Bonded Sealants

Bonded sealants are an excellent way of repairing uncomplicated crown fractures. An uncomplicated crown fracture is a chip or defect in the enamel and possibly the dentin of the tooth, however the pulp chamber of the tooth is still protected. The fracture causes pain and discomfort for your pet even though they rarely show clinical signs. Pets can go back to feeling great, eating, drinking, and playing normally after a bonded sealant is performed.

This is an example of bone loss from periodontal disease. Doing special therapy can help the bone grow back in and return to normal.

Periodontal Therapy

This procedure is performed when there is bone loss from severe dental disease. Periodontal therapy helps to treat painful, infected areas and allows for tissue regeneration. If there is significant bone loss, a bone graft is placed.

This is an impage of retained baby canines. These need to be extracted once the adult teeth are in place.

Removal of Deciduous (baby) Teeth

It is very important to remove deciduous teeth if they are still in the mouth once the adult teeth come in. The deciduous teeth can cause increased amounts of tartar build-up as well as damage to surrounding structures.

This is an example of a before and after filling. Wear and breakage of the teeth can leave the tooth weakened and more prone to disease. The filling returns the strenth and protection to the tooth

Restorations (fillings)

A restoration corrects a loss of tooth structure caused by tooth decay, injuries, or disease. The tooth structure is replaced by a composite material leaving the tooth looking and feeling as good as new.

Performing restorations restores the tooth strength and ultimately, protects the canal of the tooth where the vein, artery and nerve live.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is performed when there is missing or diseased bone surrounding a healthy tooth. These problems are found when taking dental radiographs along with an oral exam performed by the veterinarian.

$This dog had two root canals and crowns placed. Root canals can be needed for various reasons including damage to the inner canal or fracture exposing the nerve. Once the rooth goes through a root canal, a crown is placed to protect it and allow the pet to return to their normal biting activity.$

Root Canal and Crown

After a root canal is performed, crown placement is the next step. The pet gets a tooth impression, and a dental laboratory makes a custom crown to fit their tooth. These crowns are incredibly strong and allow for normal, and even rough, chewing.

Fractured jaws can occur for many reasons including trauma and dental disease. This was was able to be wired together and healed very well.

Jaw Fracture Repair

Fractured jaws can occur for multiple reasons whether from trauma, disease, or infected teeth. Fractured jaw repairs allow for the jaw to heal properly, regain their jaw strength, and become pain free.

Gingival Hyperplasia

Gingival enlargement is a common disease in dogs. Special techniques are used to remove the excess tissue and prevent bone loss, gingivitis, pocketing, and discomfort. Performing this repair allows for your pet to chew normally and without pain.

Full Mouth Extractions

This is most common in cats with Stomatitis. Removing the teeth is currently the best treatment. Full mouth extractions are sometimes needed in pets with severe disease. Removing the teeth allows for healing and removal of pain and infection.

As you can see in the top picture, the third (outermost) incisors were rubbing agains the bottom canines causing them pain and to weaken. These teeth were removed and fillings were placed over the damaged canines in order to remove pain and allow them to return to their top strenth

Orthodontic Manipulation

Performing orthodontic extractions allows for pets to bite down without causing trauma to surrounding tissues and teeth.

If there is severe wear, or attrition, to surrounding teeth, restorations can also be performed as seen in the canines in the after.

"Dr Laura has THE BEST ‘bedside manner’ ever. Kaia and I have visited Dr Laura from day one. 6 1/2 years later, I would not see anyone else. She is so caring and she LOVES her patients!!!"
-Jenny Dassen, JC, OR

This is Gracie, Palomas best friend. She is a whippet

"I couldn’t recommend Dr. Hardy and her team more. From check in to check out they have all reassured me, answered all questions, helped my baby and made it a quick and easy experience. I haven’t and won’t trust another vet as much as I trust Dr.Hardy. Thank you all for your help, you are all so amazing!"
-A. White, Eugene OR

In addition to overall excellent care, Dr. Laura is a skilled veterinary dentist. My senior kitty with kidney disease needed a dental, and Dr. Laura answered all my worried questions ahead of time and took the best care of my Smokey during and after the procedure. My Cassie needs a dental now, and there is absolutely no one I trust more to take care of her.
-Nancy, Eugene OR

We have had the privilege of working with Dr. Laura on managing our aging pack's dental cleanings and oral hygiene needs over the last few years, including a highly necessary full mouth extraction for our 18 year old toy poodle. She went above and beyond to ensure he was ready and healthy enough for the procedure. We are overjoyed to say he is thriving in his cozy golden years post surgery - thanks to her careful, diligent, detailed work and follow up care.
-Kelsey, Bend, OR

Laura Is absolutly incredible at what she does with our pets but it must be said that she is equally skilled at soothing the human owner's nervous system! She instills so much confidence, support and deep care during an otherwise stressful process.
We feel lucky to have her on our side and have been thrilled with her advanced thorough work. From her pet dentistry to bedside manner, her mastery and reassuring energy Permeates everything she does.
