With our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced veterinarians, we provide top-notch care to ensure well-maintained oral health. Our services include:
Dental disease is common in pets and can significantly impact their health if untreated. Early detection and treatment are important to manage conditions like periodontal disease, gingivitis, and tooth root abscesses. Periodontal disease, starting with gingivitis, can progress to tooth loss and systemic infections, while abscesses cause severe pain.
Regular dental check-ups help prevent these conditions from worsening, ensuring your pet’s comfort and overall well-being.
Restorative dentistry offers solutions for pets who have lost teeth due to injury or disease, helping them maintain function and comfort. Dental implants are surgically placed artificial roots that support replacement teeth, preserving jaw strength and facial structure.
Other restorative options include crowns for protecting damaged teeth, bridges for replacing missing teeth, and fillings for restoring teeth affected by cavities or minor damage, all of which contribute to your pet’s quality of life.
Preventive dentistry is essential for maintaining your pet’s dental health, focusing on preventing dental problems before they start. Regular veterinary check-ups and professional cleanings are key to catching and addressing early signs of dental issues. Prophylactic care, including scaling, polishing, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants, further protects your pet’s teeth.
Additionally, home care is vital—regular brushing, dental diets, treats, and chew toys all contribute to keeping your pet’s teeth clean and healthy.
