Services
- •Routine equine dental care: the practice offers mobile dental examinations and rasping/floating, along with routine dental treatment including wolf tooth extractions.
- •Advanced and referral dentistry: clinic-based advanced equine dentistry is offered, and reviews continue to mention horses being seen on referral for extractions and other more complex dental problems.
- •Tooth extractions: this is one of the most commonly mentioned reasons for visiting, with reviews describing straightforward extractions as well as more difficult cases such as fractured cheek teeth and removal of two teeth in one procedure.
- •Sedation-supported treatment: reviews mention careful use of sedation, including one owner who said only a very small amount was needed to keep their pony relaxed and unstressed.
- •Case handling and aftercare: owners frequently mention treatment plans being explained clearly during the procedure, monitoring throughout treatment, and follow-up support being available afterwards.
Pricing
A very limited amount of published pricing suggests the clinic may sit around average, but this is based on very few comparable services. Reviews do, however, reflect good perceived value in the care given, with one owner specifically praising the horse-first approach and saying there was no sense of unnecessary work or fee-building.
