Our Veterinary Dentistry Services
Dental health is directly connected to your pet’s overall well-being. That’s why we take a thorough, proactive approach to pet dental care, starting with routine check-ups and cleanings.
Our veterinary dentistry services include:
- Comprehensive oral exams under anesthesia
- Cat and dog teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing)
- Dental X-rays to evaluate below the gumline
- Tooth extractions and minor oral surgery
- Treatment for gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth root abscesses
- Home care guidance and preventive recommendations
All dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia with modern monitoring equipment to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the visit.
Understanding Pet Oral Surgery
In some cases, advanced dental disease, broken teeth, or oral infections require oral surgery. This may include tooth extractions, removal of oral masses, or treatment for jaw trauma or severe periodontal disease.
Our experienced veterinarians will carefully assess your pet’s condition and review all options with you before proceeding. We prioritize comfort, pain management, and follow-up care to help your pet recover quickly and return to normal activities with ease.
Why Dental Care Matters
Without routine dental care, bacteria and plaque can build up on your pet’s teeth, leading to inflammation, tooth loss, and painful infections. Worse, untreated dental disease can contribute to heart, liver, and kidney problems by allowing harmful bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
Key reasons to prioritize veterinary dentistry include:
- Preventing oral pain and infection
- Protecting vital organs from systemic disease
- Improving appetite, behavior, and quality of life
- Avoiding costly emergency procedures
According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, over 70% of cats and 80% of dogs have some form of dental disease by age three, making early and consistent care essential.
By scheduling regular cleanings and monitoring oral health, you can help your pet avoid unnecessary pain and enjoy life to the fullest.
