DENTAL CARE
| Regular dental care
is essential to helping your pet's teeth and to have a
longer and healthier life. We use a ultrasonic scaler to clean
each tooth thoroughly, both above and below the gum line. Dental
technicians polish teeth to create a smooth, lustrous tooth surface
more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen
enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity. Our digital dental x-rays help us
reveal dental disease above and below the gum line. |

LASER SURGERY
Laser surgery is a
less invasive alternative to traditional surgery. Lasers replace
scalpels in
many procedures and are useful for treating a wide range of
conditions such as Soft Palate Resection, Stenotic Nares
Correction, Declawing as well as cyst, tumor and wart removal.
Laser
procedures result in less pain, less bleeding and less swelling.
They
reduce risk of infection and result in less post-operative discomfort.

recommendations, vaccination program, and specialized diagnostic test
