Digital dental X-rays allow us to evaluate the structures beneath the gumline, helping detect hidden infections, damaged roots, bone loss, and other conditions that can’t be seen during a visual exam.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline to help prevent periodontal disease and keep your pet’s mouth healthy.
When damaged or infected teeth are causing pain, we perform oral surgery and tooth extractions to restore comfort and improve your pet’s oral health.
Every pet is different, but many dogs and cats benefit from annual dental evaluations and cleanings. Some pets, especially smaller breeds or those prone to dental disease, may require more frequent care based on their individual needs.
A thorough dental cleaning involves cleaning below the gumline, taking dental X-rays, and performing a complete oral examination. Anesthesia allows us to do this safely, comfortably, and without causing stress or discomfort for your pet.
Absolutely. A large portion of each tooth is hidden beneath the gums, which means serious problems can exist even when the visible portion of the tooth appears normal. Dental radiographs help us detect issues early and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
Bad breath is often the first thing owners notice, but dental disease can also cause red gums, drooling, difficulty chewing, pawing at the mouth, loose teeth, or changes in eating habits. Some pets show very few outward signs despite significant disease.
Home dental care can make a meaningful difference, especially when combined with regular professional evaluations. Brushing your pet’s teeth, using veterinarian-recommended dental products, and scheduling routine dental visits all help support better oral health over time.
