Our approach
More than removing visible tartar.
A calm, friendly place to start: honest answers about your pet's teeth, patience at your pet's pace, and veterinary care in the loop.
Dental-health awareness
We help you notice what's happening in your pet's mouth and when it's time to see a veterinarian.
Gentle handling
Your pet sets the pace, with breaks whenever needed. If handling becomes stressful, we stop.
Honest about limits
We clean visible tooth surfaces up to and along the gumline, never underneath the gums, and we'll tell you what that can't do.
The same care everywhere
One organized, consistent setup and process at every clinic location.
Dental health
Because dental health is more than clean teeth.
Much of dental disease develops below the gumline, where it can't be seen. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right care.
- Up to the gumline
- What we clean: visible plaque and tartar on accessible tooth surfaces, including along the gumline.
- Below the gumline
- Cleaning there, dental X-rays, and treatment need veterinary dental care under anesthesia.
- At home
- Regular brushing with pet toothpaste is one of the best things you can do.
Awake maintenance doesn't prevent or treat gum disease and isn't a substitute for dental care under anesthesia.
Your visit
Calm, organized, and easy to follow.
Here's what we're planning for every clinic day.
-
1
A veterinarian's exam
A veterinarian examines your pet and decides whether dental maintenance is right today.
-
2
A gentle introduction
Time to settle in, so your pet can get comfortable at their own pace.
-
3
Cleaning and polishing
When authorized, visible tartar is removed and teeth are polished, followed by a blue-light visual check.

Is it right for your pet?
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Every pet is different. We'll help you understand the right next step.
How we'll help
- We listenTell us what you've noticed or what worries you.
- We consider your pet as an individualHealth history, temperament, and comfort all matter.
- We go gentlyLow-stress handling where it's appropriate. If your pet isn't comfortable, we stop.
- We explain what we seeThen a licensed veterinarian provides the required exam and approval before any cleaning.
When a cleaning may not be the right fit
Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. Some pets may not be suitable candidates due to medical or dental conditions, aggressive behavior, or difficulty tolerating handling. Every pet is evaluated before treatment, and alternative veterinary care may be recommended when appropriate.
Pets with any known heart murmur or other heart condition aren't eligible for our anesthesia-free cleaning.
Urgent? Significant pain, trouble eating, facial swelling, or serious bleeding: please contact your veterinarian promptly.

Request a clinic
Clinics coming to your neighborhood soon.
Tell us where you'd like a clinic day. Requests from across Colorado help us decide where to start.
We're establishing partnerships with veterinary hospitals across Colorado. Clinic locations will be posted once they're confirmed.
Request received. Thank you.
Every request helps us decide where to hold clinic days first. Dates will be posted on our Locations page.
Is this the same as a dental cleaning under anesthesia?
No. Under anesthesia, a veterinarian can clean below the gumline, take dental X-rays, and treat problems. We clean visible tooth surfaces up to and along the gumline, never underneath the gums. It's not a substitute for that care.
Can I come to you with questions about my pet's teeth?
Yes, please do. We're happy to talk through what you've noticed and help you understand when veterinary dental care is needed. We don't diagnose dental disease, and a visual look can't rule out problems beneath the gums.
Can pets with heart conditions be seen?
Not for our service. Pets with any known heart murmur, heart disease, abnormal rhythm, or other heart condition aren't eligible for our anesthesia-free cleaning. Your veterinarian can advise on dental care under anesthesia. If you're not sure about your pet's heart history, we'll need to clarify it before a cleaning can be booked.
How will you keep pets calm without sedation?
Patience, low-stress handling, and breaks whenever needed. If a pet isn't comfortable, we stop and talk with you about other options. Not every pet will be comfortable with a cleaning, and that's okay.
When can I book?
Booking opens once our first clinic locations and veterinary arrangements are confirmed. Dates will be posted on our Locations page first. Until then, you can request a clinic near you.
For veterinary hospitals. We're establishing partnerships with Colorado hospitals to offer anesthesia-free dental maintenance as a complementary service, with Pet Dental of Colorado coordinating scheduling, client communication, and day-to-day operations.
