Dental Care Services for Cats & Dogs
At our North Shore animal hospital, our dental services go far beyond basic cleanings. We’re proud to offer a full suite of veterinary dental care with a compassionate, skilled team and advanced tools that help us detect and treat problems early.
Our dental services include:
Comprehensive Oral Exams
Proactive care supports a long, healthy life with checkups, vaccinations, nutrition advice, and personalized care plans.
Full-Mouth Dental X-Rays
Because up to 60% of the tooth structure lies below the gumline, we use digital dental X-rays to evaluate tooth roots and bone structure, searching for hidden infections and damage.
Safe Anesthesia and Pain Control
Every procedure is performed under carefully monitored anesthesia, with individualized pain management before, during, and after treatment.
Professional Teeth Cleanings
Using a combination of hand and ultrasonic tools, we remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surface, above and below the gumline, to protect against gingivitis, infection, and tooth loss.
Tooth Extractions and Oral Surgery
When extractions are necessary, we ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. We also offer advanced services like oronasal fistula repair.

Set Your Pet Up for Success with At-Home Dental Care
A good dental routine doesn’t start—and shouldn’t stop—at the vet clinic. Daily at-home care helps extend the time between professional teeth cleanings and keeps your pet feeling their best.
Here are simple ways to support your pet’s dental health from home:
-
Brush their teeth regularly
Use a pet-friendly toothbrush and fluoride-free toothpaste. Daily brushing is ideal, but even a few times a week makes a difference.
-
Incorporate vet-approved dental chews
Chewing can help reduce tartar buildup, but be sure to choose safe treats that are proven to slow plaque and tartar accumulation.
-
Try oral rinses or water additives
We can recommend trusted products that freshen breath and reduce bacteria in the mouth without any extra effort from you.
-
Don’t skip their annual exam
Regular wellness visits help us monitor oral health over time and catch issues before they become painful or costly.
Healthy Smiles Start Here
Your pet’s comfort, health, and happiness are worth protecting, and we’re here to help you do just that. Dental care is one of the most important (and most overlooked) ways to improve your pet’s quality of life. Let’s change that together.
If you spot unsightly buildup on your pet’s teeth, or notice foul breath, inflamed gums, or changes in eating behavior, give us a call to set up an appointment.
