Veterinary Dentistry in McKinney, TX
At Pet Method Animal Hospital, we take pet dental health seriously. Our veterinary dentistry services in McKinney, TX, include comprehensive dog and cat dental cleanings, full mouth dental X-rays, periodontal therapy, and oral surgery. Whether you’re searching for routine pet dental care or advanced veterinary dental surgery, our experienced team is here to help your pet live pain-free with a healthy, clean mouth.
Complete Dental Exams and Cleanings
During every dental appointment, Dr. Hunter Finn performs a full oral exam, evaluating your pet’s teeth, gums, and jaw. We take full mouth dental X-rays to detect problems hidden below the gumline—like root abscesses, bone loss, or tooth resorption. A professional pet dental cleaning is then performed under anesthesia to remove plaque and tartar buildup both above and below the gumline.
Cleanings include scaling, polishing, fluoride treatment, and dental sealants to help prevent future decay. Our team ensures your dog or cat is closely monitored during anesthesia, and we’ll provide detailed home care instructions after the procedure.
We also offer monthly dental promotions to make regular cleanings more affordable—ask our team about current specials!
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the most common—and most overlooked—conditions in pets. It begins with gingivitis and, if untreated, can progress to painful inflammation, gum recession, bone loss, and even systemic illness. At Pet Method, we treat periodontal disease through deep cleanings, tooth scaling, root planing, and, when needed, surgical intervention.
By diagnosing and treating gum disease early, we can help preserve your pet’s teeth and reduce the risk of complications affecting the heart, kidneys, or liver.
Pet Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, a severely damaged or infected tooth must be removed to relieve your pet’s pain and prevent further oral health issues. Tooth extractions may be required for pets with advanced periodontal disease, fractured teeth, resorptive lesions, or retained baby teeth.
We perform surgical extractions using gentle techniques, local and general anesthesia, and post-op pain management. Many pets feel significantly better within days of having a painful tooth removed.
Oral Surgery for Dogs and Cats
In addition to routine dental cleanings, we also offer a range of oral surgeries for dogs and cats. This may include growth removals, jaw fracture repair, or correction of oral deformities. Every procedure is tailored to your pet’s unique anatomy and diagnosis. We use digital imaging, advanced surgical tools, and the same safety protocols you’d expect from a human hospital.

Home Dental Care Support
Dental health doesn’t stop after the vet visit. We’ll help you establish a home care routine that fits your pet’s needs—whether that’s daily brushing, dental chews, prescription diets, or water additives. Keeping up with home dental care can dramatically reduce plaque buildup and improve your pet’s breath and well-being.
