Pet Dental Care in Leavenworth, KS
Your pet’s oral health plays a vital role in their overall well-being. At Pioneer Animal Hospital, we provide thorough pet dental care in Leavenworth, KS to help prevent pain, disease, and long-term complications. From routine cleanings to advanced periodontal therapy, our dental services are tailored to keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy through every stage of life.
We now have a dental x-ray unit, allowing us to evaluate tooth roots, bone health, and areas below the gumline that cannot be seen during a visual exam.
Why Pet Dental Care Matters
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues seen in cats and dogs. Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, infection, or damage to the heart, liver, and kidneys. Regular checkups and cleanings can significantly reduce these risks and support your pet’s overall health.
We focus on identifying problems early, before they become more serious. Whether your pet is showing signs of discomfort or simply due for a routine cleaning, our team is here to help.
Comprehensive Dental Cleanings
During each dental visit, we perform a complete oral examination and professional cleaning under anesthesia. This allows us to reach areas that can’t be cleaned effectively at home. Each cleaning includes:
- Full-mouth examination and charting
- Scaling to remove plaque and tartar
- Polishing to smooth the tooth surface
- Dental x-rays when indicated to evaluate tooth roots and jaw health
- Monitoring by trained veterinary staff throughout the procedure
Our priority is to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety throughout the entire process. After the cleaning, we’ll provide at-home care recommendations to help you maintain your pet’s dental health between visits. Book your pet’s dental appointment today!
Periodontal Therapy for Advanced Care
If signs of gum disease are present, we may recommend periodontal therapy. This involves deeper cleaning beneath the gumline to remove infection and prevent tooth loss. Therapy may include:
Support for At-Home Dental Care
