Dental Care at Highland Park Animal Hospital

Dental disease, often signified by bad breath, red gums, plaque, and tartar, is a problem for most pets over three years of age. Additionally, dental disease has been linked to serious systemic health conditions including heart and kidney disease.

We offer advanced dental care for dogs and cats using state-of-the-art equipment and digital dental x-rays to make sure that your pet’s teeth are as healthy as possible.

Types of Dental Cleanings

Non-Anesthetic Dentals (NADs)

Non-anesthetic dentals (NADs) are offered at Highland Park Animal Hospital once per month and are performed by a trusted third-party service. They are available for patients who are good candidates for this procedure and are a great option for preventive maintenance.

Anesthetic Dentals

Anesthetic dentals are done with general anesthesia. This means that the pet is asleep and is intubated to protect their airway. This allows us to perform a thorough cleaning above and below the gumline, take dental X-rays, and address any extractions or other procedures needed.

Everything under one roof

Scheduling & What to Expect

Generally, dental appointments are recommended during an annual exam. If this is not the case, please schedule a consultation to discuss your pet’s dental health and what procedure is right for them.

After the dental cleaning, your pet stays for observation for several hours. Generally, we recommend pick up between 4pm and 6pm. Pets are often sleepy the evening after their procedure, which is normal.

In addition to dental cleanings and procedures, we offer and can recommend a wide range of approved dental products to help you keep up the fight against dental disease at home.
