dental procedures

Lincoln Heights Veterinary Clinic does offer dental procedures for pets. Dental health is an important aspect of ​overall wellness for animals, and regular dental cleanings and treatments can help prevent dental disease and other ​oral health issues.

During a dental procedure at Lincoln Heights Veterinary Clinic, our experienced veterinarians will perform a ​thorough examination of your pet's teeth and gums. This may include dental x-rays to evaluate the health of the ​teeth below the gumline. A dental cleaning will then be preformed by a technician, which involves scaling and ​polishing the teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup. In some cases, extractions of diseased or damaged teeth ​may be necessary to improve your pet's oral health and prevent further complications.

During the procedure, your pet will be placed under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort and safety. Our team ​will closely monitor your pet's vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure they are stable and well-supported.

After the dental procedure, your pet’s veterinarian will provide you with recommendations for at-home dental care to ​help maintain their oral health between cleanings. This may include brushing your pet's teeth, using dental chews or ​treats, and scheduling regular dental exams.

If you have concerns about your pet's dental health or would like to schedule a dental cleaning, contact Lincoln ​Heights Veterinary Clinic to make an appointment. Our team is here to help keep your pet's teeth and gums healthy ​and happy.
