Dentistry

Our doctors have the training needed to provide routine dental care appropriate for horses of all ages as well as to address complex problems when they arise. Unlike other species, horses' teeth erupt and are worn down throughout their lifetime. Routine dental care by a skilled veterinarian helps to preserve the function and health of your horse’s teeth throughout their life. Annual dental exams are recommended for all horses.

Common problems that we address include fractures, tooth loss, infections, uneven wear, and abnormal development. While many of these issues can be addressed in the field, collaboration with our surgeons is always available if warranted.

Dental Services Offered:

• Oral examinations, facilitated by use of a dental camera.

• Power and hand dental floats.

• Advanced imaging including digital radiographs, endoscopy and sinoscopy.

• Periodontal disease diagnosis and treatment.

• Surgical dental procedures.

• Geriatric dental care.
