Your Full-Service Dental Care
Hospital in Cumming
We offer dental and oral health services for cats and dogs. From routine cleanings to dental surgery and extractions - all under one roof.
We use ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, followed by professional polishing to smooth tooth surfaces and prevent future buildup.
Since 75% of dental disease is hidden below the gumline, we use digital X-rays to visualize tooth roots and bone health, ensuring no painful issues are left behind.
If a tooth is infected or damaged beyond repair, our surgeons perform safe, gentle extractions with local nerve blocks to minimize pain and speed up healing.
We provide personalized plans for home maintenance, including recommendations for tooth brushing, dental chews, and oral rinses to keep your pet's breath fresh between visits.

Why Your Pet’s Dental Health Can't Wait?
Over 80% of dogs and cats over the age of three show signs of active dental disease. At Barkfield Animal Hospital, we treat dental hygiene as a vital part of preventative medicine. Our "COHAT" (Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment and Treatment) ensures that we aren't just cleaning teeth, but evaluating the entire health of your pet's mouth to prevent systemic infections that could shorten their lifespan.
