The Dentistry & Oral Surgery Service offers the whole
range of dental services for dogs and cats.
As all procedures are performed under general anesthesia, all patients receive
a comprehensive general medical examination prior to the dental procedure.
Full-mouth dental radiographs are obtained of all new patients. |

Periodontics |
| |
|
|
| |
 |
Routine periodontal treatment includes periodontal
charting, supragingival scaling, subgingival periodontal debridement, and
polishing.
|
| |
|
Advanced periodontal treatment, such as periodontal flap surgery
or guided tissue regeneration, is available if indicated. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Endodontics |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Various types of root canal treatment are routinely performed
for saving fractured teeth with exposed pulp, abscessed teeth, or teeth
with diseased pulp. |

|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Orthodontics |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Animals with an abnormal bite receive an comprehensive
orthodontic evaluation, which may form the basis for genetic counseling.
|
| |
|
Malocclusions are only treated by orthodontic
means if they cause pain and discomfort.
|
| |
|
Displacement of lower canine teeth, a common
problem in the dog, causes serious trauma to the hard palate. The condition
can be treated successfully by installing an orthodontic bite plate, which
avoids the need for tooth extraction. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Prosthodontics |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Crown restorations and bridges can repair severely worn or
fractured teeth. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Oral Surgery |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Difficult extractions can be facilitated by utilizing surgical
extraction techniques, for example the removal of part of the bone plate
that overlays the tooth root, which is especially useful with large teeth
such as the canines.
|
| |
|
Advanced surgical techniques are used to repair accidental
jaw injuries or conditions such as cleft palate. Various types of oral tumors
can be removed surgically with very good functional and cosmetic results.
Mandibular fractures, even in patients with multiple fractures or missing
bone fragments, can be effectively stabilized and healed with the use of
advanced composite splints or miniplates. |

Oral Medicine |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Oral manifestations of systemic diseases, immune-mediated diseases
and chronic oral inflammatory diseases may pose a diagnostic and therapeutic
challenge. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Rabbits and rodents are
welcome patients at the Dentistry & Oral Surgery Service but are received by the Companion Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine Service. Comprehensive
oral examination, including dental radiographs, is routinely performed and
advanced dental procedures, such as occlusal adjustments and sophisticated
extraction techniques, are available. |
