Dental disease is one of the most common — and most preventable — health problems in dogs and cats. We make professional dental care accessible for every pet in the Rogue Valley.
Dental disease doesn’t stop at the mouth. Bacteria from infected gums and teeth can enter the bloodstream and contribute to damage in the heart, kidneys, and liver over time. A healthy mouth is genuinely connected to your pet’s overall quality and length of life.
Most pets show few obvious signs of dental pain — they continue eating even when their mouth is severely diseased. Routine professional dental care is the only reliable way to catch and address problems before they become serious.

Safe, thorough dental care from initial exam through treatment — all under one roof.
Every dental procedure begins with a thorough oral examination — both awake and under anesthesia. We evaluate each tooth individually, assess gum health, check for pockets, fractures, and root exposure, and develop a complete picture of your pet's oral health before any treatment begins. You'll know exactly what we find and what we recommend before we proceed.
Because dental procedures require anesthesia, we run pre-anesthetic blood work to confirm your pet's organs are functioning well and anesthesia is safe. This critical safety step lets us tailor the anesthetic plan specifically to your pet — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
IV fluids are administered throughout every dental procedure to maintain blood pressure, support kidney function, and keep your pet stable under anesthesia. They also provide immediate IV access if medications are ever urgently needed during the procedure.
Up to 60% of each tooth lies hidden below the gumline. Dental X-rays reveal tooth root disease, bone loss, abscesses, and hidden fractures that are completely invisible on exam. We take full-mouth radiographs on every dental patient — because what you can't see can still cause serious pain.
Using professional ultrasonic scaling equipment, we remove tartar and plaque buildup from every tooth surface — including below the gumline where bacteria cause the most damage. We then polish each tooth to smooth the enamel and slow future plaque accumulation, leaving your pet's mouth genuinely clean.
When a tooth is too diseased, fractured, or infected to save, extraction is often the kindest option. We perform extractions carefully and skillfully, thoroughly cleaning and closing the site. Removing a painful tooth almost always results in a noticeably happier, more comfortable pet — often within just a day or two.
We take dental pain seriously at every stage. Local nerve blocks are used during extractions, injectable pain medications are given during recovery, and we send appropriate oral pain relief home with your pet. Our goal is a smooth, comfortable recovery so your pet bounces back quickly.
Here’s exactly what happens from drop-off to pick-up on dental day.
Professional cleanings work best when paired with good habits at home. Here are the most effective ways to support your pet’s oral health between visits.
Daily brushing with pet-safe toothpaste is the gold standard. Even a few times a week makes a meaningful difference in plaque control.
VOHC-approved dental chews help reduce plaque and tartar between cleanings. Ask us which products suit your pet's size and chewing style.
A simple, low-effort way to support oral hygiene daily — especially helpful for pets who won't tolerate brushing.
Every wellness visit includes an oral check. We'll let you know when a professional cleaning is recommended before problems progress.
Whether your pet is due for their first dental cleaning or you’ve noticed something concerning, we’re here to help. Give us a call to get scheduled.
