DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Signs Your Pet May Need More Than a Routine Dental Care

 

 

Repeat dental procedures

 

Persistent bad breath

 

A broken or discoloured tooth

 

No longer playing with toys

 

Misaligned painful teeth & oral lumps

 

Difficulty chewing &  Dropping food

Most pets continue eating despite significant oral pain. Dental disease and oral injury can affect their comfort, behaviour, sleep, appetite, and overall wellbeing — often more than families realise.

Unsure what you’re seeing?

HOW WE HELP

 

Broken Teeth & Oral Trauma

Fractured teeth can expose the sensitive inner pulp and lead to significant pain or infection. In selected cases, early treatment may help preserve the tooth, relieve discomfort, and maintain long-term comfort.

Puppy Dental Development

Some puppies develop painful tooth positioning as they grow, particularly when lower canine teeth contact the palate. Early intervention can correct this condition, preventing ongoing discomfort and helping preserve these important adult teeth for life.

Advanced Periodontal Care

Gum disease is one of the most common causes of chronic pain in pets, as well as tooth loss. Whilst some teeth require extraction, others may benefit from advanced periodontal procedures designed to improve comfort and help preserve the teeth that matter most.

Oral Surgery & Laser Procedures

We use carbon dioxide laser technology for selected oral procedures, allowing precise soft tissue surgery and creating opportunities to preserve surrounding teeth and maintain comfort where extraction may otherwise be necessary.

Real Stories From Our Patients

 
Bronte’s Story

A hidden unerupted tooth had developed a large cyst that extended into Bronte’s nasal cavity, making it difficult for her to breathe. After advanced imaging and surgery, Bronte was able to breathe more comfortably, sleep peacefully, and enjoy life like the happy young boxer she was meant to be again.

Sophie’s Story

Sophie was suffering from severe feline gingivostomatitis — a painful inflammatory condition that is traditionally treated by extracting all of the teeth. After targeted dental treatment and a new oral medical therapy, Sophie gained weight, blossomed into her cheeky personality, and, most importantly, has been able to keep most of her teeth whilst living comfortably and pain-free.

Nala’s Story

Only a baby of 5 months old, Nala’s brand new adult teeth were coming in too narrow. This means they were on track to hit her palate. When this happens, the tooth can eventually penetrate the palate and create an opening into the nasal cavity. Nala had a set of crown extensions placed to move her teeth into just the right spot, so that she can grow up and keep her winning smile!
