Gentle Care, Advanced Technology, and a Pain-Free Experience
At Animal Medical Center, we believe that your pet’s dental procedure should be as safe, thorough, and comfortable as possible. Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in pets, but with the right approach, it’s also one of the most preventable and treatable. That’s why we take extra steps to ensure that each dental procedure is performed with the highest level of care, safety, and attention to detail.
The Power of Dental X-Rays
Much of dental disease hides below the gum line, where it isn’t visible during a standard oral exam. Our full-mouth digital dental X-rays allow us to detect and address:
Hidden infections or abscesses
Fractured or compromised teeth
Bone loss from periodontal disease
Impacted or retained baby teeth
These images provide a more complete picture of your pet’s dental health, ensuring that nothing is missed and that your pet receives the most effective treatment possible.
Anesthesia Safety You Can Trust
Because pets won’t sit still for a thorough dental cleaning, anesthesia is required for a proper assessment and treatment. We take anesthesia safety seriously and carefully tailor each plan to the individual pet, using:
Pre-anesthetic exams and bloodwork to assess health risks
Intravenous (IV) catheterization and warmed fluids to maintain blood pressure and hydration, protecting vital organs from harm
Continuous monitoring of heart rate, oxygen levels, and other vital signs throughout the procedure
Every patient is closely monitored by a trained veterinary professional, ensuring a smooth and well-managed anesthetic experience.
Pain Management for a Comfortable Recovery
Dental disease is painful, and proper pain control is essential for both comfort and healing. Before, during, and after a procedure, we use a combination of:
Pre-surgical pain medication to reduce discomfort before anesthesia
Local anesthetic nerve blocks for extractions, similar to those used in human dentistry
Post-operative pain relief and take-home medications to ensure continued comfort
By managing pain at every stage, we help pets wake up feeling comfortable and recover more easily at home.
A Thoughtful Approach to Healing & Recovery
Our team takes extra steps to ensure a smooth recovery and long-term dental health by using:
High-quality sterile suture materials to promote better healing when extractions are needed
Advanced cleaning techniques that reach above and below the gum line for a truly thorough clean
After the procedure, we provide detailed home care instructions and a follow-up consultation to help you keep your pet’s teeth in top shape.
A Commitment to Excellence in Veterinary Dentistry
Dental care is a crucial part of your pet’s overall health, and we approach it with the same level of care, precision, and compassion that we do with all aspects of veterinary medicine. Our focus is always on patient safety, comfort, and long-term well-being—ensuring that your pet’s dental procedure is a positive experience from start to finish.
