Comprehensive Dental Care for Pets

A healthy mouth is essential to your pet’s overall health, comfort, and happiness. Dental disease is the most common medical condition in both dogs and cats. Left untreated, bacteria from dental infections can enter the bloodstream and affect the heart, liver, and kidneys, leading to serious health issues beyond the mouth.

That’s why regular professional dental cleanings are so important. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline—areas that brushing alone can’t reach—helping to prevent pain, infection, and tooth loss. Routine dental care not only keeps your pet’s breath fresh but also protects their long-term health and quality of life.

Pets rely on their teeth and mouths for much more than eating. They use them for grooming, playing, communicating, and exploring the world. Maintaining oral health means protecting your pet’s ability to live comfortably and joyfully every day.

  • Impacted or unerupted teeth

We use diagnostic imaging, advanced treatment techniques, and personalized preventive care to keep your pet’s smile healthy. Procedures may include oral surgery, tooth extractions, periodontal therapy, and oral biopsies.

Our goal is simple: to relieve pain, restore function, and help your pet live their best life—one healthy smile at a time.

Authorization For Dentistry

Pets must be current on vaccinations and tested according to hospital policy.

Factors that limit our availabilty to detect every dental problem your pet may have prior to anesthesia include:

1. Lack of patient cooperation that impairs proper visualization, especially of back teeth.

2. Periodontal problems that can be detected only by probing under the gum with an instrument.

3. Dental plaque (tartar) that can hide underlying cavities or fractures.

Please be aware that all surgical procedures require an ECG and bloodwork to ensure the well being of your pet.

We authorize such procedures to be performed and agree to pay for services rendered. The nature of the procedures has been described to my satisfaction and I realize that no guarantee or warranty can be ethicallyor professionally made regarding the results or cure. I understand that I assume financial responsiblity for all services rendered and that payment is due at the time the animal is released.

For the comfort of your pet, post operative pain treatment will be administered if extractions are performed. For dogs and cats, this may include an injection and oral medication. The cost for pain treatment is $42.
