Dental Care

More Than Just Pearly Whites

Your pet’s dental health significantly influences their overall well-being. Oral diseases can cause severe pain and discomfort and can also spread harmful bacteria to vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. We conduct thorough oral exams and create personalized dental treatment plans for your pet. Our preventive dental treatments, which include teeth cleaning, scaling, polishing, and digital dental X-rays, help us identify periodontal disease, determine if a tooth extraction is necessary, or if minor oral surgery is needed. Additionally, we offer a variety of dental products such as specialized diets, dental chews, pet toothpaste, and toothbrushes to support your pet’s oral health.

What to Expect During Your Pet’s Dental Appointment

Before any dental procedure, our veterinarians perform pre-anesthetic lab work to detect any underlying conditions and ensure your pet’s safety. A thorough dental cleaning includes an oral exam, scaling, polishing, and essential dental X-rays. These X-rays are crucial as they reveal issues below the gum line that might otherwise go unnoticed.

The Importance of Sedation in Pet Dental Exams

Sedation is essential for thorough dental exams, enabling complete evaluations, X-rays, and necessary treatments. Anesthesia-free dentistry has significant risks and limitations since a comprehensive exam cannot be conducted on an awake pet, making it difficult to identify and address dental issues properly.
