician creates a calm, low-stress environment and uses specialized techniques to safely restrain dogs and cats.

Before and After Photos from Happy Patients
Jacques
Jacques is an adorable 13.5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. His owner knew a dental cleaning was warranted for this sweet little dude since he had been diagnosed with grade 3 periodontal disease. However, she wanted to avoid the risks involved with using anesthesia on him due to his age and since he has had negative reactions to anesthesia in the past.
Noodle
Noodle is a 6-year-old Maltese mix. She was a perfect candidate because of her gentle and trusting demeanor and her very mild tartar buildup.
