Dentistry
Just like in humans, pets can develop a multitude of dental problems which may cause pain, interfere with normal function such as feeding and swallowing, cause chronic illness with symptoms such as poor appetite, weight loss and infections elsewhere in the body. These diseases may be heralded by a change in the pet’s behavior, or simply, by “bad breath”.
As a veterinarian focused on veterinary dentistry Dr. Modrcin can offer many advanced treatments to relieve the pet’s discomfort and restore a healthy mouth. These techniques include:
Endodontics: Pulp exposure treatment of fractured teeth/pulpitis, root canals, crown reductions and tooth abscesses.
Periodontics: Treatment of periodontal disease, teeth scaling and polishing, root planing, mucogingival surgery and guided tissue and bone regeneration.
Orthodontics: Correction of common malocclusions, orthodontic appliances, bite evaluations, and genetic counseling.
Restorations: Cast metal crowns, fillings, esthetic bonding, bridges and implants.
Dental Radiology: Permanent tooth assessment for puppies, dental disease, oral tumors.
Oral Surgery: Difficult extractions, jaw fractures, palate defects, oronasal disease, oral tumors and teeth avulsions.
Oral Diseases: Oral manifestations of systemic disease, gingivostomatitis, feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions and oral autoimmune disorders.
