We welcome your call should you wish to consult about a challenging case, or, if you make a referral for care, please know we promise your clients and patients an exceptional experience.

VDS is the only referral practice in the nation dedicated to advanced dentistry and oral surgery for pets where a full-time board-certified veterinary dentist and a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist are on staff to ensure the safest and most comfortable experience… and the best possible outcome.
