Advanced Pet Dental Procedures in Winston-Salem, NC

Did you know that by age three, most pets show signs of dental disease? At Abri Veterinary Hospital, serving Winston-Salem, NC, we stress the importance of excellent oral hygiene for your pet’s overall health. We offer comprehensive pet dental procedures to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of oral health issues.

Periodontal disease is more than just bad breath; bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and affect major organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. Our experienced team utilizes state-of-the-art veterinary dentistry practices to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free.

Our Full Range of Veterinary Dentistry Services

To ensure a thorough and safe experience, all our pet dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia, allowing for detailed examination and subgingival (below the gumline) cleaning.

  • Professional Pet Teeth Cleaning: This involves scaling and polishing the teeth above and below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar.
  • Pet Dental X-Rays: Necessary for evaluating the tooth roots and jaw structure, as 60% of dental disease lies beneath the gumline. We use high-quality imaging to guide treatment.
  • Pet Oral Surgery: For advanced cases requiring tooth extractions or other oral surgeries due to severe infection, fractures, or tumors.
  • Oral Health Assessment: A detailed examination of the gums, tongue, and entire oral cavity for masses or lesions.

The Critical Importance of Pet Teeth Cleaning

Routine pet teeth cleaning is a vital part of preventative care. While home brushing helps, only a professional procedure can address tartar buildup below the gumline.

  • Prevents Organ Damage: Eliminates bacteria that can spread systemically, reducing the risk of heart and kidney disease.
  • Alleviates Pain: Treats painful conditions like fractured teeth, gum recession, and abscesses.
  • Improves Quality of Life: A clean mouth means your pet can eat comfortably and enjoy a better overall quality of life.

Our team has the expertise to perform complex pet dental procedures safely, with dedicated monitoring throughout the process. Trust Abri Veterinary Hospital in Winston-Salem, NC, for expert veterinary dentistry.
