most vets now use isoflureen (spelling?) on small dogs, for 99% of the dogs it is safe and they wake up fairly quickly. I have had dentals done yearly on 4 different yorkies and never had a problem, the odds are very good that your pup will do fine and come out with white teeth, most likely missing a few and good breath. If teeth are pulled you will probably be given some antibiotics and pain meds. whenever possible I try to make sure that my pup is done early in the day, they usually come home the same day so to me the earlier they are done the more time they have to fully wake up and so forth before I pick them up. Also you want to have a conversation about drop off time vs surgery time. When I was new to yorkie parenthood I dropped my pup off at about 7:30 am only to find that they still had not gotten to him at 2 PM so make sure you find out about that in advance, I hated the thought that my dog was left in a cage with no food and water all the hours.
