Our comprehensive dental exams utilize advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to identify oral health issues in pets. Board-certified dentists perform thorough evaluations of teeth, gums, and jaw structures. This service helps detect early-stage problems like periodontal disease or oral tumors, enabling timely intervention and improved treatment outcomes for pets of all ages.

Teeth Cleanings

Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup through ultrasonic scaling and polishing. Our team uses anesthesia protocols tailored to each pet's health status for safe, stress-free procedures. This preventive care service helps maintain oral hygiene, prevents gum disease, and extends pets' dental health longevity when combined with home care routines.

Oral Surgery

Specialized oral surgery addresses complex conditions like jaw fractures, cleft palates, or oral tumors. Our board-certified surgeons employ microsurgical techniques and 3D imaging for precise interventions. This service includes post-operative care plans and pain management strategies to ensure optimal recovery for pets requiring advanced dental procedures.

We perform surgical extractions for damaged or diseased teeth using advanced imaging to plan complex cases. The procedure includes nerve blocks and multimodal pain management for patient comfort.

Other than the price, I had a good experience here. The vet/dentist/specialist really explained what was going on with my cats teeth and gums well and laid out several treatment options as well as results that have been seen in the past. My cat had stomatitis which I didn't know existed until my cat was having trouble eating solid food and had very red gums. It came on very quickly compared to what an initial vet visit said somewhere else.

And unfortunately most my cats teeth had to be removed. I can call her toofless or 3,000 dollar kitty now. Animal dentistry really should be cheaper. I believe a lot of local vets charge 1/3 to 1/2 the price but many don't have the tools to do the surgery at one time like the specialist. They did a great job though, the cat healed up great.

Thank you thank you thank you for my Handsome Jack's two successful fanganals. Beg Pardon for my medical jargoneasy: Oh, umm, Jack's overdue for his 6-month root review. BEFORE; See close-up photograph of 1 of Jack's fangs. AFTER: See? We haven't even left the vehicle yet. So, it's, yanno, RIGHT AFTER.

So, while pricey, the return is worth it tenfold. Dr. Crowder and team are a godsend. I brought my Pomeranian in to have her teeth cleaned as she has a collapsing trachea and larynx. They used an extra small endotracheal tube, and I knew they'd have the expertise to protect her airway. I also let them know about her existing sinus issues with sneezing, hard exhales to clear her sinuses and shaking of her head that even K State hadn't been able to figure out. Dr. Crowder went above and beyond, diagnosing an ear infection, cleaning up what she could and also letting us know about some other damage going on in my dog's sinuses.

If you have a beloved companion that needs a little extra care and you need some peace of mind, I highly recommend Companion Animal Dentistry. Finally, we are on the right path to diagnose and treat my dog's issues thanks to Dr. Crowder. She listened and delivered much more than just cleaning my dog's teeth.

Excellent care for my Maltipoo. He had an accident with another dog and ended up with a broken jaw. They were amazing and able to complete his surgery the same day. We're 2 weeks post surgery and he's doing great. He was back to acting like himself 2 days after surgery. Thank you for everything you did for Mumford.
