Dentistry

Pets need dental care too!
Poor dental care is one of the most common ways more serious health issues arise in animals. Without care, bacteria from oral disease can enter the bloodstream causing damage to your pet’s heart, kidneys, or liver. Besides those serious issues, pets with dental problems can experience serious pain.

Dedicated dental suite
Briarcliff has a full medical suite specially for dentistry. Because the state-of-the-art anesthesia and radiology equipment is optimized and available immediately during dentistry procedures, your pet’s care is optimal and the time under anesthesia is minimized.

Briarcliff’s dentistry staff has regular post-graduate training in the latest dentistry techniques and technologies.

During the procedure, 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 that is more resistant to plaque buildup. Fluoride treatments help strengthen enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

Should any undetected dental disease be diagnosed during to the procedure, we will contact the client to discuss treatment options immediately.
