Our digital dental X-ray system enables us to get a detailed look at your pet’s teeth and gums, helping diagnose dental issues like tooth decay, abscesses, and bone loss that may not be visible during a standard dental examination. Early detection ensures we can treat dental issues before they cause further discomfort or health complications.
