Our Dental Services

We offer a full spectrum of veterinary dentistry, from preventive care to more advanced procedures, guided by your pet’s individual needs:

  • Complete oral exams to assess teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues
  • Professional dental cleaning under anesthesia including scaling above and below the gumline and polishing
  • Digital dental X-rays (radiology) for full-mouth imaging and hidden disease detection
  • Oral surgery including extractions and treatment of fractured or infected teeth, periodontal therapy, and mass removal when indicated
  • Home-care coaching like toothbrushing techniques and other practical tools to help you maintain good dental health

Our approach emphasizes comfort and safety, using low-stress handling and a calming environment from intake to recovery.

Why Dental Care Matters at Every Age

Oral disease doesn’t wait until later in life. Plaque, tartar, and gingival inflammation can lead to periodontal disease, tooth pain, infection, and changes in eating or behavior. Regular assessments and appropriate dental procedures help protect overall health, reduce discomfort, and support a better quality of life for both dogs and cats.

Signs Your Pet May Need Dental Care

  • Bad breath or drooling
  • Red or bleeding gums
  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
  • Pawing at the mouth, dropping food, or chewing on one side
  • Loose, broken, or missing teeth
  • Facial swelling or oral discomfort

If you notice any of the above or if it’s simply time for a dental check-up, we can help assess what’s appropriate for your pet.

Digital Imaging for Confident Decisions

Dental problems often start below the gumline. Digital radiographs allow us to visualize roots, bone, and tooth structure that can’t be seen on a surface exam alone. Imaging helps confirm diagnoses, prioritize treatments, and avoid unnecessary procedures, so dental care options are precise and transparent.

Collaborative, Transparent Dentistry

You know your pet best. We share findings in plain language, outline options with expected outcomes and costs, and respect your goals. Questions and second opinions are welcome. There’s no pressure. You decide how to proceed, and we support that decision with clear guidance and attentive follow-through.

Modern Love Veterinary provides comprehensive dentistry that’s tailored to your pet’s needs. With low-stress handling, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making, our goal is straightforward: comfortable mouths, healthier animals, and confident clients.
