Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a non-invasive dental treatment that uses high-frequency sound waves to break down plaque, tartar, and bacteria on your dog's teeth and beneath the gumline. The device is motionless and silent, producing microbubbles that reach into the gaps that a standard toothbrush cannot. There is no scraping, no anaesthesia, and no discomfort. Results depend on your dog's behaviour and cooperation during the session.

Often, yes. Bad breath in dogs is most commonly caused by a build-up of plaque, tartar, and bacteria in the mouth. When we are able to remove that build-up, which is often the case, the improvement in breath can be significant. If the bad breath stems from digestive issues or other underlying health conditions, cleaning the teeth alone will not resolve it. If you are unsure of the cause, a vet check-up is always a good starting point.

It depends on your dog's current oral health, breed, and temperament. Dogs with significant build-up may need more than one session to achieve a clean mouth, while others see fantastic results in a single visit. Smaller breeds tend to be more prone to tartar and may need more frequent attention.

Because the treatment is performed without anaesthesia, how much we are able to clean in a single session depends on how cooperative your dog is. A calm, settled dog allows us to be more thorough.

Just like us, good oral health is built through habit rather than occasional fixes. We brush our teeth daily for a reason. This is why we offer ongoing maintenance sessions that can be added to your dog's regular grooming routine, helping to keep their mouth clean and healthy over time and reducing the risk of more serious problems developing.

A vet dental clean typically involves anaesthesia and is carried out when dental disease has already progressed. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a non-anaesthetic treatment that removes plaque and tartar build-up, reduces gum inflammation, and helps maintain a healthy mouth over time. Think of it the way you think about brushing your own teeth. The more consistently you look after them, the lower the risk of needing serious intervention later.

We have built strong relationships with a number of local vet clinics and work alongside them closely. They refer clients to us when anaesthesia is not necessary, and we refer to them when we believe veterinary intervention is needed. We always encourage owners to keep their scheduled vet check-ups alongside regular cleaning sessions. The two work together, not instead of each other.
