Dental
We perform dental surgeries for dogs and cats across all stages of dental disease — most of the cases we see tend to be stage II–IV, but we're here for your pet wherever they are.
We have very limited slots for dental procedures. If you suspect that your pet needs a dental procedure, please reach out to schedule an appointment.
ALL dental procedures require a consultation with our veterinarian before you can proceed to booking the procedure, even if your pet has been assessed elsewhere. Contact us for an estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Every pet is different — pricing depends on your dog or cat’s specific care needs. Email us at info@vetsinvans.org, and we’ll give you an estimate.

Healthy teeth do more than make your pet's smile look good. Dental disease is one of the most common — and most preventable — health problems we see in dogs and cats. Left untreated, it causes real pain and can affect the heart, liver, and kidneys as bacteria from the mouth spreads through the bloodstream.
Why it Matters:
Avoids pain and discomfort: Dental disease can make eating uncomfortable.
Prevents tooth loss: Keeping the gums and surrounding bone healthy helps your pet hold onto their teeth as they age.
Protects major organs: Oral bacteria can travel through the bloodstream and cause serious damage over time.
-
Good dental care happens at home. Simple habits can make a real difference in your pet's long-term health:
Brush your pet's teeth regularly with a soft brush and pet-safe toothpaste.
Offer dental chews or toys designed to reduce plaque buildup.
Watch for signs like bad breath, drooling, or changes in eating habits.

Anesthesia keeps your pet still and comfortable during the procedure — which is essential for a thorough, safe exam and treatment. Even a small amount of movement can make it impossible to clean below the gumline or extract a tooth safely. It also means your pet isn't experiencing any pain or anxiety while we work. We take every precaution to make anesthesia as safe as possible, and we're happy to answer any questions you have before your pet's procedure.
