Curious about what our doctor will look at during this assessment? We've got you covered!

The initial consultation takes about 15 minutes. During this time, Dr. Bolotov will take a look at your pet's teeth as well as listen to their heart and lungs.

If your pet has a heart murmur, this does not disqualify them from the procedure. Based on your pet's needs, the grade of the murmur, and your pet's bloodwork, we tailor an individual anesthetic plan and take steps to ensure your pet's procedure is as safe as possible!

At ADCC, we take a number of steps to ensure the safety of your pet during their procedure.

Every pet, regardless of age, is required to have bloodwork done prior to their dental procedure. This is to ensure their internal organs are healthy enough to handle the anesthesia as well as pain medication that may be required to keep them comfortable afterwards. If the values on bloodwork come back abnormal, this does not disqualify your pet from an anesthetic dental cleaning, but does allow us to tailor their anesthetic protocol to best fit their individual needs.

An IV catheter is placed in every patient to administer anesthetic drugs, IV fluids, and to provide safe, immediate intravenous access for emergency drugs in the event that they become necessary.

Full mouth dental radiographs (x-rays) are performed during every dental procedure included as part of the dental package. This allows us to check for disease beneath the gum-line that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Your pet's teeth will be thoroughly scaled to remove tartar and build-up, just like when we go to the dentist!

Every patient will have an individual solely dedicated to monitoring and keeping them safe during their procedure. Their vitals are monitored and recorded continuously during the procedure to allow adjustments to be made as needed.

When the dental procedure is completed, our patients will also have a dedicated individual with them during recovery. This is to ensure that they wake up from their procedure safely and smoothly.

Dental radiographs (x-rays) are a vital diagnostic tool for addressing periodontal disease in your pet's mouth. They allow a look beneath the gum line to address issues invisible to the naked eye, such as tooth root abscess, broken teeth, pulp inflammation, and boney problems around the teeth. Dental radiographs also allow us to safely remove damaged or disease teeth while ensuring nothing is left behind.

The thought of their pet having teeth extracted can be scary for many pet owners. We often face a variety of questions, and with an experienced support staff and a doctor with extensive dental and surgical experience, we're equip to answer your questions and handle extensive dental extractions and treatments.

Lumps and bumps can be concerning, especially when found in the mouth. Our doctor has completed extensive continuing education in oral mass treatment and removal.

Our clinic is also equipped with a sterile surgery suite. If you’re pet needs a mass removed from an area of the body other than the mouth, we may also be able to provide this service as well. However, this is location and patient dependent.

Any mass has the potential to be cancerous, so we send every mass to an outside lab for histopathology by a Pathologist once removed in order to get a complete and accurate diagnosis. Results are typically received back by our clinic within 2 to 3 business days.
