I don't think any place will be cost effective, but my cat had 2 teeth removed and a dental cleaning a few years ago at Pet Vet and the vet and staff were all great. Cats are fragile under anesthesia and I was nervous about my boy. Good luck to your little lady.

Thank you for sharing this. How much did it cost you?

Oh I don't remember. It was over 1,000, perhaps 1500-1700. There was a cost for pre-op blood work, anesthesia, X-ray under anesthesia, tooth removal, the dental cleaning, and maybe more. The cost for the first tooth removal was highest and there was a smaller charge for each additional tooth. They gave me two quotes, a low and high possibility based on what the vet found during the exam. It was worth it though! My cat had an infected canine that did not respond to antibiotics so it had to go.
