Pet Dental Care
At Cobblestone Veterinary Care, we focus on good oral hygiene as a key foundation to a healthier pet. Our veterinary dentistry and oral surgery services provide comprehensive dental care for dogs and cats, from routine cleanings to advanced treatments for oral disease.
What Is Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery?
Veterinary dentistry includes the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral diseases that affect a pet’s teeth, gums, and jaw. Just like people, pets can suffer from periodontal disease, fractured teeth, or infections that may lead to pain and systemic illness if left untreated.
At Cobblestone Veterinary Care, our team provides complete dental services—including dog dental cleanings, digital dental X-rays, tooth extractions, and oral surgery when necessary. Each procedure is performed under anesthesia for your pet’s safety and comfort, allowing our veterinarians to clean below the gum line and address hidden issues that can’t be seen during an awake exam.
Comprehensive Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery
Professional Dental Cleanings
Every cleaning begins with a thorough oral exam and digital dental X-rays to uncover hidden problems below the gumline. Under safe anesthesia, we perform a complete cleaning and polishing to remove plaque and tartar buildup—even in those hard-to-reach areas.

Tooth Extractions and Oral Surgery
When necessary, our veterinarians perform precise, gentle extractions and oral surgeries to relieve pain and restore function. We use modern anesthesia monitoring and advanced pain control protocols to ensure your pet’s comfort before, during, and after the procedure.

What to Expect During a Pet Dental Visit
- Pre-anesthetic exam and lab work to ensure your pet’s safety
- General anesthesia with continuous monitoring for comfort and precision
- Full-mouth digital X-rays to detect disease below the surface

Our veterinarians use the same level of precision and care that you would expect from a human dental professional—because your pet’s oral health deserves nothing less. With gentle handling, advanced equipment, and a focus on comfort, our pet dental clinic helps pets enjoy fresher breath, healthier gums, and a better quality of life.
Pet Dental Care: Why Early Intervention Is Critical
Our team at Cobblestone takes pride in a forward-thinking approach to pet care. We don’t just treat disease—we work to prevent it. And we take particular pride in helping pets enjoy clean, healthy, and comfortable mouths by stopping dental problems before they become serious.
Dental disease is one of the most common health conditions in pets, affecting more than 70% of cats and 80% of dogs by age three. Without professional care, bacteria from the mouth can spread through the bloodstream, impacting the heart, liver, and kidneys.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are vital for:
Preventing periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Reducing pain and infection.
Improving breath and oral comfort.
Supporting whole-body wellness.

FAQs About Pet Dental Care
How often should my pet have a dental cleaning?
Most pets benefit from a professional dental cleaning once a year, but some may require more frequent care depending on breed, age, or dental history.
