Dental Care
Essential for your pet's overall well-being.
Dental disease is easy to miss. Pets are good at hiding discomfort, and plaque quietly turns into tartar and then gum disease long before anything is obvious at home.
Why Anesthesia Is the Gold Standard
A proper dental cleaning means getting below the gumline, taking X-rays, and probing every tooth — none of which is possible, or safe, on an awake pet. Anesthesia is what makes a thorough, pain-free cleaning possible.
The Dental Cleaning Process
- 1
Exam
We check every tooth and the gum line for signs of disease before we do anything else.
- 2
Ultrasonic Scaler
Removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, where the real damage happens.
- 3
Irrigate & Polish
Smooths the tooth surface so plaque has a harder time building back up.
- 4
Monitor
Vitals are tracked continuously under anesthesia, from start to recovery.
Dental X-Rays
Full-mouth digital X-rays are included with every dental cleaning here. They catch root infections, abscesses, and bone loss hiding beneath a tooth that looks fine on the surface, and they confirm that any extraction came out completely clean.
Ensuring Anesthesia Safety
Every dental patient gets a pre-anesthetic evaluation and an anesthesia plan tailored to their age, breed, and health history, monitored on in-house equipment for the entire procedure.
Non-Anesthetic Dentistry: What You Should Know
Do you offer non-anesthetic dentistry (NAD)?
No — we don't recommend it, in line with AAHA guidance.
Why not?
NAD can't clean below the gumline, which is where periodontal disease actually starts. It looks like a cleaning from the outside without addressing the problem underneath.
What's the risk?
Untreated periodontal disease, stress and injury to an awake pet being restrained, and missed diagnoses that a full exam under anesthesia would catch.
What should I do instead?
Schedule a real cleaning under anesthesia, with full-mouth X-rays, so we can see and treat what's actually happening.
