Pet Dental Hygiene Services in Great Falls

Ensuring Your Pet’s Long-Term Health & Happiness

An important part of your pet’s overall health is their dental health. Great Falls Animal Hospital offers pet dental hygiene services. Oral health increases your pet’s well being, adds longevity to their life, and makes your pet more pleasant to be around. Periodontal disease is caused by the build-up of plaque and bacteria on your pet’s gums and teeth and can lead to a variety of issues, including bleeding, inflammation of the gums, and possibly tooth loss. With routine dental examinations, you can help your pet avoid these problems – saving them pain and discomfort in the future.

Our dental services include:

Animal dental care is a bit more involved than human dental care, so your pet may need anesthesia to avoid stress and discomfort and keep them still.

Don’t ignore your pet’s dental hygiene! Schedule your appointment today at (703) 759-2330.

Home Prevention Tips

Though we highly recommend that you bring your pets in for routine dental checkups, there are many preventative measures you can take at home to help avoid any problems.

Dr. Olan was great with Bailey. The entire staff is friendly, kind, and professional. They listen to concerns and address them thoroughly answering all questions. A wonderful experience for Bailey and me.
Today was my second visit here at the ER with my dog Scooby. First time was for him getting scratched by a raccoon late at night. Long wait time but that's expected with ER, staff was great and I was out fast once seen. This morning I had to take him in again, he got a large laceration on his inner thigh from a horseshoe pole that he ran over. I was seen immediately after they saw how bad it was. All staff was super friendly and caring, after going over prices and surgery they took him back right away. He was ready to be picked up within 4 hours. The total cost was even less than they estimated and they had payment options to help as it was understandably costly. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby!
All of the staff was great; the young lady who answered the call, the young woman who checked us in, the young man who triaged Squeaky, the Dr who saw her, the young man who took Squeaky away, the woman who checked us out and the woman who waited on us when we came back. They were all very kind, polite, courteous, caring and judgement free. A clear estimate was provided and everything was explained in detail in a way we understood. Definitely a place I would take my pet back to
Very pleasant staff who really care about your pet.
