Scheduling a dental cleaning for your dog or cat can feel overwhelming—especially if it’s their first time. At Phoenix Mobile Veterinarians and Animal Hospital, we want pet owners in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Mesa to feel confident and informed about what happens during the process. Our goal is to provide the most thorough, safe, and compassionate dental care possible.

Here’s what you can expect when your pet comes in for a professional dental cleaning at our Scottsdale hospital.

Step 1: Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation

Before any procedure, we conduct a full physical exam and review your pet’s medical history. For safety, we also require pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate organ function and ensure your pet can undergo anesthesia with minimal risk.

Step 2: Safe Anesthesia and Monitoring

Professional dental cleanings require anesthesia so that we can fully examine and treat every tooth. During the procedure, your pet is closely monitored using advanced equipment to track heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature. Our trained staff ensures your pet’s comfort and safety from start to finish.

Step 3: Full-Mouth Dental X-Rays

We take digital full-mouth X-rays for every dental patient. This allows us to detect hidden disease below the gumline, such as abscesses, resorptive lesions, or bone loss, that cannot be seen during a visual exam alone.

Step 4: Scaling and Polishing

Our team uses ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar both above and below the gumline. After scaling, teeth are polished to smooth enamel surfaces and reduce future plaque buildup.

Step 5: Comprehensive Oral Exam and Treatment

Each tooth is examined for fractures, infection, or mobility. If advanced disease is found, our veterinarians may recommend tooth extractions or oral surgery to eliminate pain and prevent further health complications.

Step 6: Recovery and Aftercare

Once the procedure is complete, your pet is carefully monitored as they recover from anesthesia. We provide pain management if extractions were performed and detailed at-home care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
