Annual Cat & Dog Exams for a Healthier, Longer Life

Pets live their lives to the fullest—why not make every moment count? Since our four-legged friends age quickly, it’s important that they pay routine visits to their veterinarian in Orlando, Oviedo or Maitland at least once a year for cat or dog exams. Preventing diseases and other problems altogether means that your pet can enjoy a happier and potentially longer life.

Why Healthy Pets Need Exams

Looks can be deceiving. Your pet can't tell you when they're sick, and they may even try to hide it. While they seem healthy on the outside, we need to see what's happening on the inside to be sure. Problems start small and catching them early allows for quicker treatment.

Plus, seeing your pet regularly means we can address your concerns quickly. You can also expect more opportunities to learn about your pet’s primary needs, and have a stronger partnership with us.

What Happens During a Checkup?

Our veterinarians have an eye for detail and years of knowledge to ensure that no problem, no matter how small, goes unnoticed. When you bring in your pet for their visit, we take the time to:

CONSULT

This is the first step in the full arch process. During this appointment, you will meet with your Dr. Kurt O. Bally DMD FICOI to discuss your needs and options for dental implants. The consultation will typically take about an hour. This first and free visit is $525 value.
STEP 1
STEP 2

RECORDS

Your dentist will take a series of records, including dental x-rays, 3D scans, and photographs. These records will be used to create a treatment plan and to fabricate your dental implants.

PRE-SURGICAL CONSULT

This appointment is held before the surgery to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the recovery process. You will also have a chance to ask any questions you may have.
STEP 3
STEP 4

SURGERY

This is the procedure where the implants are placed into your jawbone. The surgery typically takes about 2 hours per jaw and is done safely with oral anesthesia. All patients leave with their new temporary teeth on the day of the surgery and will return within 1-2 weeks to have their first post-op visit and receive their fist implant prototype teeth. It is important to remain on a very soft diet after surgery and before receiving your first prototype.

PROTOTYPES

1-2 weeks after your surgery you will return to check your healing and receive your first set of implant prototype teeth that will be attached directly to your implants. We allow up to 3 versions of teeth during the healing process to ensure the dentist and patient is happy with the look and feel. As your implants heal your dentist will create a series of prototypes for your implant bridge. These prototypes will be used to test the fit and function of the bridge before it is permanently placed.
STEP 5
STEP 6

HEALING

The implants will need to heal for 4-6 months before the next step can be taken. Dr. Bally will also provide a night guard to help prevent excess pressure from going to your implants. As you heal you will remain on a soft diet.

PROTOTYPING AND VERIFICATION

Once the implants have healed, your dentist will create a final prototype of your dental bridge. This prototype will be verified to ensure that it is the correct size, shape, and color. Before authorizing the fabrication of your new zirconia implant smile.
STEP 7
STEP 8

DELIVERY

This is the appointment where your permanent dental bridge is placed. The procedure typically takes about 1 hour. It's a truly rewarding visit for everyone.

POST-DELIVERY CONSULT AND DOCUMENTATION

This appointment is held after your new zirconia implant smile is installed and your final night guard is given and instructions to maintain your smile are discussed. Final pictures, X-rays and video mark the end of your zirconia implant smile journey.
STEP 9
STEP 10

MAINTENANCE

Your zirconia implant smile will need to be maintained on a regular basis to ensure that it continues to function properly. This may include cleaning, adjustments, and checkups.
Check your pet’s vitals (heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature)
Examine them from nose to tail for bumps, lumps, and other abnormal conditions
Check blood and fecal samples so we can see if your pet has parasites, an infection, or another problem
