Services
Dental Cleanings
Our comprehensive dental cleanings include full-mouth scaling, polishing, and fluoride application under gas anesthesia. This procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup to prevent periodontal disease. We use strict anesthetic monitoring with IV fluids to ensure patient safety while providing pre-op bloodwork options.
Tooth Extractions
We perform surgical extractions for damaged or diseased teeth using specialized techniques including dental drills and sutures. Our process includes pre-extraction radiographs to assess tooth root health and develop customized treatment plans while prioritizing pain management before, during, and after procedures.
Dental X-Rays
Full-mouth dental radiography helps detect hidden pathology below the gum line. This essential diagnostic tool enables early identification of tooth root abscesses, bone loss, and developmental abnormalities that visual exams alone cannot reveal, ensuring comprehensive treatment planning.
Oral Exams
Our comprehensive oral evaluations include periodontal probing, dental charting, and anesthetic monitoring. We assess gum health, tooth mobility, and oral lesions while providing personalized recommendations for home care and preventive maintenance tailored to each pet's needs.
Pre-Anesthetic Testing
We offer pre-operative bloodwork panels assessing liver enzymes, kidney function, and blood cell counts to identify potential anesthetic risks. These tests help ensure patient safety through early detection of organ dysfunction that could complicate dental procedures under general anesthesia.

Questions
Why are annual dental cleanings important for pets?
Annual cleanings prevent periodontal disease that causes tooth loss and systemic infections. We follow AAHA guidelines recommending yearly cleanings starting at 1-2 years old.
Do you treat animals other than dogs and cats?
Our current services are limited to canines and felines due to specialized equipment and expertise required for these species' dental anatomy.
Why use anesthesia for dental procedures?
Anesthesia enables thorough cleaning below the gum line, dental radiography, and safe extractions. We use monitored gas anesthesia with IV fluids for patient safety.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept cash, checks, credit/debit cards, and CareCredit financing. Full payment is required at time of service to maintain affordable pricing.
How do you handle dental emergencies?
While we don't offer 24/7 emergency services, we prioritize urgent cases during business hours and coordinate with local emergency clinics for after-hours care.
Are pre-anesthetic bloodwork tests mandatory?
We strongly recommend bloodwork to detect hidden organ dysfunction, but it remains optional. Our team provides detailed explanations of risks versus benefits for each patient.
