Dental Care
A healthy mouth means a healthier pet. At Vetopia Animal Hospital, we place a strong emphasis on veterinary dentistry, because oral health plays a critical role in your pet’s overall well-being.
Why Dental Health Matters
Many dental problems go unnoticed until they become painful or advanced. That’s why we offer comprehensive dental care from routine cleanings to advanced oral surgery to keep your pet comfortable, healthy, and thriving.
Just like people, pets can suffer from:
- Tartar and plaque buildup
- Gingivitis and periodontal disease
- Broken, loose, or infected teeth
- Oral tumors or cysts
- Tooth root abscesses
Without treatment, dental disease can lead to chronic pain, tooth loss, and even impact the heart, liver, and kidneys through bacteria entering the bloodstream.

We provide a full range of dental care for dogs and cats, including:
- Comprehensive oral exams
- Professional dental cleanings under anesthesia
- Digital dental X-rays to assess root health and underlying issues
- Extractions of damaged or diseased teeth
- Oral surgery for advanced cases or masses
- Home care guidance to maintain dental health between visits
