* All of our dentistry procedures are performed with the patient under anesthesia to provide the best assessment and treatment available. We understand how scary it is for many of us to have our pets go under anesthesia, and especially our older pets! However, many times the risk of leaving the dental disease untreated is greater than the risk of anesthesia. The majority of our patients receiving dental care are older and we are proud to offer quality anesthetic and pain control drugs, state of the art monitoring equipment, and well trained staff to ensure the safest possible anesthetic experience for your pet!
