The reason we offer dental care at such a low cost is because we see so many animals go without dental care simply due to cost. The goal is to provide routine preventative dental cleanings. Proper dental care can improve a pet’s quality of life and help prevent more serious diseases. Many animals live with oral pain but will keep eating and acting normally. We are excited to be able to offer affordable dental cleanings to help people take better care of their pet’s mouth. They will feel better, food will taste better, and they can kiss you with fresh breath!

Please note that we do not provide dental radiographs, we would be happy look at radiographs from another veterinarian if you have them. Therefore, we may not be able to remove all teeth that SHOULD be removed. We extract teeth that are loose and visibly diseased.

We will no longer be offering dentals on cats. In general dental radiographs for cats are a key tool. They help spot issues hidden under the gums, like bone loss or infections. Radiographs help clinicians treat problems that we generally cannot see just by looking. We do not have a radiograph machine. We recommend contacting a full-service veterinary clinic or an oral surgeon for concerns you may have with your cats teeth.

Three Simple Steps to Dental Care

Pet owners can brush up on their four-legged friends oral care by following three simple guidelines outlined by the American Veterinary Dental Society: Take your pet to get a dental exam. Your pet should have a routine veterinarian examination, including a careful examination of his teeth and gums, at least once a year. Schedule dental cleanings. Take your pet for regular dental checkups. Start an at-home regimen. Ask our veterinarian to suggest nutritional supplements and a regular teeth brushing schedule or a specially formulated food proven to help remove plaque and tarter from your pet’s teeth.
