Why Dental Care Matters Most pets develop some dental disease by age three, and the signs are easy to miss.

Common signs include:
  • Bad breath
  • Difficulty eating or chewing on one side
  • Dropping food
  • Pawing at the mouth
  • Hidden pain, which is very common in pets
Left untreated, dental disease can lead to:
  • Infection
  • Tooth loss
  • Chronic pain
  • Strain on other parts of your pet’s health

We provide:
  • COHAT: Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment under anesthesia
  • Dental radiographs when clinically indicated
  • Scaling and polishing
  • Simple and surgical extractions, including complex extractions
  • Pain management and medications
Whenever possible, we complete treatment in a single procedure, so your pet recovers once and you are not making repeat trips.

Our Dental Scope

We manage dental disease through professional cleaning, assessment, dental radiographs when indicated, and extractions, including complex extractions.

We do not perform advanced specialty dental procedures such as root canals or orthodontics. When specialty care is needed, we will guide you appropriately.

Affordable Dental Care, Explained

Good dental care should not be out of reach. Our pricing tends to be more accessible because we are an experienced, busy practice and we focus on the care your pet actually needs.

That is not a trade-off in quality. It is the result of doing this work often, doing it carefully, and being upfront with you about cost and options.

We aim to reduce surprises by discussing the plan and the cost ahead of time .

A light brown French Bulldog sits on green grass, looking slightly to the side with its mouth open and tongue showing, against a blurred outdoor background.

Anesthesia, Monitoring & Comfort

Dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia with patient monitoring throughout the procedure and recovery.

We offer pre-anesthetic blood work and comprehensive monitoring, including heart rate, respiratory rate, gum color and capillary refill, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and carbon dioxide monitoring when applicable.

We also use comprehensive, multimodal pain management during and after the procedure.

What to Expect on the Day

  • COHAT: Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment under anesthesia
  • Dental cleaning, polishing, radiographs when indicated, and necessary extractions
  • Monitoring throughout anesthesia and recovery
  • Clear discharge instructions for home

Our goal is safe, complete treatment and a smooth recovery.

Common Questions

Bad breath, difficulty eating, chewing on one side, dropping food, or pawing at the mouth can all be signs of dental disease. Many pets hide oral pain, so an exam is the best way to know where your pet stands.

Yes. Anesthesia allows us to assess the mouth properly, clean below the gumline, perform extractions when needed, and keep your pet still, safe, and comfortable.

Before the procedure, we discuss the treatment plan and consent. During the dental procedure, we remove teeth that are damaged, diseased, painful, or likely to cause ongoing pain, based on the oral assessment and medical judgment.

Yes. We aim to keep dental care accessible for Orillia families while maintaining careful, complete treatment. Our dental care is affordable because of experience, high dental and surgical volume, efficient workflow, and focusing on the care the pet actually needs. This is not because of reduced standards.

 Dental problems do not improve on their own. They tend to get worse, and more painful, over time. The sooner we look, the easier it usually is to treat.
