What to Expect During Your Pet’s Dental Procedure

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs and cats. Our veterinary dentistry services focus on thorough assessment, safe personalized anesthesia, and complete treatment to address problems above and below the gumline.

Dog & Cat Dental Procedure

Each dog and cat dental procedure includes scaling, polishing, and a detailed oral examination to identify plaque, tartar buildup, gum disease, or damaged teeth.

Dental X-Rays & Oral Surgery

We use dental radiographs (X-rays) to evaluate tooth roots and underlying bone. When necessary, our veterinarians perform extractions or other oral surgery to relieve pain and prevent infection.
