Erina Heights Vet Hospital Services
Dental
EHVH utilizes technology and
equipment which enables the diagnosis
and treatment (both medically and
surgically) of most conditions seen in a
small animal practice.
We use a
"state of the art" IM3 dental machine
unit used to perform routine dentals
through to more complex procedures. It
enables full extractions and ultrasonic
dental scaling and polishing,
effectively treating the most common
disease affecting domestic pets –
periodontal disease.
As most canine &
feline teeth are multirooted, any
extractions for all but the very loose
require the tooth to be sectioned with a
high speed cutting bur in a hand piece
driven by compressed air. Another bur is
used to remove bone surrounding the
roots to allow for a seamless
extraction. Sutures are often placed in
the gums to close the remaining defect.
Ultrasonic scaling and then tooth
polishing with single use prophy cups
completes the service. Our dedicated
digital dental X-ray machine is vital to
diagnose hidden pathology under the
gumline not evident with a dental probe.
