Dallas Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery
We need cat and dog x-ray to properly diagnose and treat dental disease and a multitude of other oral conditions. Radiographs give us the bigger picture regarding an animal’s dental health by revealing underlying damage that might otherwise be missed. A treatment’s success relies on the accuracy and clarity that digital dental radiology provides. Every patient we see for treatment receives full-mouth x-rays. Call us today at (817) 431-8451.
