Valley Vets Dental Services
With our dedicated dental suite and dental X-ray we are happy to see dental work from practices where the referring vet does not have this facility.
We encourage a proactive approach to veterinary dentistry where dental problems are picked up and addressed sooner rather than later. We would advise annual health checks as a minimum and in many cases 6 month dental checks can identify issues before they worsen.
Sometimes the dental treatment needed for your pet can be extensive and we appreciate the cost can be overwhelming. At Valley Vets we offer and encourage a staged dental approach where extensive work can be done in several stages, always trying to work to an owners budget, yet ensuring high quality treatment.
What we offer at Valley Dentistry?
The first stage of any dental treatment would normally include:
- Pre-anaesthetic health check.
- Pre-anaesthetic bloods on our more elderly patients (optional)
- Fluid therapy (optional)
- General anaesthetic
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Full mouth scale and polish
- Full mouth charting (assessment).
- Dental X-rays where necessary.
- 1st Stage Extractions depending on client and patient factors.
We are also happy to see:
- Routine dental treatment to include surgical extractions.
