This veterinary dentist and practice owner of Your Pet Dentist in Memphis and Little Rock, Arkansas, says it's worth a little extra money to get your dental lab work right. It's fair to pass that small extra cost onto the client in these treatment plans, because you'll love the results. He recommends the University of Wisconsin Center for Comparative Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. (Don't worry: He jokingly assures us he doesn't get any kickbacks.)
