Why Dog Dental Care Matters

Oral health plays a critical role in your dog's overall well-being. Bacteria that build up in your dog's mouth don't stay there — they can travel through the bloodstream and contribute to heart, kidney, and liver disease. By age 3, most dogs show signs of periodontal disease, making regular dental care one of the most impactful things you can do for your dog's long-term health.

Our Dog Dental Services

Comprehensive Oral Exam & Diagnostics

Every dental visit begins with a thorough oral examination under anesthesia, evaluating each tooth, the gums, jaw, palate, and surrounding structures for signs of disease.

Tooth Charting & Periodontal Assessment

We document the health of every tooth and probe gum pocket depths to identify periodontal disease at its earliest and most treatable stages.

Professional Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing)

We remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline using ultrasonic scaling, followed by polishing to smooth enamel surfaces and reduce future buildup.

Extractions & Oral Surgery

When teeth are non-salvageable due to disease, fracture, or resorption, we perform gentle extractions and advanced oral surgical procedures with appropriate pain management and post-operative care.

Dental CT Scanning

Our 20-second dental CT scanner provides detailed 3D images of tooth roots, bone, and surrounding structures — far more information than standard dental X-rays and in a fraction of the time. This allows us to catch problems invisible to X-rays alone.

Aftercare Guidance

We send every client home with clear post-procedure instructions, pain management medication when needed, and a personalized home dental care plan including brushing techniques and dental diet recommendations.
