Why do I need a referral for a consultation?

 

We are a referral practice only, which means that we work in collaboration with your regular veterinarian to help with the dental needs of your pet. Your pet will need a full physical exam and preanesthetic bloodwork with your regular veterinarian prior to any dental surgery. 

 

We will communicate with your regular veterinarian throughout the entire referral process. We will send a report following the consultation outlining exactly what was discovered and the tentative treatment plan. Following surgery a detailed surgical report will be sent including a description of the surgery performed, photographs, and x-rays.
