Advanced Dentistry 

Dental disease is the most common condition we see in pets—and it often starts below the gum line where it can’t be seen. Left untreated, it can cause chronic pain, bad breath, red and inflamed gums, difficulty eating, and even impact your pet’s heart, kidneys, and liver.

Digital dental radiography allows us to detect hidden issues like root abscesses, fractures, and bone loss. With this technology, we can create a precise oral treatment plan tailored to your pet’s needs and comfort.

Pet Dental Care Services

Your pet’s dental procedure begins with a full oral exam and customized treatment plan from the veterinarian. Our licensed veterinary technicians then perform a thorough dental cleaning using ultrasonic scaling and polishing, charting the teeth and taking digital x-rays of problem areas. The veterinarian reviews the x-rays and performs any necessary surgical extractions.

Advanced Dental Procedures

We offer several advanced oral surgeries for cases of severe dental disease, oral tumors, and chronic inflammation:

Full-mouth extractions for feline chronic gingivostomatitis

For cats suffering from severe inflammation of the mouth, full-mouth extractions can dramatically reduce pain and improve quality of life.

Partial mandibulectomy/maxillectomy procedures

These surgeries remove diseased or damaged parts of the jaw or upper mouth while preserving function. We perform specific techniques such as symphyseal sparing rostral mandibulectomy and rostral maxillectomy for targeted care.

Severe periodontal disease and tooth resorption cases

In advanced dental disease or when tooth structure is dissolving, surgical intervention may be the best option to relieve pain and prevent further damage.
