Cat & Dog Dental Care
Our dental specialists use full-mouth x-rays, probing, and charting to address periodontal disease. With 42 teeth in dogs and 30 in cats, our thorough approach prevents systemic infections. All veterinarians receive extra dentistry training to maintain enamel health four times thinner than human enamel.
Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy reduces inflammation and promotes cellular regeneration. The multi-wavelength laser system treats arthritis, gingivitis, and wounds without anesthesia. Sessions typically last 15-30 minutes with visible improvements after 3-5 treatments for chronic conditions.
