New specialty practice provides advanced dental care and oral surgery for dogs and cats in the Sacramento area
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Sept. 22, 2026) – Dog and cat owners in Sacramento now have local access to advanced veterinary dentistry and oral surgery.
Thrive Pet Healthcare has opened
Dentistry and Oral Surgery for Animals Sacramento, a specialty veterinary clinic dedicated to diagnosing and treating complex dental disease and oral conditions in dogs and cats throughout the Sacramento area.
The clinic is located at 8299 East Stockton Blvd., Suite B, in Sacramento and shares space with Vista Veterinary Specialists.
“Dental disease can cause significant pain, but pets often don’t show obvious signs that something is wrong,” said Dr. Jennie Ha, board-certified veterinary dentist at Dentistry and Oral Surgery for Animals Sacramento.“Having advanced veterinary dental and oral surgery services here in Sacramento gives pet owners and their veterinarians another local option when a dog or cat needs care beyond a routine dental procedure.”
Veterinary Dental and Oral Surgery Services
Dentistry and Oral Surgery for Animals Sacramento provides advanced dental
treatments for pets, including:
Complex tooth extractions
Oral mass evaluation and surgery
Jaw fracture repair
Root canal treatment
Periodontal disease treatment
“Many dental problems can be treated in ways that relieve pain while preserving a pet’s teeth whenever possible,” Dr. Ha said. “Our goal is to evaluate each patient individually and recommend the treatment that best supports that pet’s comfort, oral health and quality of life.”
Veterinary Referrals and Appointments
The clinic accepts referrals from veterinarians throughout California and neighboring states. Pet owners may also contact the clinic directly for dental services.
“Primary care veterinarians are often the first to identify a fractured tooth, oral mass or another dental problem that may require specialty care,” Dr. Ha said. “We want to be a resource for those veterinarians and work closely with them so their patients can receive the treatment they need and return to their regular veterinary team for ongoing care.”
Pet owners concerned about their pet’s dental health can contact the clinic directly or speak with their primary veterinarian about referral options. To schedule an appointment, call 916-760-2310. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
