Veterinary Dentistry & Dental Surgery
Preventive and restorative dental healthcare and surgery help keep your cat or dog's teeth and gums healthy. Make sure your pet gets the oral healthcare they deserve at Colonial Park Animal Clinic.
Dental Care for Pets
For our pets, poor oral health can lead to more than painful teeth; it can also negatively impact their general health. This is why it's critical for cats and dogs to receive routine dental care as part of their healthcare regimen.
However, most pets don't receive the oral hygiene care they need to ensure their teeth and gums remain healthy.
At our Harrisburg veterinary clinic, we offer complete dental care for your pet, from basics including dental exams to teeth cleaning and polishing to dental surgeries.
We are also passionate about educating pet owners regarding home dental care for their pets.

Pet Teeth Cleaning & Exams
Like your yearly checkup at the dentist, your dog or cat should visit the veterinary dentist for a dental examination at least annually. Pets that are more susceptible to dental problems than others may need to see us more frequently.
Colonial Park Animal Clinic can assess, diagnose and treat oral health issues in cats and dogs.
FAQs About Pet Dental Care
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our clients have had about pet dental care.
Veterinary Dentistry: Anesthesia & Your Pet's Oral Health
Since dogs and cats do not understand what is happening during dental procedures, they will often react to them by biting or struggling.
Human dentists sometimes provide anesthesia to anxious or nervous patients. Likewise, our vets in Harrisburg provide anesthesia to all of our patients before they perform dental procedures. This puts less stress on the animals and allows us to X-ray their mouth as needed.
