Pet Dentistry in Park City, UT
Keeping your pet’s mouth healthy is an essential part of their overall wellness. At Pinebrook Animal Hospital in Park City, UT, we provide comprehensive pet dentistry services tailored to prevent disease, address existing issues, and maintain your pet’s quality of life. From routine pet teeth cleanings to advanced dental diagnostics, our team is here to support long-term oral health.
What to Expect During a Pet Dental Exam
Every dental procedure at Pinebrook Animal Hospital includes a full oral health assessment. Our veterinarians perform periodontal probing to identify problem areas and use digital dental x-rays to detect disease hidden beneath the gumline—where two-thirds of dental issues occur. Without dental radiographs, as many as 75% of significant problems may be missed. Digital dental x-rays help us assess:
- Tooth fractures or internal disease
- Periodontal disease and stomatitis
- Oral cysts, abscesses, and tumors
- Jaw structure, joints, and fractures
- Subgingival foreign objects
How to Tell If Your Pet Needs Dental Care
Pets often mask signs of discomfort, making it difficult to detect dental problems early without professional evaluation. Watch for these common symptoms that may indicate your pet needs to see a pet dentist:
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Difficulty chewing or dropping food
- Pawing at the mouth
- Loose or discolored teeth
- Excessive drooling or signs of oral pain
If you notice any of these symptoms, book a dental appointment.
What Makes Our Pet Dentistry Safe
To ensure the safest possible experience during pet teeth cleaning and treatment, we perform pre-anesthetic lab testing, run an EKG to screen for heart abnormalities, and place an IV catheter for fluids and emergency access. Pain management and antibiotics are provided when needed for a comfortable recovery.

- Early detection of oral disease
