Dental Care

Healthy Teeth, Happy Pets

Dental health is a critical part of your pet’s overall wellness. At Vineyard Veterinary Clinic, we provide comprehensive dental care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets to prevent pain, disease, and other health complications. Just like humans, pets benefit from regular cleanings and check-ups, which help maintain strong teeth, healthy gums, and a bright smile. Prioritizing dental care ensures your pet stays comfortable, eats well, and enjoys a higher quality of life.

Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings

During a dental exam, our veterinarians thoroughly evaluate your pet’s teeth, gums, and oral tissues. We identify early signs of tartar buildup, gingivitis, or more serious issues such as periodontal disease. Cleanings are performed under careful monitoring to ensure safety and minimize stress, and our team provides guidance on maintaining oral health at home. Regular exams allow us to catch problems early, reducing the risk of infections that can impact the heart, kidneys, and other organs.

Advanced Dental Procedures

For pets with more significant dental issues, we offer a full range of procedures including extractions, oral surgery, and treatment for fractured or damaged teeth. Our experienced team combines precision, care, and comfort-focused techniques to ensure each procedure is as safe and effective as possible. We also provide anesthesia protocols and monitoring tailored to your pet’s health and species, including exotic pets.

Supporting Overall Health

Good dental hygiene doesn’t just protect your pet’s mouth — it supports their whole body. Untreated dental disease can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and systemic infections. By maintaining regular dental care, you’re helping your pet avoid these complications while promoting long-term wellness. Our team works closely with you to develop a dental care plan suited to your pet’s age, lifestyle, and medical needs.
