Veterinary Dentistry for Dogs & Cats

At East Side Animal Hospital, we provide safe, thorough, and compassionate dental care using modern dental equipment, anesthesia monitoring, and dental radiography when recommended.

Our Pet Dental Services

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Ultrasonic scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.

Digital Dental X-Rays

Dental radiographs help identify hidden tooth root disease, bone loss, fractures, and cat tooth resorption.

Tooth Extractions

Painful, infected, loose, or fractured teeth may need extraction to restore comfort and prevent infection.

Periodontal Disease Treatment

We diagnose and treat gum disease to help protect your pet’s oral and overall health.

Why Dental X-Rays Matter

Many dental problems occur below the gumline where they cannot be seen during a visual exam. Dental X-rays allow our veterinary team to detect hidden disease and create the safest treatment plan for your pet.

Safe Anesthesia & Monitoring

Dental procedures are performed under anesthesia for safety, comfort, and proper cleaning below the gumline. We recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork and monitor your pet closely during the procedure.
