At Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists, we are equipped to treat all aspects of oral health for pets, including oral surgery, root canal therapy, periodontal surgery and metal crown restorations. We use materials and techniques that are current with the latest research and published data in the field of veterinary and human dentistry.
All of our offices use state of the art anesthetic monitoring systems to provide us with continuous readings of the dog or cat's vital organ systems. These monitor the EKG, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation and amount of carbon dioxide exhaled. With these values, we are able to treat abnormalities before they can
compromise the patient’s safety. Our clinics are also equipped with in-house blood machines that help evaluate a pet's vital organs prior to anesthesia.
