Healthy Teeth, Better Health, Longer Life

Dental care is about far more than fresh breath. Regular professional dental care helps prevent pain, infection, tooth loss, and disease that can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys. At South Park Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care designed to keep your pet comfortable and healthy for years to come.

Why Pet Dental Care Matters

Dental disease is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats, and many pets show few signs until disease is advanced.

Routine dental care can help:

Prevent plaque and tartar buildup
Reduce gum infection and inflammation
Prevent tooth loss
Improve comfort and ability to eat
Reduce bacteria that may impact internal organs
Support overall health and longevity

Early treatment offers the best outcomes and a better quality of life.

Why Choose SPAH for Your Pet’s Dental Care

Comprehensive Pre-Anesthetic Evaluation

A full health review, bloodwork, and pre-anesthesia screening help ensure your pet is ready for the procedure.

Thorough Cleaning Above & Below the Gumline

With your pet safely under anesthesia, we clean areas not possible during awake cleanings, including beneath the gumline where disease commonly develops.

Advanced Dental Technology

Digital dental x-rays and modern equipment help identify hidden issues such as fractures, tooth resorption, bone loss, and diseased abscessed roots.

Expert Recovery & Aftercare

Your pet receives close monitoring during recovery, pain management, and clear home-care instructions for a smooth return home.

What to Expect

Consultation

Dental care begins with a pre-operative consultation. We visually assess oral health, review overall health, discuss anesthesia readiness, and provide an estimate.

Dental Exam & Professional Cleaning

A complete dental exam includes comprehensive oral evaluation, periodontal probing, charting and full-mouth dental x-rays. Professional scaling and polishing remove plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot . This is typically followed with application of products like Oravet and Sanos to retard plaque accumulation on the teeth.

Dental Surgery (If Needed)

If disease is found, treatment may include:

  • Bonding and sealants
  • Treatment for periodontal disease involving root planing, local antibiotic application and bone grafting.
  • Tooth extractions
  • Retained baby tooth removal
  • Oral mass biopsy or removal

Anesthetic Dentistry Is the Gold Standard

Professional veterinary dental care under anesthesia allows for a complete cleaning, thorough exam, dental x-rays, and safe treatment below the gumline—where most disease occurs.

This is the standard of care for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
