Keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy plays a big role in their overall well-being. Our team is here to make dental care comfortable, safe, and stress-free for both you and your pet. We offer complete veterinary dental services, from routine cleanings to more advanced treatments when needed!
What is included with a dental procedure?
Since pets can’t brush daily, tartar and plaque can build up quickly. Our dental Exam/Procedures include a full, thorough evaluation of your pet’s mouth, including:
Full-mouth dental radiographs
Scaling and polishing above and below the gumline
Probing and periodontal charting/mapping
A complete oral health assessment
Treatment for periodontal disease when appropriate
Extractions When Needed
Our goal is always to keep your pet’s natural teeth healthy for as long as possible. When a tooth is too damaged or causing pain, removal may be the best option to protect their comfort and prevent further problems. Early detection gives us more options.
Anesthesia & Dentistry? Your pet’s safety is our top priority. All dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia so we can clean and evaluate the mouth thoroughly and gently. Before anesthesia, we run full bloodwork and complete a physical exam to make sure your pet is a good candidate. We also offer a pre-anesthetic ECG (electrocardiogram) to check your pet’s heart rhythm and identify any underlying cardiac concerns. This simple, non-invasive test helps us ensure your pet can safely undergo anesthesia and allows us to tailor their anesthetic plan to their individual needs. Your pet’s safety is always our top priority, and an ECG is an important part of providing the highest level of care.
During the procedure, your pet is closely monitored by our Registered Veterinary Technicians. Our technicians are monitoring oxygen levels, CO₂, blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. We also use local anesthetics to reduce discomfort and help ensure a smooth recovery.
When to Schedule a Dental Visit? If your pet is experiencing bad breath, sensitivity around the mouth, excessive drooling, difficulty chewing or dropping food, bleeding or inflamed (red) gums, weight loss, decreased appetite, tartar/plaque at the gumline, loose, broke, or missing teeth.
Annual Exam and Dental Checkups -- A yearly physical exam is one of the best ways to keep your pet’s overall health healthy and catch small issues before they become bigger concerns.
