Healthy teeth and gums are essential for your pet’s well-being
Caring for your pet’s teeth is about much more than maintaining a bright smile. Good oral health plays an important role in your pet’s overall wellness. At Nova Animal Hospital, we provide comprehensive dental care in Ashburn, VA to help maintain healthy teeth and gums. Our services include preventative dental cleanings as well as advanced treatment options designed to protect your pet’s long-term health.
Professional Pet Dental Cleaning
Thorough cleanings and preventative oral care
At Nova Animal Hospital, our dental cleanings go beyond simply removing plaque from the surface of your pet’s teeth. The process often begins with digital dental X-rays to examine what’s happening below the gum line and detect issues that may not be visible during a routine exam.
We then perform a detailed cleaning both above and below the gums using advanced ultrasonic scaling equipment. The procedure is completed with polishing—and when appropriate, additional protective treatments—to help minimize future plaque buildup and support long-term dental health for your pet.
Detailed Oral Health Evaluations
A complete examination during every dental visit
Each dental appointment begins with a thorough evaluation of your pet’s mouth. Our veterinarians examine the teeth, gums, tongue, and surrounding tissues to identify any signs of dental disease or injury. This careful assessment helps detect concerns early and allows us to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your pet’s needs.
Guidance for At-Home Dental Care
Healthy daily habits make a lasting difference
Maintaining good oral hygiene between professional cleanings is essential for your pet’s dental health. Our team will demonstrate practical brushing techniques and recommend effective at-home care routines. We may also suggest dental diets, chews, or products designed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup between veterinary visits.
