Welcome to Animal Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Our services are offered with one goal in mind: to optimize your pet's health and well being. By the time they are 3 years of age, it is estimated that 70% of all dogs and cats have some form of oral disease according to the American Veterinary Dental Society. This is in many respects a silent disease. Animals with oral disease may feel discomfort but continue to eat and interact. They learn to use their mouths in ways that minimize their discomfort. Relying on your veterinarian to recognize this disease and pursuing treatment can make a significant difference in your pet's oral comfort and enjoyment of life.
