Dentistry
It is our goal to advise you how to best care for your pet's teeth and oral health!
Dental Disease or "Periodontal disease" continues to be one of the most frequently diagnosed conditions in companion animals. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 80 percent of canines and 70 percent of felines will exhibit some stage of periodontal disease by two years of age! So what is Periodontal Disease? Simply put, it is the "progressive inflammation and destruction of the tissues that support the teeth".
At VHA, we believe we can greatly improve our pets' quality of life through routine dental cleanings and appropriate extractions as needed. There is significant evidence to show that the effects of periodontal disease can range from tooth and bone loss to potentially serious systemic effects that can progress to internal organ damage or failure if not treated appropriately.
VHA offers complete dentistry services: including routine cleanings, digital dental radiography for those "below the surface" issues, complicated surgical extractions, and various oral soft tissue surgical procedures. Since dental cleanings require full anesthesia, you can expect to leave your pet with us for most of the day. Most routine "Dentals" are able to be discharged from the hospital by the end of the day.
Dental cleanings are performed Monday-Friday year-round and we offer FREE dental estimate examinations. (Exams are NOT discounted if a patient is here for any other service.) For clients that schedule a dental cleaning at that time, we will also extend a 10% discount off the estimate. We also offer a 10% discount on dental procedures and products for Dental Health Month which extends from January to March!
As always, please call us at (803) 613-9123 with any questions or concerns!
