Welcome to Animal Dental Clinic, where we provide advanced veterinary prosthodontics for pets requiring restorative dental solutions. Prosthodontics focuses on restoring damaged or missing teeth to improve function, comfort, and long-term oral health.
Our specialized dental team combines advanced diagnostics, precision techniques, and customized treatment planning to deliver high-quality restorative care for dogs and cats.
Veterinary prosthodontics is a specialized branch of veterinary dentistry focused on restoring teeth that have been fractured, worn down, or structurally compromised. Rather than extracting certain strategically important teeth, prosthodontic treatment may preserve the tooth using custom restorations.
Common prosthodontic treatments include:
Prosthodontics helps maintain normal chewing function, jaw alignment, and comfort while preserving natural tooth structure whenever possible.
Prosthodontics may be recommended when:
At Animal Dental Clinic, we evaluate each case carefully to determine whether restoration or extraction is the best long-term solution.
Our approach emphasizes precision, safety, and individualized treatment planning.
Every prosthodontic case begins with a detailed oral examination and advanced dental radiographs. Imaging allows us to evaluate tooth vitality, root integrity, and surrounding bone health before recommending restorative treatment.
Accurate diagnosis is critical to long-term success.
If the tooth is suitable for restoration, the affected area is carefully prepared under anesthesia. In cases involving pulp exposure, vital pulp therapy may be performed to preserve the tooth.
The tooth is shaped to support a custom crown or restoration that fits securely and comfortably.
Prosthodontic crowns are typically fabricated from durable materials designed to withstand normal chewing forces. Once prepared, the crown is securely bonded to restore strength, structure, and function.
Our team ensures proper alignment and bite balance before completing the procedure.
Most pets recover quickly following prosthodontic treatment. We provide detailed home care instructions and schedule follow-up evaluations to monitor healing and restoration integrity.
