Healthy teeth mean a healthier, happier pet. At our Charlotte animal hospital, we take pet dental care seriously because your cat or dog’s oral health affects so much more than their smile. From routine cleanings to advanced dental treatments, our veterinary team is here to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and thriving at every stage of life.
Thorough dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline to prevent periodontal problems.
High-quality imaging lets us detect hidden problems beneath the surface, such as tooth root infections or resorptive lesions in cats.
When a tooth is too damaged to save, we perform extractions with precision and pain management to restore comfort.
