Animal Dental Center

Our comprehensive dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar to prevent periodontal disease. Using advanced techniques, we ensure thorough cleaning above and below the gumline under anesthesia for safety. This service includes oral examination and radiographs to identify hidden issues, promoting long-term oral health for dogs and cats.

We specialize in surgical removal of oral tumors in pets, combining precision and care to restore oral function. Our board-certified dentists use preoperative imaging to plan excisions and may employ reconstructive techniques. Postoperative care includes pain management and follow-up to monitor recovery, ensuring optimal outcomes for complex cases.

Root canal therapy saves damaged teeth in pets through minimally invasive procedures. We use specialized tools to clean infected pulp and seal the tooth, preventing extraction. This service preserves natural dentition, alleviating pain while maintaining chewing ability, ideal for fractured or abscessed teeth in dogs and cats.

Our advanced imaging services include digital radiography and CT scans for accurate diagnosis of oral conditions. These tools detect hidden fractures, resorptive lesions, and jaw abnormalities undetectable during physical exams. High-resolution images guide treatment planning, ensuring precise interventions for complex dental pathologies in pets.

We treat periodontal disease through scaling, root planing, and localized therapies to halt infection progression. Advanced cases may require surgical intervention to regenerate lost tissue. Our approach combines in-clinic care with home maintenance guidance, reducing systemic health risks associated with untreated gum disease in pets.

I had such an incredible experience at this dental center with my 6lb poodle. He needed multiple tooth extractions due to old jaw trauma, and I was nervous going in, but the entire team was amazing from start to finish. They were patient with every question I had, explained the plan clearly, and even sat me down afterward to walk through photos of the procedure so I understood exactly what they did.

They were also able to fit us in quickly, which I appreciated more than I can say.

Was it expensive? YES -- extremely!!!! But they did excellent work, treated my dog with real compassion, and called afterward to check on him. What really won me over was the level of care after surgery. They had a student hold my dog for three hours because he's a lap dog, not a crate dog and was crying post surgery.

We were referred to the Dental Center after Banfield Towson took x-rays of my 10-year-old dog's teeth for the first time in his life. We move a lot and always use Banfield. This was the first one to push for x-rays. Then, when they saw the extensive damage, I felt it was very professional of them to hand us off to experts. I honestly didn't even know animal dentists existed. In conversation with Dr. Hutt, I learned that there are fewer than 300 in the whole country.

I feel very fortunate to have such a commodity within my current community. We started with a different doctor who thoroughly explained everything, to include the breakdown in cost. But then my family got COVID. So, to reschedule the surgery as soon as possible, we had to switch doctors. But once again, Dr. Hutt was very thorough and answered all of my questions before the surgery. The whole team is great.

We were encouraged to call for updates during our little guy's surgery, which my husband did. The nurse brought him out to the car after the procedure and just bragged on how good he was. They've already emailed a couple of times with aftercare and records and called to check on him the day after the surgery. I will admit that there was some initial sticker shock. But I will say that Banfield would have charged about the same or more, and they aren't as qualified. Here, we were given a quote with a low to high end, so we knew what to expect.

He went in with the expectation of losing around 20 teeth. They ended up taking 25, and we paid about in the middle of the estimated range. Banfield charges by the tooth, so we would have spent way more or had to make some hard decisions. Here, they charge by supplies and time, regardless of how many teeth they take.

Overall, I'm so glad Banfield referred us here. Although no one ever wants to hear that their dog needs a $2,000-$4,000 surgery to extract 20 teeth, if I have to do it, I'd rather go with an expert. It's a decision I definitely don't regret.

We brought our old man to ADC in Columbia, MD for an evaluation, cleaning, and extraction. His regular vet did not feel comfortable performing the procedure and extraction due to his cardiac disease. Dr. Volker, clinical staff, and call center employees were all so friendly, caring, and patient with me. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our old man. He is doing great.
