Dental Care
We perform professional pet dental cleanings which are important for protecting your pet’s teeth and avoiding severe dental problems like gum disease. Our veterinarian will perform a digital dental radiograph on your pet to better diagnose dental issues that would be undiscoverable through physical examination. In cases of severe oral disease, we are equipped to perform extensive oral surgery. Our team will work with you to improve your pet’s dental health.
Ultrasound
At Sand Creek Animal Hospital, we perform ultrasounds in-office. An ultrasound is the use of ultrasonic waves to visualize internal body structures and organs for diagnostic purposes. Depending on the pet’s comfort level, ultrasounds can be performed with or without sedation. Upon completion, ultrasound results are interpreted by a specialist, who works with our veterinarian to diagnose any issues the screening might have revealed.
Laser Therapy
We have extensive experience using both cold laser therapy and hot laser therapy to assist the healing process of soft tissue injuries. Laser therapy boosts your pet’s natural immune response to injuries, reducing pain, inflammation, and promoting faster healing. The details of laser therapy vary depending on your pet’s condition. Talk to our veterinarian to find out what kind of laser therapy might benefit your pet.
