Veterinary Dental Specialties & Oral Surgery

Our regular vet recommended VDS for our dog due to a benign mass and chipped tooth. It’s important to understand that board certified veterinary dentists are a specialty and there aren’t a ton in OC. This is different from a vet that does dental cleanings. We realized that our dog’s situation required this expertise and were very impressed with the level of care our sweet boy received. At the consult the dr did a through exam. We received an estimate and then I later called the staff to talk me through it again. They were very patient. The dr even called me to go through it again to make sure we understood all the options. There was a 3wk wait from consult to booking the procedure. During the procedure the vet took pics and then came out and showed my husband who was there so they could make the best decision for treatment (we needed x rays to determine how extensive the work would be). We returned home the same day. After care was typed up and emailed to us. The vet called the next day to check on him as well. We are a week out and Bodhi is doing great! The cost was honestly what I would expect for a specialist and the work done (root canal + mass removal), and they saved our dog’s tooth so to me this is the value you get from a board certified specialist. Highly recommend if your animal is in need of dental work. We will return for annual cleanings.

So thankful we found Dr. Bajwa and Dr. Furman. Our older lab mix had an abscessed tooth. He’s now a few months post of and doing great! We recently went back for our cat who needed 2 extractions. My very anxious cat didn’t seem traumatized at all!!! Cannot recommend enough.

For high-risk patients, I highly recommend VDS Irvine. It does cost an arm and a leg, but Dr. Furman is awesome and the practice has the resources and knowledge to perform anaesthetic procedures on dogs with severe heart disease. Benji, my loyal companion, is much more comfortable and healthy after his extractions.

Awesome Veterinary Dentist. In and out with super personal care and way less stress for my cat. Jasper wasn’t all that excited but he definately wasn’t traumatized. So happy to have found these folks. Pet ECG & blood work done seamlessly ready for extraction in 2-days. Planned for only a 2-hour procedure. 👍

Thank you so much for taking care of Finn! I came to Vet Dental Specialties because my dog had chipped a tooth. I had a great experience both at the consultation appointment and today for the procedure. Dr. Furman explained the issue with the tooth and the game plan in detail. He took his time and answered all of my questions, I never felt rushed. They only do one procedure at a time so I dropped my dog off at 8am, picked up by 10am, and he was at home resting by 10:30am. I was so happy that he didn’t have to spend all day there. The receptionists and technician were so nice and helpful and Finn loved everyone he met there (as you can see in the pic, he was very concerned when any of his new friends left the room). I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Absolutely amazing doctor and staff. We are very grateful for the care and love we received from this office. It’s worth every penny to have a very experienced doctor as Dr Furman and his staff taking care of our little one. Your pet will be very well taken care of here. 🦋

$174 dollars just to talk about what your pet may or may not have without an actual look at their mouth seems excessive. Spent more time talking about the proposed treatment than examining my dogs teeth. The proposed treatment was between 2-4k seems excessive. There's got to be a more cost effective way.
