Cat & Dog X-Ray is an Essential Part of Treatment
We need cat and dog x-ray to properly diagnose and treat dental disease and a multitude of other oral conditions. Radiographs give us the bigger picture regarding an animal’s dental health by revealing underlying damage that might otherwise be missed. A treatment’s success relies on the accuracy and clarity that digital dental radiology provides. Every patient we see for treatment receives full-mouth x-rays. Call us today at (817) 431-8451.
Areas of Concern that Our Specialists Need to Evaluate
- The teeth’s supporting structures
- Issues with the crowns and roots of the teeth
- The supporting bones and soft tissue
- Facial and jaw bones
- The nasal cavity

We have access to superior cat and dog x-ray technology that:
- Uses 90% less radiation than traditional film x-ray
- Produces remarkably clear images for more accurate diagnosis
- Takes far less time to produce quality images
