Yes this exists and it's a DVM specialty, so you need to go to vet school first.

From what I know many vets contact human dentists(with some form of further training I presume) for anything more than the simplest dental procedures on animals. Here is one story, and this is a video of dental work on a tiger.

However, for the board-certified specialty of veterinary dentistry you need a DVM first.

U of Louisville actually has a program where you can work on animals at their local zoo. Nothing major if I remember right...but still awesome nonetheless.
