Overview

Dental care that goes deeper.

By age three, most dogs and cats have some form of periodontal disease — and most of it lives under the gumline, invisible without proper care.

Our dental services include full cleanings under anesthesia, polishing, and extractions when needed. Every dental visit starts with a thorough exam and ends with home care guidance.

The promise: fresher breath, fewer surprises, and years added to your pet’s comfort.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to questions Bastrop County families ask most.

Still have questions?

Our team is happy to help by phone during business hours, or you can request an appointment online any time.

Bad breath, yellow or brown tartar, red or bleeding gums, drooling, or trouble eating are common signs — but much dental disease hides below the gumline, so a professional exam is the only way to know for sure.
Anesthesia lets us clean below the gumline and treat problem teeth safely and without stress. We run pre-anesthetic screening and monitor your pet closely throughout.
Most dogs and cats benefit from a professional cleaning once a year, though it varies by breed, age, and home care. We’ll recommend a schedule at your pet’s exam.
We don’t offer in-house dental X-rays. If your pet needs advanced imaging, we’ll recommend a trusted facility. A pre-dental exam is scheduled before every dental procedure.
Daily tooth brushing is the gold standard, along with VOHC-approved dental chews, diets, and water additives. We’ll show you what works for your pet.
