At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, we believe the best care is the kind that starts before problems begin. Our preventive wellness program is built around one simple idea: every pet deserves attentive, individualized care at every stage of life. Whether you have a curious new kitten, an energetic young dog, or a senior companion with a few gray muzzle hair, we tailor every visit to where your pet is right now and where you want them to be.

Preventive care is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. Rather than waiting for illness or injury to bring you through our door, wellness visits give our team the opportunity to catch early warning signs, update essential protections, and build a clear picture of your pet's health over time. The relationship we build through regular visits is one of the most powerful tools we have, because the better we know your pet, the better we can care for them.

Our wellness exams are thorough, unhurried, and personalized. We take into account your pet's age, breed, lifestyle, environment, and your own observations as their owner. You know your pet better than anyone, and we want to hear from you.

From your pet's very first visit to their golden years, our wellness services are designed to keep them protected, comfortable, and thriving at every stage. Each visit is personalized to your pet's age, lifestyle, and individual health needs, because thoughtful, proactive care makes all the difference.


CONSULT

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.

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 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 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.

Annual and biannual nose-to-tail examinations to assess your pet's overall health, detect early changes, and establish a baseline we can track over time. We recommend twice-yearly exams for senior pets, when health can shift more quickly.

1

Core and lifestyle-based vaccine protocols tailored to your pet's age, health history, and daily environment. We follow current veterinary guidelines and never recommend more or less than what your pet actually needs.

2

Year-round protection from fleas, ticks, heartworm, and intestinal parasites. Omaha's climate and your pet's outdoor activity level both factor into the prevention plan we recommend for your household.

3

Bloodwork, urinalysis, thyroid panels, and fecal testing help us monitor organ function and catch conditions like thyroid disease, diabetes, kidney changes, and anemia before symptoms become serious. Early detection means more treatment options and better outcomes.

4

Your pet's diet, weight, and daily routine all influence their long-term health. We offer practical, down-to-earth guidance that fits your pet's real life, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

5

Even with the best preventive care in place, pets can become ill or injured unexpectedly. When your dog or cat isn't acting like themselves, prompt attention makes a real difference. At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, we see sick pets alongside our scheduled wellness appointments and work to get your pet evaluated as quickly as possible.

Whether your pet is showing signs of a digestive upset, a respiratory infection, a skin condition, or something less easy to identify, our team will take the time to examine them thoroughly, discuss your observations, and develop a clear plan of action.

What your pet eats every day has a direct and lasting impact on their health, energy, and quality of life. At Rockbrook Animal Clinic, nutritional guidance is a routine part of every wellness visit because we know that feeding recommendations can be overwhelming and that the right answer is different for every pet. We take into account your pet's age, breed, weight, activity level, and any existing health conditions before making any recommendations.
  • Personalized feeding guidance for puppies, kittens, adult pets, and seniors
  • Weight management support for pets that are overweight or underweight
  • Dietary recommendations for pets managing chronic conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, allergies, or joint disease
  • Guidance on transitioning between diets safely and effectively
  • Discussion of prescription diets where appropriate
