Healthy teeth support your pet’s overall well-being

Good oral health is an important part of your pet’s long-term wellness. At Heritage Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care to help maintain healthy teeth and gums while supporting your pet’s overall health. Our dental services combine routine cleanings with advanced treatment options to address dental disease and promote lasting comfort.

Professional Dental Cleaning

Thorough care for healthier teeth and gums

Our dental cleanings go beyond basic plaque removal. We start with digital dental X-rays to assess what’s happening below the gumline and detect issues that may not be visible during a routine exam.

From there, we perform a detailed cleaning above and below the gums using ultrasonic scaling. The process is completed with polishing and, when appropriate, added protective treatments to help slow future buildup and support long-term oral health.

Advanced Dental Care Options

Comprehensive solutions for complex oral health needs

Beyond routine cleanings, we provide advanced care for more involved dental conditions. Our team is experienced in treating periodontal disease, performing necessary extractions, and addressing a wide range of oral health concerns. When appropriate, we may recommend specialized procedures such as root canal therapy to preserve damaged teeth and support long-term comfort.

Comprehensive Dental Evaluation

Each dental visit starts with a thorough oral exam

We carefully examine your pet’s teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues to look for signs of dental disease or injury. This detailed assessment allows us to identify concerns early and develop a treatment plan tailored to your pet’s individual needs.

At-Home Dental Care Guidance

Daily habits between visits play an important role

Our team will demonstrate effective brushing techniques and share simple at-home routines you can follow with confidence. We can also recommend dental diets, chews, and products designed to support oral health and help reduce plaque and tartar buildup between professional cleanings.
