"We had to take our senior bulldog mix here for an emergency visit per recommendation from our vet. They were so kind and fit us in quickly. We ended up having to have a couple of teeth pulled on our girl and they addressed other dental issues that has made her so much happier. Would highly recommended Dr. Block and Jolene at the desk was super. Will be taking our other dog here to have his teeth maintained so we don't end up in an emergency situation again!"

Healthy teeth and gums do so much more than help your pet chew their favorite treat; they play an important role in your four-legged friend’s overall health and well-being. When plaque and bacteria build up beneath the gumline, they can trigger a painful, progressive condition called periodontal disease, one of the most common and serious dental problems affecting dogs and cats. Left untreated, it can cause tooth loss and even impact the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Fortunately, our Board Certified Veterinary Dentists® provide advanced diagnostic and treatment options for pets of every age, health status, and anesthetic risk. Whether your pet has been diagnosed with periodontal disease, or if you’d like to make sure they don’t, our team can help keep their smile bright, shining, and healthy.
Restore your pet’s smile to a comfortable, disease-free one with expert periodontal care. Call us today to schedule a consultation.
Advanced Periodontal Treatments for Pets
When routine cleaning isn’t enough, our veterinarians offer advanced therapies to stop periodontal disease in its tracks and restore your pet’s oral health.
Root Planing & Gingival Flap Surgery
For pets with moderate to severe periodontal disease, treatment may include root planing or gingival flap surgery.
Root Planing: Smooths and cleans tooth root surfaces to remove bacteria and help reattach the gums.
Gingival Flap Surgery: In advanced cases, the gum tissue is lifted to clean deep pockets of infection before being repositioned to heal properly.
Both procedures require advanced skill and are best performed by a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist®. Our specialists have completed extensive training in periodontics and oral surgery to ensure precise, expert care.
Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to save, extraction may be the kindest and most effective solution. Removing diseased teeth relieves pain, eliminates infection, and allows the surrounding tissues to heal.
Many pets thrive after extractions, often with more energy, better appetites, and brighter spirits once their chronic pain is gone. If you’re worried about your pet’s quality of life after surgery, our team can connect you with other pet parents who’ve experienced the same journey and seen their companions flourish.
Protect Your Pet’s Smile and Health
Periodontal disease is common, but it doesn’t have to be a lifelong problem. With the right combination of professional treatment, preventive care, and at-home maintenance, your pet can enjoy a comfortable, healthy mouth for years to come.
If your pet has bad breath, loose teeth, or signs of oral discomfort, call us today for a consultation.
