Dental care, done differently

Why In-House Dental Care Matters

Most practices send dental work out. West Ave does not

Cleanings, X-Rays, and Extractions, All Under One Roof

Many practices refer dental work out to an outside specialist, which means another trip, another team, and another set of records for your pet to carry around. At West Ave, our dedicated dental hygienists handle teeth cleanings, dental x-rays, and extractions right here, with the same team that already knows your pet.

He still believes the job is simple: know your patients, tell their families the truth, and never cut corners on care.

He’ll never recommend a treatment your pet doesn’t need.
He takes on complicated cases other vets have already turned away.

Dental Pain Is Easy to Miss Until It Isn’t

You’ve noticed yellow buildup on their teeth and don’t know how urgent it is
Your pet has started eating on one side of their mouth, or eating less altogether
Another vet rushed through the dental check without really explaining anything
You’ve been told your pet needs a cleaning, but you’re not totally sure why it matters

Pets hide pain well. Their teeth usually tell the real story!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes. West Ave Animal Hospital is an independent practice, and we’re currently welcoming new clients in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, and Highland Beach.

How do I know if my pet needs a dental cleaning?

Bad breath, yellow or brown buildup on the teeth, red or swollen gums, and reluctance to chew are the most common signs. If you’re not sure, call and we’ll help you figure it out.

Is anesthesia safe for dental cleanings?

Yes. A real cleaning below the gum line, where most dental disease actually lives, requires anesthesia to be done safely and thoroughly. We monitor every pet closely throughout the procedure.

Do you send dental work out to another clinic?

No. Cleanings, dental x-rays, and extractions are all handled in our office, so your pet stays with the same team throughout, no referral needed.

How often should my pet get a dental cleaning?

Most dogs and cats benefit from a professional cleaning once a year, though it can vary by breed and individual pet. Annual checks let us catch problems while they’re still simple to treat.
