Extractions

Teeth are extracted under general anesthesia to address advanced dental issues in pets. Despite extractions, most dogs and cats adapt well and maintain normal eating habits.

Oronasal Fistula

A connection between the mouth and nasal cavities, often due to advanced periodontal disease, requires surgical repair to prevent chronic nasal irritation and infection.

Homecare

Consistent home care, including brushing, chews and dental diets, is key to preventing periodontal disease and maintaining your pet’s oral health between cleanings.

Canine Chronic Ulcerative Stomatitis

This painful oral disease causes severe inflammation and ulceration. Treatment includes strict plaque control, regular dental care, or full mouth extractions in severe cases.

Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS)

This painful oral disease in cats causes severe inflammation and ulceration. Treatment often requires full mouth extractions, as medical management alone is insufficient.
