Arizona Veterinary Dental

History

Formerly known as Aid Animal Clinic our former owner Dr. Visser has slowly transitioned his hospital from being a General Practice to a Specialty Veterinary Dental Practice. We now have 4 locations; Gilbert, Glendale, and Scottsdale and Tucson to serve our clients. What is a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist? A Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (DAVDC) is a veterinarian who has been certified by AVDC as having demonstrated specialist knowledge and expertise in veterinary dentistry as a result of completing the AVDC training requirements and having successfully passed the AVDC examination. Our doctors at AZ Veterinary Dental Specialists, Dr. Visser, Dr. Coffman and Dr. Balke are all Board Certified Veterinary Dental Specialists with over 30yrs of combined experience. Specialty Board certification requires completing 3 to 6 years of training in the area of specialization beyond the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree.

Specialties

Arizona Veterinary Dental Specialists provides board-certified veterinary dental care for dogs, cats as well as exotic animals. Our Veterinary Dental Specialties Include: Professional Veterinary Dental Cleanings - Learn more about comprehensive annual pet teeth cleanings. Pet Oral Surgery and Extractions - Pet oral surgery and teeth extractions are sometimes necessary in the case of pet fractured pet teeth, pet oral cancer or growths or pet jaw fractures. Periodontal Disease and Treatment - Periodontal disease includes gingivitis (inflammation [reddening] of the gums) and periodontitis (loss of bone and soft tissue around the teeth). Often with periodontal therapy, we can save a pet's teeth from extraction. Orthodontic Treatment & Bite Evaluation - Abnormal bites (malocclusions) in a dog or cat can develop as a result of failure or slow loss of the primary teeth, or failure or slow eruption of the secondary teeth and may be potentially painful for your pet. Root Canal Treatment - Root canal therapy can save teeth in dogs and cats that are fractured or abscessed. Teeth serve an important function for animals and it is beneficial to save them. Crowns and Restorative Dentistry - Crowns and restorative dentistry can restore the structure of a pet's tooth after damage caused by diseased or fractured teeth. Feline Dental Disease - Feline tooth resorption and feline stomatitis can be both painful and debilitating for cats.
