Equine Dentistry is a science and an art. Advances in the practice are constantly being made, my philosophy is to use the latest advances combined with traditional practice’s to provide the best possible result for each horse I treat.

As long as a horse is treated with care and consideration, floated and balanced correctly on a yearly basis sedation is rarely required, I tend to use hand tools for the majority of this work. Cases which may require more intensive correction such as horses that have not had the benefit of regular dental treatment for a long period, or have serious malocclusions such as parrot mouth or missing teeth may require more frequent work or the use of power tools. In these cases a vet will be needed to administer sedation.  Most commonly once initial treatment and the balance of the horse’s mouth is restored maintenance treatment can commence.

Each horse is an individual with small variances in the natural balance of their mouths. I aim to maintain the best possible balance for each horse taking into account these variances.
