Frequently Asked Questions
Does my pet need a referral to see your service?
Yes, please contact your veterinarian to contact us for referral of your pet.
What can I expect once I schedule?
We first will see you pet for a consult appointment to perform an exam and to discuss the anesthetized procedure and treatment plan. The procedure can be scheduled during your consult procedure for a later date.
Will my pet need to be anesthetized to have the teeth cleaned?
Yes, we anesthetize all patients for their dental procedure. During this time, we will perform a full oral cavity evaluation, probe each tooth inside and out, take full mouth x-rays, and scale/polish every tooth. Once we have the exam and x-rays done, we will be able to give you a detailed plan for their treatment.
Will my pet be able to eat and play with toys if they have teeth extracted?
Yes, after the initial healing period from the extractions, pets will be able to return to eating and playing with no ongoing restrictions.
Will my pet have to stay overnight?
At your initial consult, we will assess the expected procedure and any other health concerns that your pet may have. We recommend that patients undergoing more extensive procedures or those that would benefit from ongoing pain management and monitoring stay overnight. This will be discussed prior to your procedure.
