DentalVets is a dedicated referral practice specialising in dentistry and oral surgery for dogs, cats, and zoo animals. Our main operating room features three fully equipped bays, each with a heated dental table, dental X-ray machine, processor, and patient monitoring equipment, allowing us to run multiple procedures simultaneously. We also have a dedicated sterile theatre for plating cases. Our growing team includes four vets, one anaesthetist, four RVNs, and three support staff.
Based in Haddington, East Lothian, we’re located just a short drive from the coast and within easy reach of Edinburgh. Our patients travel from across Scotland and the north of England. We pride ourselves on being a supportive and welcoming team, and there's usually a friendly competition underway to keep spirits high and make the working day that bit more fun.
