Generally, routine dentals are an outpatient procedure. Patients check-in between 7:30am and 8:00am for blood work and the procedure is performed in the late morning to early afternoon. Patients are ready to return home after 5:00pm the same evening. Pets receiving advanced dental procedures with x-rays and extractions are still dismissed the same day. However, due to safety concerns, if we feel numerous extractions are needed, more than one appointment may be required to complete the necessary procedures.
