Pet Dentistry
Small Animal Dentistry, Pet Dentist Services
Dog and cat dental disease can be the root cause of mouth pain, loss of teeth, as well as heart, liver, and kidney disease. Our pet dental treatments are designed specifically with your particular dog or cat in mind depending upon their current overall health and pet dentistry needs. Many factors including breed and diet can affect your pet’s dental health. Some factors leading to dental disease are out of your control, but you can improve your pet’s health with routine veterinary visits and home care.
All pets benefit from a professional teeth cleaning. Even pets with white teeth have plaque build-up which can affect the health of the gums. Our small animal dentistry services should be a priority for your pet as many cats and dogs need to have their teeth cleaned annually to maintain health and fitness.
Dental cleanings are scheduled like a surgery appointment with our experienced staff. Your pet will be with us the entire day in safe care.
Our complete dog and cat dental cleaning services include:
- A full dental / oral exam, charting and digital dental x-rays prior to the procedure
- Your pet being fully anesthetized during the dental procedure
- A pre-anesthetic exam performed on each patient
- Screening bloodwork is often recommended
- Continuous monitoring by a dedicated anesthetist during the procedure
- Ultrasonic and hand scaling, polishing, and fluoride treatment if indicated
Through advanced training and specialized equipment for small animal dentistry, we are able to offer complete dental care for your pet. In cases of moderate to severe pet dental disease tooth extractions may be performed. Our Evergreen CO Veterinarians offer referral for advanced dental procedures including root canals, crowns, fillings, complicated fracture repair and extractions, etc.
