Our Veterinary Dental Care Services

Taking care of your pet’s oral health involves brushing your pet’s teeth daily and giving them a pet-friendly diet for strong and healthy gums and teeth. However, despite your diligent care at home, you need the help of a veterinarian to take care of your pet’s dental health.

We offer pet-friendly dental cleaning services to eliminate stubborn plaque and tartar in hard-to-reach surfaces of your pet’s mouth. We use gentle and safe techniques for the comfort of your pet. We also scrutinize their mouth during pet dental examinations to look out for signs of cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease and recommend corrective treatment to put your pet’s oral health back on track.
