Our Dental Services
Routine Dental Exams: Regular check-ups are vital for maintaining your pet’s oral health.
Our exams include plaque and tartar removal, dental X-rays, and more.
Teeth Cleaning: Professional cleaning is performed under anesthesia to thoroughly clean above and below the gumline, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to dental disease.
Dental Surgery: For pets needing more advanced treatment, we offer dental surgeries including tooth extractions and oral mass removals.
Preventive Care: We also provide recommendations for at-home dental care routines that can help prevent dental disease.
Why Dental Health Matters
Dental health is a critical component of your pet’s overall health. Dental issues can lead to, or signal, other health problems. Regular dental care prevents:
- Tooth decay and loss
- Gum disease
- Organ damage from the spread of dental bacteria
