Comprehensive Pet Dental Care

Our veterinary dentistry services are designed to address every aspect of your pet’s oral health — from routine dog and cat dental cleanings to complex extractions. Dental disease is common, especially in pets over three years of age, and can lead to serious systemic illness if left untreated. That’s why we offer full-service dental care using advanced diagnostics and treatment techniques, all tailored to your pet’s species and condition.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

While bad breath is one of the most obvious signs of dental disease, it’s far from the only one. Watch for these symptoms:

Unusual drooling or lip smacking
Dropping food or chewing on one side
Reduced appetite or changes in eating habits
Blood in the saliva
Sensitivity when the mouth is touched
Behavioral changes or withdrawal

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, schedule a dental exam with our team. We can assess your pet’s oral health and recommend the next steps.

What to Expect During a Dog or Cat Teeth Cleaning

Professional dental cleanings at our animal hospital in Wimberley, TX, are performed under general anesthesia for a safe, thorough experience. Here’s what the process includes:

Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork

We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork to check your pet’s liver and kidney function and ensure safe anesthesia.

Full-Mouth Oral Exam

While your pet is asleep, our veterinarians carefully examine the teeth, gums, and oral cavity for signs of infection, loose or broken teeth, and gum disease.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Most oral issues hide below the gumline. Our digital dental X-rays allow us to detect problems like bone loss, abscesses, tooth resorption, and more.

Teeth Scaling & Polishing

Using specialized veterinary dental equipment, we remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, then polish the teeth to smooth the enamel and reduce future buildup.

Tooth Extractions (If Needed)

If any teeth are beyond saving, we’ll perform gentle extractions and provide advanced pain control to ensure a smooth recovery. We’ll always contact you during the procedure if extractions are needed.

At-Home Dental Care Guidance

Routine professional cleanings are important — but so is daily care at home. Our team can recommend:

Toothbrushes and pet-safe toothpaste

Dental chews or oral rinses

Prescription tartar-control diets

Tips for making brushing easier

Preventing plaque and tartar buildup at home is one of the best ways to support your pet’s long-term oral and systemic health.
