Our veterinarians will normally discuss your pet’s dental health as required. If your veterinarian recommends a dental cleaning for your pet, the first step is completing pre-anesthetic diagnostics. We require blood work and an ECG for all dental patients to ensure they are healthy and safe to undergo general anesthesia.

Our team will then schedule an appointment for your pet’s dental cleaning. You will also be informed regarding keeping your dog off-food the night before the procedure.

We provide complete dental scaling, polishing, fluoride treatment, and dental x-rays.

Sometimes dental extractions may be required to prevent further complications of dental disease. Extractions are required more commonly in older patients, but it is also related to the general oral health regardless of the age. 

Commonly an extraction will be accompanied by short-term pain management and antibiotics for the comfort and health of your dog during recovery. Typically, dental procedures are treated as “day procedures” and your loved one is at home by evening, the same day. Recovery is typically one to two weeks.
