Shelter Bay Animal Hospital

Our sister hospitals regularly utilize ultrasound technology, which we also leverage for advanced diagnostics. Ultrasounds help us assess internal structures beneath the surface to provide accurate diagnoses and treatment plans for your pet.

We perform full-mouth x-ray studies (upper and lower) on every patient during dental exams. This allows us to detect hidden issues beneath the gum line, such as infections or structural problems that aren’t visible during a standard oral exam.

When necessary, we perform tooth extractions with precision and care. Our team evaluates each tooth individually to determine if extraction is the best course of action for your pet’s health, often applying treatments like doxyrobe to support healing.

We handle complex oral surgeries, including root-planing and other procedures aimed at preserving teeth when possible. Our advanced dental care includes addressing infections, fractures, or severe periodontal disease that require surgical intervention.

Our thorough approach to dental care includes treating periodontal disease through probing, charting, and targeted therapies like root-planing. We focus on preventing bacteria from spreading to other organs, such as the heart or kidneys.

We educate pet owners on proper at-home dental care practices to maintain their pets’ oral health between professional cleanings. This includes guidance on brushing techniques and recognizing signs of dental issues early.
