Dental care of dogs and cats is crucial to their quality of life. Dental disease is much more than just a problem in the mouth. It can lead to more serious health conditions including heart, lung and kidney disease. Just as with humans, dental health is vital for the general health of your pet.

Fracture Repair & Restoration

Repair of Uncomplicated Crown Fractures
Repair Enamel Defect or Hypocalcification
Orthodontics (Bite Correction)
Malformations and misalignment of your pet’s teeth can cause unnatural wear, damage, discomfort and difficulty eating. At NVS, we offer complete orthodontic services to help correct conditions like rostral crossbite, malocclusions, mesioverted (lanced) canines, and based-narrow mandibular canines.
Maisel Chain Placement (orthodontic bands)
Acrylic Incline Plane (a temporary fabrication that redirects a tooth or teeth to proper position)
Telescopic Incline Plane This device is used to move lingually displaced mandibular canine teeth into their normal anatomic position. Left untreated, lingually (towards the tongue) displaced teeth can traumatize the hard palate and cause unnecessary oral pain and suffering, in addition to oronasal fistulas.
Interceptive Orthodontics (preemptive tooth extraction to prevent occlusions and other bite issues)
Maxillary Expansion Device and Arch Bar These devices are fabricated to move incisors into their normal anatomic position. These devices are used to treat rostral crossbites.
Prosthodontics (Crowns, Root Canals)
Chronic cage-chewers, victims of tooth trauma and patients who have received endodontic treatment may be in need of skilled prosthodontics. MVS offers full and 3/4 crown coverage in metal or ceramic (tooth colored).
Diagnostic Imaging
Intraoral dental radiography is essential for a complete dental examination. 30% of dogs and 40% of cats have pathology that only radiography can diagnose. Of those cases that have diagnosed pathology, approximately 50% of dogs and cats have additional pathology that requires treatment.
