Cat Dental Extractions & Cleaning Cost

Introduction

Dental disease is incredibly common in cats, particularly Feline Oral Resorptive Lesions (FORLs), where the body starts reabsorbing the tooth. These are extremely painful and require surgical extraction under general anesthesia.

Symptoms of Dental Pain

• Drooling or dropping food while eating.
• Foul breath.
• Pawing at the mouth.
• Visible red, inflamed gums.
• Eating only on one side of the mouth.

Dental Costs

• Routine Cleaning (under anesthesia): $400 – $800.
• Full Mouth X-Rays: $150 – $300.
• Extractions: $50 – $200 per tooth. A full-mouth extraction can cost $2,500 – $4,000.
