Pet Dental Care
Oral health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being, and Boysen Animal Hospital proudly provides complete dental care — from professional cleanings to advanced treatments — to prevent pain, infection, and disease.
What Is Veterinary Dental Care?
Veterinary dentistry and oral surgery focus on keeping your pet’s teeth, gums, and mouth healthy through professional cleaning, preventive care, and corrective treatment when needed. Many pets show signs of dental disease by age three, which can lead to pain, tooth loss, and infections that can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated.
At Boysen Animal Hospital, we combine gentle handling with modern technology to provide safe, effective dental care for dogs and cats. Our animal dental clinic offers comprehensive oral health services, from dog dental cleaning to extractions and surgical care, all performed under anesthesia for thorough results and patient safety.
What to Expect During a Pet Dental Appointment
Our dental care process is designed to ensure your pet’s comfort while achieving the highest standard of care. A typical visit may include:
- Oral Examination: Assessment of teeth, gums, and jaw alignment
- Dental X-Rays: Full-mouth imaging to detect hidden decay, fractures, or bone loss
- Professional Cleaning: Scaling and polishing above and below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar
- Extractions or Oral Surgery: Performed only when necessary to treat advanced disease or discomfort
- At-Home Dental Guidance: Recommendations for brushing, diet, and products that support oral health
Each procedure is performed under close anesthesia monitoring for your pet’s safety and comfort.
Why Dental Care Matters
Dental disease can cause chronic pain, bad breath, and even systemic illness if bacteria enter the bloodstream. Regular professional cleanings help protect both your pet’s oral and overall health.
Routine dog dental cleaning and feline oral exams allow us to catch early signs of periodontal disease, cavities, or infection. By investing in professional dental care, you’re giving your pet a longer, more comfortable life — free from preventable pain and disease.
Benefits of Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery

- Better Health: Prevents oral bacteria from affecting other organs.
- Fresher Breath and Cleaner Teeth: Improves hygiene and quality of life.
- Tailored Care: Every cleaning and treatment is customized for your pet’s needs.
