What is a Board Certified Veterinary Dentist®? The Gold Standard in Veterinary Dentistry

Board Certified Veterinary Dentists® represent the pinnacle of expertise in animal dental care. These specialists are veterinarians who have completed years of advanced training beyond veterinary school, including a rigorous residency program through the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC), and have passed an intensive board certification examination.

Earning this credential is no small feat; it signifies mastery in areas like oral surgery, endodontics, periodontics, and restorative dentistry. Board Certified Veterinary Dentists® are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat complex oral and maxillofacial conditions that go far beyond routine dental care.

Here in Montana, we’re proud to have two of only about 300 Board Certified Veterinary Dentists® in the entire world, and they’re both part of our team. Their depth of knowledge, surgical precision, and commitment to excellence allow us to provide an unmatched level of care for dogs and cats throughout the region.

With their expertise, we’re able to restore comfort, function, and health to pets facing even the most advanced dental or oral conditions, helping them live happier, pain-free lives.
