Comprehensive Dentistry Package
For new dentistry patients and pets that have not received dental care at Good Sam within the past year.
One Predictable Price. Complete Dental Treatment.
Our comprehensive dentistry package includes the dental procedure and all medically appropriate dental treatment our veterinarian determines your pet needs during that procedure.
$680 is the package price—not an estimate.
Whether your pet needs no extractions, several extractions, or more complex oral surgery, the dentistry package price remains $680.
The price does not increase if more dental treatment is needed than expected, and it does not decrease if fewer teeth are extracted or the procedure is less extensive.
Dentistry always includes some uncertainty. Our package model allows us to provide comprehensive treatment for one predictable price without changing the bill based on what is discovered after your pet is anesthetized.
You can text, calltext, call, or email us anytime to reserve an appointment day for your pet.

How Are Treatment Decisions Made?
Once your pet is anesthetized, the veterinarian performs a complete oral examination and evaluates each tooth individually.
Our goal is to preserve teeth that are healthy, comfortable, and reasonably likely to remain functional. Teeth are removed when they are diseased or damaged beyond what can be appropriately treated without extraction.
Treatment decisions may be based on:
- Dental radiographs
- Periodontal probing
- The amount of bone supporting the tooth
- The health of the tooth root
- Tooth stability
- Signs of infection or inflammation
- Pulp exposure or internal tooth damage
- The likelihood that the tooth can remain comfortable long-term
Our doctors use established veterinary dental standards together with professional judgment to determine whether a tooth should be treated, monitored, or extracted.
For a closer look at how we evaluate individual teeth and the conditions that commonly guide these decisions, visit How We Make Dental Treatment Decisions.
Why We Do Not Charge Per Tooth
The number of extractions a pet requires does not directly correlate to the complexity of any given dental procedure.
A pet may need extensive periodontal treatment without needing extractions. Dental radiographs may reveal disease that was not visible during an awake examination. Some patients require additional anesthesia support, medications, monitoring, or more complex oral surgery rather than or in addition to extractions.
Likewise, an experienced veterinarian may be able to complete a difficult extraction efficiently because of advanced skill and experience.
In short, the value of the procedure is not determined simply by how many teeth are removed.
Package pricing also means we do not need to repeatedly contact you for financial approval while your pet is under anesthesia simply because additional dental disease is discovered.
Instead, our veterinarian can provide the complete, medically appropriate dental treatment your pet needs without creating a changing bill during the procedure.
What If My Pet Needs Few or No Extractions?
A healthy dental outcome is not measured by the number of teeth removed.
Even when few or no extractions are necessary, your pet may still receive important treatment such as:
- Cleaning beneath the gumline
- Treatment of gingival pockets and periodontal disease
- Evaluation of crowded or abnormally positioned teeth
- Assessment of worn, fractured, or discolored teeth
- Full-mouth dental radiographs to evaluate tooth roots and supporting bone
- Monitoring of tooth resorption or other developing dental disease
- Detailed periodontal charting
- Individualized recommendations for ongoing dental care
Preserving a healthy tooth is a successful treatment outcome.
Our goal is never to extract a certain number of teeth in order to justify the package price. Our goal is to identify disease accurately, treat what needs treatment, and preserve comfortable teeth whenever appropriate.
Our Commitment to Your Pet
Our goal is to provide your pet with a mouth that is healthier, more comfortable, and free from pain and infection.
We will preserve healthy teeth whenever appropriate, remove teeth that cannot reasonably remain in the mouth, and provide complete dental treatment using the veterinarian's professional judgment.
