Why Dental Health Matters

Did you know that by age 3, most dogs and cats show signs of dental disease? Left untreated, tartar buildup and gum disease can lead to:

Painful infections
Tooth loss
Bad breath
Bacteria spreading to vital organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys

Regular veterinary dental care is the best way to keep your pet healthy and pain-free.

Our Dental Services

Dental care is one of the most important—and most commonly overlooked—parts of your pet’s health. Many pets hide dental pain, and problems below the gumline can go unnoticed without proper care. Our team is here to make the process safe, gentle, and stress-free for both you and your pet.
We offer comprehensive dental services for cats and dogs, including:

Dental consultations with an experienced general practice veterinarian or a board-certified Veterinary Dentist

We are here to answer your questions and create a personalized dental care plan.

Comprehensive oral exams under anesthesia

This allows us to fully evaluate every tooth safely and without discomfort.

Professional anesthetic dental cleanings

This is to remove painful plaque and tartar above and below the gumline

Dental X-rays (radiographs)

This is to detect hidden infection, tooth root issues, or bone loss that can’t be seen during an awake exam.

Tooth extractions and advanced treatments

Extractions or further advanced treatments can be necessary to relieve pain and restore comfort.

Your pet’s safety is always our priority. We use modern anesthesia monitoring, pain control, and gentle techniques to keep your pet comfortable throughout the procedure.

Healthy teeth mean a healthier, happier pet—and peace of mind for you.

If you have concerns or questions about dental care, our team is always happy to talk you through every step.
