Dental & Surgical Procedures


Anesthesia:

Isoflurane gas anesthesia and modern methods are only part of the picture; monitoring and attention to our patients is also key.  Your pet's safety is our primary concern!  Pre-anesthetic blood testing is recommended, and if there is a problem with your pet’s blood tests, you can expect a call from us, and we’ll postpone the procedure until the problem is addressed.

During ALL anesthetic procedures we continually monitor your pets blood pressure, tidal CO2,  pulse oximeter,  heart rate, EKG, and body temperature.  An IV catheter will also be used in order to continually administer IV fluids during anesthesia, and pain medications as needed.

Certified Dental Technicians:

Our staff includes technicians who have been certified by the American Society of Veterinary Dental Technicians to perform dental procedures. 

Dental Care:

Regular professional cleaning is important to maintaining your pet's teeth.  We use modern and safe ultrasound to clean each tooth thoroughly - 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.  Specialized dental sealants may also be recommended to reduce tarter build - up, and help to protect your pets teeth.
