Dental Procedures

Dental Prophylaxis 

 Dental disease is the number one health issue affecting 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of three, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society.  Daily plaque accumulates on your pet's teeth and then mineralize into tartar, which can't be removed without a professional dental cleaning.  Yearly exams are necessary to assess your pet's teeth and determine if they are due for a dental prophylaxis. All pets undergoing anesthesia for a dental cleaning will first have pre-operative blood work to ensure that they are healthy.

During a dental prophylaxis, your pet will be put under general anesthesia so that we can safely examine their oral cavity and scale tartar off their teeth.  We take full mouth x-rays on all of our patients undergoing a dental procedure to find hidden disease under the gumline.  Lastly, the teeth are polished and a sealant is applied that prevents plaque build-up.
Early diagnosis and treatment are the best defense against serious dental disease.

Oral Surgery 

Some dental disease requires advanced extraction techniques.  Our doctors are skilled in performing complicated extractions and using techniques that can help save a tooth and prevent the need for extraction. 
90% of extractions require some level of oral surgery, and are not as simple as "pulling teeth".   
For 18 years we have used digital dental x-ray to prevent retained root fragments (the most common complication of dental extractions).
