Caring for your pet’s teeth is about more than a bright smile
Oral health plays a vital role in your pet’s overall well-being. At Animal Place Veterinary Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care in Silver Spring to help maintain healthy teeth and gums while preventing more serious health concerns.
Our services include routine dental cleanings as well as advanced treatment options when needed. By combining preventive care with professional dental procedures, we help protect your pet’s long-term health and comfort.
Professional Dental Cleanings
Thorough cleanings and preventive dental care
Our professional dental cleanings at Animal Place Veterinary Hospital go far beyond removing visible plaque. We begin with digital dental X-rays to examine areas beneath the gumline and detect issues that may not be seen during a standard visual exam.
We then perform a comprehensive cleaning above and below the gums using ultrasonic scaling technology. The procedure is completed with polishing — and protective treatments when needed — to help minimize future buildup and promote strong, healthy teeth.
Dental Health Evaluation
Every dental visit starts with a thorough oral examination
During each dental appointment, we carefully examine your pet’s teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues for signs of infection, disease, or injury. This detailed assessment allows us to identify concerns early and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your pet’s specific needs.
At-Home Dental Care Guidance
Healthy habits between cleanings make a lasting impact
We provide practical guidance on brushing techniques and easy at-home routines that fit your lifestyle. Our team may also recommend dental diets, chews, and approved products that help reduce plaque and tartar buildup between professional cleanings, supporting long-term oral health.
