Pet Dentistry

Taking your pet to Skycrest Animal Hospital is just like going to the dentist! All dogs and cats receive full mouth dental radiographs as part of their dental procedure. These x-rays of the teeth detect changes that are not visible to the naked eye, just as your dentist will take x-rays of your mouth. The radiographs are even more important in pets because they cannot tell us they have a toothache! Our clinic has state of the art digital dental x-ray capabilities to ensure the most accurate picture of your pet’s mouth.

We then carefully clean each tooth -above and below the gumline, examine for any issues, do a full oral exam and polish the teeth!We will also monitor their anesthesia very closely to make sure that the dog or cat remains safe while undergoing their dental procedure. If treatment is needed based on the oral examination and x-ray findings, we give numbing and pain medications and treat any needed problems in the mouth.
