Comprehensive Pet Dental Services
By age three, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease. Because oral health is a window into your pet’s overall well-being, we perform a thorough dental evaluation at every wellness exam. From professional cleanings to advanced oral surgery, our goal is to help your pet live a pain-free life. In fact, many owners report seeing a “whole new pet”—happier and more active—once dental discomfort is resolved.
What to Expect
If a dental procedure is recommended, your pet’s safety and comfort are our primary concerns. We follow a rigorous clinical protocol to ensure the best possible outcome:
- Pre-Surgical Screening: On the day of the procedure, your pet receives a full physical exam, an ECG to evaluate heart function, and comprehensive bloodwork to ensure they are prepared for anesthesia.
- Safety & Anesthesia: We tailor anesthesia to your pet’s specific age and health status. Most dental treatments are outpatient procedures, allowing your pet to return home the same day.
- Advanced Imaging: We use full-mouth digital dental radiographs to identify hidden issues beneath the gum line that a standard visual exam might miss.
- Professional Cleaning: A licensed veterinary technician performs a deep cleaning and polishing. If extractions are necessary, they are performed by your veterinarian.
- Specialist Access: For complex cases, we work closely with board-certified veterinary dentists to ensure your pet has access to the most advanced care available.
At-Home Care
When you pick up your pet, we will walk you through personalized recovery instructions. To maintain that healthy smile at home, we recommend:
- Routine Brushing: We can help you find the right finger brushes and flavored toothpastes to make brushing a positive routine for your pet.
- Dental Chews: If brushing isn’t an option every day, we can recommend approved dental chews that effectively reduce tartar buildup and freshen breath.
