Treating the root of the matter – to help your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary dentistry and oral surgery team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating diseases of the teeth, gums and mouth, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has a dental condition, you’ll have an entire dentistry and oral surgery team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our dentistry and oral surgery team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive care options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our dentistry and oral surgery team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.

Some of Dr. Alterman’s favorite pastimes include skiing, camping, hiking and exploring national parks. She also plays the flute and piccolo. She and her husband live with two cats and and a dog.
We want you to be prepared for your pet’s visit to the dentist, so you have one less thing to worry about. Our entire BluePearl team will be with you every step of the way.
