Dental Surgery

Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in our pets. Dental disease is painful - even if our pets are still eating! If your pet has smelly breath, red gums, a broken tooth, teeth covered in tartar or is having trouble eating (or you have any concerns about their teeth or mouths at all!) - we can help!

We also take referrals from other veterinary practices for those pets with more complicated issues, or those looking for advice or alternative treatment options.
