We provide veterinary dental services to help keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and free from preventable dental disease. Addressing issues early can prevent pain and more serious problems down the road.
Your pet’s oral health is a key part of their overall well-being. It affects far more than how clean their teeth look.
Finding problems early: Many dental problems can develop quietly. Routine checkups and cleanings help us identify concerns before they become painful or more advanced.
Protecting overall health: Bacteria associated with untreated dental disease can spread throughout the body, potentially affecting organs like the heart, kidneys, and liver. Preventive dental care reduces this risk.
Supporting your pet’s daily comfort: A healthy mouth makes eating, playing, and interacting easier and more enjoyable for your pet without inflammation or oral discomfort.
Lowering the chance of costly emergencies: Consistent dental care may lower the chance of sudden, serious issues and supports simpler, more affordable treatment options.
Since your pet can’t tell you when their teeth hurt, it’s helpful to know what signs to look for. If you live anywhere in Calgary, especially nearby Kensington, Hillhurst, or surrounding NW and downtown areas and notice any of the following, it may be a good time to book a dental visit at Westmount Animal Clinic
Persistent bad breath: A sour or unusually strong smell may be a red flag for hidden infection, tooth decay, or gum disease.
Red, swollen gums or visible buildup: Swollen gums or a film along the gumline can signal early periodontal disease and should be checked by a vet.
Changes in chewing or eating habits: If your pet drops food, eats slower, or is chewing on only one side, it may be because their mouth is uncomfortable.
Pawing at the face or jaw: Pets often rub their face or paw at their jaw when something is bothering them. This could be a loose tooth, sore gums, or something stuck between teeth.
Every dental procedure at Westmount Animal Clinic is designed to catch issues early, reduce long-term risks, and give your pet a healthier, more comfortable life. Here’s what’s included with every dental exam and cleaning:

Posted on Robin HopkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having grown up with a vet for a father who had his own clinic, Westmount feels like that for me. Professionalism, care, and like family.Posted on Heather MacPhersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. very responsive when my dog was sick. Thorough in their examinationPosted on Deanna LouiseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Westmount Clinic actually chose me (because our previous vet retired and moved patients over to them) but I’m so glad they did! Especially our latest experience, where we ended up having to go to the emergency vet and Westmount did not charge us for their exam to help save some of the imminent cost. A small gesture that will go a very long way. We felt very taken care of and I feel I can trust their advice when they give it because they’ve shown me they will do what’s best for me and my dog even if they don’t benefit. They have always been lovely to book into, easy to work with (with a quirky, not-good-with-other-animals dog), and I always enjoy seeing the team. (Josh, you’re such a delight!) Thank you endlessly, Westmount, for the care you provide.Posted on Sam UkrainetzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff were very welcoming and the veterinarian was very open and honest with us!Posted on Aidan StephensonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best vet clinic this side of the Mississippi. A big shoutout to Dr. Fraser who performed the initial surgery and also to Dr. Pugh who helped my cat fluffy today in record time. Another thank you to the front desk with Bayli and Becka for their warm reception and sense of urgency. And finally I must mention that Sydney was super helpful with her post surgery breakdown.Posted on Peter JurisicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We’ve put together answers to the most common questions we get from pet owners. Our goal is to keep things clear and easy, so you always know what to expect.
Most dogs and cats benefit from a professional dental cleaning once a year. Some breeds and senior pets may need them more often. Your vet can recommend a schedule based on your pet’s age, breed, and dental history.
Common signs include bad breath, red or bleeding gums, yellow or brown buildup, or changes in chewing habits. If you live in NW Calgary or near Kensington and notice any of these changes, it is a good idea to book a dental exam.
Yes. Dental procedures are done under general anesthesia so your pet stays calm and pain free. At Westmount Animal Clinic here in the Kensington and Hillhurst area, every dental patient receives a full exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork for safety.
A full oral exam, dental x-rays, scaling, polishing, and any needed extractions. Dental x-rays let us find issues below the gumline that are especially common in adult dogs and cats across Calgary.
Your pet’s dental care cost depends on a few important factors such as their size, the condition of their teeth, and how long it has been since their last cleaning. Every dental treatment at our Kensington clinic includes full dental x-rays so we can identify issues below the gumline and build the right treatment plan.
Because dental needs vary from pet to pet, we do not offer a one size fits all price. Instead, we provide a no obligation consultation and a clear estimate after examining your pet in person so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. Many Calgary pets develop dental issues that cannot be seen above the gums. X-rays help us find early signs of infection, root problems, or bone loss so we can treat them before they cause pain.
We welcome both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior companions. Our team is experienced in providing personalized care that matches your pet’s stage of life and lifestyle.
Yes. Untreated dental disease can affect the heart, kidneys, and immune system. Regular cleanings help keep pets healthy throughout Calgary’s changing seasons.
If your pet has bad breath, buildup on the teeth, trouble chewing, or if it has been more than a year since their last dental visit, it is a good time to schedule an dental exam at our Calgary location. Early care helps prevent painful problems later on.
