Dental Services

Dental care is a critical component of your pet's overall health regimen and is a special feature among our clinic services. Some of our dental services include dental scaling and polishing, oral surgery, root canals, and vital pulpotomies.

All dental procedures are performed by our veterinarians and dental technicians in our dental suite- a room dedicated for the detailed nature of dental work. The dental suite allows us to provide the highest standards of dental care for your pet and includes equipment such as ultrasonic dental scalers, high-speed dental drills, and digital dental x-ray unit.

Dentistry Suite
Ultrasonic dental scaling unit is used to remove dental calculus.	Digital dental x-rays are taken of a broken premolar tooth.

	This is an x-ray of a tooth that looks healthy to the naked eye, but the x-ray shows disease below the gum line. The black "halo" around the larger root indicates a deep root infection in the bone. This tooth is diseased and needs to be removed.
	This is an x-ray taken after the tooth is surgically removed. The underlying bone begins to heal once the infected tooth is removed and the nearby teeth are spared further infection.
