Why Dental X-Rays Are Essential for Cats
Over 70% of cats have dental disease by age 3 — and most owners never know. ARCH Veterinary in San Jose provides comprehensive feline dental care with full-mouth X-rays, safe anesthesia, and skilled extractions — open 8 AM – 10 PM daily. Cats hide oral pain better than almost any species we treat. The owners we see usually didn't notice anything was wrong — until a dental cleaning revealed two or three resorptive lesions hiding below the gumline. Those FORLs are essentially cavities the cat can't show you. Every dental we do includes full-mouth radiographs, because cleaning the visible crown without imaging the roots misses the diseases that actually cause pain. Pricing is transparent before the day of surgery — no surprises, no upsells in the recovery call.
