Dental disease is one of the most common health issues we see in pets, and it often develops long before symptoms appear. Our team provides dental exams, professional cleanings, and home-care guidance to keep your pet comfortable and prevent painful infections. With two convenient Boynton Beach locations, keeping up with your pet’s dental care is simple.
We examine each tooth carefully and use digital dental X-rays to identify hidden disease below the gumline, where much of the tooth structure is located.
Ultrasonic scaling removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth enamel and slow future buildup. Sealants or fluoride may be applied when appropriate.
If a tooth is cracked, loose, or severely infected, extraction may be recommended to remove the source of pain. We provide tailored anesthesia monitoring and pain control to ensure a safe, comfortable recovery.
Most pets benefit from annual teeth cleanings, though some may need them more frequently depending on breed, age, or dental history.
