Maintaining the health of your pet's teeth and gums is extremely important to maintaining their overall health.  We have excellent dental equipment that allows us to fully evaluate and take care of any dental issues.  Our equipment is similar to what you might experience with a dental cleaning at your dentist.  Our routine dental includes charting, cleaning, and polishing.  We are also able to perform extractions of diseased teeth.​​​ 
What to Expect
Our dental cleaning is very similar to what you would experience at your own dentist.  We use dental probes and hand scalers to initially examine the mouth followed by a high speed electric scaler to remove all tartar present.  Your pet will be placed under general anesthesia for the dental procedure. Our dental cleanings are performed on Mondays and Thursdays. 

• Dental Cleaning:  

​We both hand scale and use an ultrasonic scaler to clean the surface of your pet's teeth and under the gum line.  This allows us to remove the tartar, plaque, and calculus deposits on the teeth.​

• Dental Polishing:  

​We have a high speed polisher and use a dental prophy paste to polish the teeth and help prevent tartar from accumulating so quickly in the future.  This part of the process also helps to give your cat or dog fresh breath.

• Extractions:  

​We have capabilities to do both simple or surgical extractions based on the needs of the animal and the disease process of the teeth.  Surgical extractions may involve creating a gingival flap, sectioning the tooth with a high speed drill, and using winged elevators to remove individual roots.
