Small animal dentistry is a crucial aspect of overall pet health. At Willowcreek Animal Hospital, we offer comprehensive dental services tailored to the unique needs of small animals. From thorough examinations to extractions and oral surgery, we prioritize your pet’s comfort and well-being. We understand that dental health impacts more than just your pet’s mouth; it affects their entire body. Our approach emphasizes preventative care, including educating pet owners on proper home dental hygiene. We believe in partnering with you to ensure your animal companion enjoys a lifetime of healthy smiles.
What To Expect
What goes into a healthy pet smile? It starts with a meticulous cleaning and polishing, where we gently remove plaque and tartar buildup. Next, our expert veterinarians conduct detailed oral examinations, using their keen eyes to spot any potential problems. Our advanced technology allows us to see what's happening beneath the surface. If necessary, we provide expert extractions and oral surgery, always prioritizing your pet's comfort. We utilize safe, tailored anesthesia and continuous monitoring to ensure their well-being throughout the procedure. And to ensure a smooth recovery, we provide meticulous pre-operative and post-operative care.
Home Dental Care
We partner with you because we believe that home dental care is essential for maintaining your pet's oral health between professional cleanings. Tooth brushing is a crucial part of this routine, and we’re happy to demonstrate proper techniques and provide guidance to help you get started.
Extra Precautions for Senior Pets
Recognizing the unique needs of older pets, we take extra precautions to ensure their safety and comfort during dental procedures. For pets over six years old, we recommend pre-operative EKGs to assess heart health.
And More
Pets are masters at hiding dental pain, making it hard to know when they're suffering. If you've noticed changes in their eating, bad breath, or anything concerning, we're here to help. Don't hesitate to reach out if you think your pet needs a dental check-up.
