Keeping your pet healthy has never been easier.

Pet Dental Cleaning

Our pets need their teeth cleaned, just like us! We provide Complete Oral Health Assessment and Treatment (COHAT) services. This involves taking full dental radiographs followed by the cleaning and charting of each tooth in your pet's mouth.

Dental Radiography Arrow right icon

Dental radiographs are required for the vast majority of our procedures and are always obtained to evaluate the extent of disease and possible treatment options. We utilize the latest technology to assure we have immediate access to images and can make an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Cone Beam CT

We are the only dental specialty practice in Northeast Texas to offer Cone Beam CT - a cutting-edge, advanced imaging.

The XoranTMVetCat rotates around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam. The data is used to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image of the teeth and the entire maxillofacial region. This modality is able to detect lesions associated with the teeth earlier, and guides surgical planning for complicated oral procedures.

Restorations

There are several reasons that veterinary patients may benefit from tooth restorations. Fractured teeth, congenital problems with enamel and occasionally cavities all may require careful restoration of the damage. This is not simply a cosmetic issue—the weakened dental structures will wear or fracture more easily, causing discomfort and putting the tooth at risk of infection and death.

Jaw Fracture Repair Arrow right icon

Treating a fractured jaw requires precision and expertise, given the complexity of the injury. Key challenges include preserving the integrity of the remaining teeth, maintaining the jaw's function and the comfort of the bite (occlusion), and addressing other related trauma. Our veterinarians are equipped with specialized tools and a wealth of experience in repairing upper jaw (maxillary) and lower jaw (mandibular) fractures, ensuring the best possible outcome for your pet.

Periodontal Treatment

Periodontal disease is incredibly common among pets, affecting approximately 80% of dogs and cats by the time they are 3 years old. Our hospital provides advanced treatment solutions tailored to your pet's specific needs. We are committed to ensuring that your pet receives the best possible dental care.

Orthodontics

Pet orthodontics address malocclusions; teeth that are not properly aligned which can damage your pet's teeth and hurt their gums. Our vets assess any bite issues and suggest the best treatment, whether it's removing certain teeth, trimming down othersl or straightening them out. We're here to ensure your pet's mouth is as healthy as can be.

Endodontics Arrow right icon

Veterinary endodontics refer to the treatment of damaged pulp in your pet's teeth. To prevent infection or cyst formation, these teeth require intervention—through extraction or root canal therapy. Root canal therapy involves cleaning, shaping, disinfecting, and filling the tooth's interior, followed by restoring the tooth with a composite. Our doctors are not only extensively trained but also equipped with specialized tools to conduct both conventional and surgical root canal treatments, along with vital pulp therapy.

Pet Dental Extraction Arrow right icon

Our team specializes in navigating the complexities of dental extractions. Challenges such as advanced disease, unique anatomical variations, and conditions weakening the jaw require expertise beyond routine care. We're adept at handling unique cases, providing safe and effective treatment for every patient.

Oral Medicine

Many issues that don't require surgery can arise in your pet's mouth—things like infections, immune system problems, unexplained chronic pain, and more. During their appointment, our team will conduct the necessary tests to work towards a clear diagnosis. Trust our tream to guide you through identifying the best treatment path so we can get your furry friend on the way to recovery.

Orofacial Surgery Arrow right icon

Oral neoplasia has been reported to account for 6% to 7% of all canine cancers and 3% of all feline cancers. We perform incisional and excisional biopsies and work closely with a world-renowned veterinary oral pathologist to help diagnose and treat your pet's oral cancer. We also have extensive experience in other advanced surgery of the face including cleft palate surgery, salivary gland surgery, lymph node surgery, soft tissue defect repair, and surgery of the TMJ.

Pediatric Dentistry

Puppies and kittens start getting their baby teeth within the first few weeks of life. Occasionally, young pets will develop dental problems like a malocclusion or persistent deciduous teeth (baby teeth that do not fall out when they should). This can be delicate work in your pet's small, rapidly developing mouth, and our veterinarians have the experience and training to give your pet's teeth the best start possible.
