Our Comprehensive &
Pet Dental Cleaning Process
Our Dog Dental Cleaning Crozet service is a multi-step procedure focused on preventing further disease and detecting hidden issues.
Pre-Anesthetic Assessment & Safety
- Pre-Surgical Exam: A thorough physical and oral examination is performed.
- Pre-Anesthetic Blood Work: To confirm vital organ function and ensure your pet is a safe candidate for anesthesia.
- Intubation & IV Fluids: Placement of an endotracheal tube to secure the airway, and continuous IV fluids to maintain blood pressure and hydration.
- Continuous Monitoring: A dedicated veterinary technician monitors heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature throughout the entire procedure.
Full-Mouth Dental Imaging
- Dental Digital X-ray: We use Digital X-ray to image the roots and jawbone. 80% of dental disease lies below the gumline and can only be detected with X-rays.
- Charting: Every tooth is examined, measured, and charted for any signs of disease, resorption, or pocketing.
Cleaning & Polishing
- Scaling: Thorough removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline using ultrasonic scalers.
- Polishing: Teeth are polished to smooth the enamel, making it harder for plaque to stick in the future.
- Fluoride Treatment: Application of a fluoride foam or gel to strengthen enamel and decrease sensitivity.

- Nikki Duncan
My hedgehog was very sick and they were the only ones who would see him the next day. Dr. Raab and her assistant were so thorough and knowledgeable I felt very comfortable. They treated him so well and you could genuinely see their love for all animals. I can't thank them enough!
- KJ
Lovely clean pleasant facility, and everyone on the staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Raab is wonderful and was great with our skittish bunny! There are very few small animal vets in the area, so we were grateful to find Dr. Raab.
- Barbara Tomlin
Dr. Raab is the only vet who is able to handle my African Gray parrot without causing her stress. She is gentle, kind, and patient. Autumn had her nails and beak trimmed and is a happy bird! I always recommend Animal Wellness Center to anyone looking for a vet.
