Comprehensive Pet Dental Services

We provide various dental services at Solvang Animal Hospital and Wellness Center, from routine cleanings to extractions. Our dedicated team is experienced in handling all aspects of pet dental care in Solvang, CA, and takes a compassionate approach to each procedure.

Extractions

When a tooth is damaged or infected, extraction can be the best way to prevent pain and avoid further complications. Sometimes, a tooth must be removed if it’s too damaged to be saved or if an infection has affected the surrounding tissue. Removing these teeth can relieve discomfort and protect your pet’s oral health. Our veterinarians are skilled in performing safe and effective extractions to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and pain-free.

Preventative and Maintenance Care

Prevention is a crucial part of our dental care approach. Our team will work with you to develop a maintenance plan tailored to your pet, which may include regular cleanings, at-home brushing recommendations, and dietary advice to support oral health. We believe that combining professional cleanings with at-home care can make a significant difference in preventing dental issues. Our preventive approach is designed to minimize the need for extensive dental procedures in the future.

Cleanings

Regular cleanings are essential to prevent plaque buildup and dental disease. Our team uses professional cleaning techniques to remove plaque and tartar that can’t be managed by brushing alone. Performed under safe anesthesia, cleanings enable a thorough examination and treatment without causing your pet any discomfort. These cleanings play a vital role in reducing the risk of gum disease, a common issue in pets that can significantly affect their quality of life. For your convenience, dental cleanings are available on the first Monday of each month.

Growth Removal

Occasionally, pets may develop growths or lumps in their mouths, which require evaluation and, in some cases, removal. Our team is skilled in performing growth removal procedures to address any potentially harmful masses. These growths may be benign or cancerous, so removing and testing them is essential for ensuring your pet’s health. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort during this process and provide guidance on recovery and post-procedure care.
