Dental Care
Healthy teeth, a healthier pet.
Comprehensive veterinary dentistry in La Jolla — dental exams, digital x-rays, professional cleanings and extractions to stop pain and disease before they take hold.
Our Dental Services
By the age of three, most dogs and cats already have some degree of dental disease — and much of it is invisible to the eye, hidden beneath the gums. Left untreated, it causes real pain and can affect the heart, liver and kidneys.
That’s why a proper dental isn’t just a polish. Ours include a full oral examination and dental x-rays under safe anesthesia, so we can find and treat the disease you can’t see — not just the tartar you can.
- Dental Exams
Our veterinarians will perform thorough dental examinations to assess your pet’s oral health and identify any dental issues.
- Professional Cleanings
We offer professional dental cleanings to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your pet’s teeth and gums. Our cleanings are performed under anesthesia to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.
- Dental X-Rays
We use dental X-rays to assess the health of your pet’s teeth below the gumline and detect any hidden problems such as tooth root abscesses or fractures.
- Extractions and Oral Surgery
If necessary, we can perform extractions or other oral surgeries to address dental problems and alleviate pain.
- Home Dental Care Education
We will provide guidance on at-home dental care techniques, such as tooth brushing and dental chews, to help maintain your pet’s oral health between professional cleanings.
