Healthy Smiles, Healthier Lives
Gentle, Preventative Dentistry for Dogs and Cats
Dental care is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most important ways to protect your pet’s health. Left untreated, tartar buildup and gum disease can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, and even heart or kidney problems. That’s why our team takes a proactive approach to veterinary dentistry, offering thorough oral exams, professional cleanings, and safe, effective extractions when needed—all in a calm, compassionate environment.
Whether your pet is coming in for a routine pet teeth cleaning or needs help managing a painful dental condition, we’re here with personalized care, state-of-the-art technology, and a whole lot of heart.
Complete Dental Care, Made Comfortable
What to Expect
from Your Pet’s Dental Visit
Comprehensive Dental Exams
Our dental appointments begin with a thorough evaluation of your pet’s mouth, checking for signs of plaque, tartar, gingivitis, broken teeth, or infection. Because pets often hide discomfort, these exams are essential for spotting issues early—before they cause pain or complications.
Professional Cleanings with Anesthesia
We perform all cleanings under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort. Our team removes tartar both above and below the gumline, polishes the teeth, and captures dental X-rays as needed to assess underlying bone health.
Why anesthesia?
It allows for a stress-free procedure, protects your pet’s airway, and enables our team to perform a thorough, pain-free cleaning—especially when working below the gums.
Extractions When Necessary
If a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, our veterinarian may recommend an extraction. This prevents further pain or complications. We use local and general anesthesia, so your pet remains comfortable throughout the procedure and recovers quickly.
Keep the Clean Going at Home
At-Home Pet Dental Care
In between professional cleanings, we encourage regular tooth brushing with a pet-safe toothbrush and toothpaste. Our team is happy to recommend products and techniques that support your pet’s oral health at home. While dry food and dental chews can help, they’re not a replacement for professional care.
