FAQs What to Expect

Our Dental Services

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal disease is incredibly common among pets, affecting approximately 80% of dogs and cats by the time they are 3 years old. Our hospital provides advanced treatment solutions tailored to your pet's specific needs. We are committed to ensuring that your pet receives the best possible dental care.

Palliative Dentistry Arrow right icon

Over the last several years, we have seen an increase in patient referrals for pets with serious medical conditions or even terminal illness. It is always a goal to achieve a clinical cure every time we operate on a patient.

Oral Surgery

There are many reasons that your pet might need oral surgery. A few common oral surgeries we perform include cleft palate surgery, soft tissue trauma repair, salivary surgery, and cheiloplasty, growth removals, and more. Rest assured that our veterinarians are equipped to handle a wide variety of oral surgeries.

Jaw Fracture Repair

Treating a fractured jaw requires precision and expertise, given the complexity of the injury. Key challenges include preserving the integrity of the remaining teeth, maintaining the jaw's function and the comfort of the bite (occlusion), and addressing other related trauma. Our veterinarians are equipped with specialized tools and a wealth of experience in repairing upper jaw (maxillary) and lower jaw (mandibular) fractures, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet.

Orthodontics

Pet orthodontics address malocclusions; teeth that are not properly aligned which can damage your pet's teeth and hurt their gums. Our vets assess any bite issues and suggest the best treatment, whether it's removing certain teeth, trimming down othersl or straightening them out. We're here to ensure your pet's mouth is as healthy as can be.

Endodontics

Veterinary endodontics refer to the treatment of damaged pulp in your pet's teeth. To prevent infection or cyst formation, these teeth require intervention—through extraction or root canal therapy. Root canal therapy involves cleaning, shaping, disinfecting, and filling the tooth's interior, followed by restoring the tooth with a composite. Our doctors are not only extensively trained but also equipped with specialized tools to conduct both conventional and surgical root canal treatments, along with vital pulp therapy.

Prosthodontics

Our Doctors may recommend a crown following root canal therapy to protect the tooth from further damage. The creation and application of a titanium crown requires two anesthetic events. These procedures are often indicated for working dogs and occasionally, a pet with a tendency to chew on inappropriate (hard) toys and items. Our Doctors are happy to discuss this option and help determine if a crown is necessary or recommended for your pet.

Oral Tumors / Oncologic Surgery Arrow right icon

Oral tumors constitute about 6% of the overall incidence of cancer in dogs and cats. The most important thing to know about oral tumors is that early detection is key to successful treatment. This is one of the reasons why regular oral examinations are extremely important. The incidence of oral cancer increases with age therefore routine oral exams are a necessary part of a complete physical exam as your dog or cat ages.

Dental Radiography

Dental radiography, or dental X-rays, play a crucial role in keeping your pet's smile bright and healthy. These X-rays give veterinarians a detailed view inside your pet's mouth, revealing everything from teeth and roots to the surrounding bone structure. What's really great is that they help us see beneath the gum line, catching any hidden issues that might not be visible during a regular check-up.

Pet Teeth Restorations

We offer specialized restorative dentistry care for cats and dogs. Whether it’s dental crowns to protect worn or fractured teeth or fillings for cavities, we’re equipped to handle your pet’s dental needs. With vast experience and training in both aesthetic and functional options, count on our team for future pet teeth restorations.

Cone Beam CT

The Xoran™ VetCat rotates around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. The data is used to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of the teeth and the entire maxillofacial region. This modality is able to detect lesions associated with the teeth earlier, and guides surgical planning for complicated oral procedures
