Choose what you've noticed in your pet — and find out what it could mean and what to do next.
Bad breath
Tartar
Red or bleeding gums
Broken tooth
Loose or lost tooth
Temporary teeth haven't fallen out
Darkened tooth
Facial or under-eye swelling
Blood from the mouth or in saliva
Changes while eating
Pet rubs the face or avoids touch
Cat grooms less
Dogs and cats can keep eating even with diseased teeth and chronic dental pain. So a preserved appetite does not always mean there is no problem.
Areas of treatment
COHAT
COHAT is a comprehensive oral assessment under anaesthesia that includes oral cavity sanitation, periodontal examination, full-mouth dental radiography and evaluation of every tooth.
More about COHAT →Dental Radiography

Full clinical cases
I explain in detail what was found, why that approach was chosen, and how treatment progressed.
Unerupted canine tooth: only 0.3 mm of bone
During a COHAT, an unerupted permanent canine tooth was found within the mandible of a dog. At its thinnest point, only about 0.3 mm of bone remained, requiring an especially controlled piezosurgical technique for extraction.
View case
Three fractured canine teeth: two teeth saved
A young cat fractured three canine teeth after a fall: one root was extracted, and two teeth were saved with endodontic treatment and crown restoration.
View case
Zirconia Crown on a Basenji's Canine Tooth
After a complicated fracture and endodontic treatment, the dog damaged the crown restoration again. A custom zirconia crown was made to protect the remaining canine tooth structure.

GTR + PRF: saving a cat's canine tooth
During COHAT, a 5-year-old cat was found to have periodontitis, tooth resorption, and differing prognoses for its two canine teeth. For the upper canine tooth with a localized bone defect, regenerative GTR + PRF treatment was used.

Ointments, gels, sprays or antibiotics do not remove the cause of most dental diseases and may only temporarily reduce some signs. The treatment approach is chosen after full diagnostics.

Treatment fees
At an in-person or online consultation we can outline a provisional plan and approximate estimate. The final scope of treatment and exact fee are determined after full diagnostics under anaesthesia and dental radiography.
- Consultation1 250 ₴
- COHAT protocol7 500 ₴ up to 20 kg9 700 ₴ over 20 kg
- Inhalational anaesthesia with monitoring4 500–5 500 ₴
Additional procedures are discussed in advance at the consultation. The final treatment plan and exact fee are set after full diagnostics and dental radiography.
Safety
Anaesthesia without unnecessary fear
I understand that anaesthesia is what worries owners most before dental treatment. So it matters not simply to say that “everything will be fine”, but to explain how we care for your pet’s safety and comfort.
- Veterinary anaesthetistContinuously monitors the patient’s condition.
- Continuous monitoringBreathing, heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and oxygen saturation.
- Inhalational anaesthesiaAn individually chosen protocol with airway control.
- Local dental blocksExtra pain relief during treatment and at the start of recovery.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers for dog and cat owners — on symptoms, diagnostics, anaesthesia, fees and how to get in touch.
If you've noticed bad breath, tartar, bleeding gums, pain while eating, drooling, loose teeth, a change in tooth colour, swelling or facial trauma — it's best not to put off an examination. I also recommend bringing your pet to a dentist if you suspect a bite problem in a puppy or kitten, or simply for a routine check-up, even when there are no obvious complaints.
Read more →A vet dentist (veterinary dentist) is a vet who focuses on the teeth and mouth of dogs and cats. At a general appointment the vet examines the whole animal; a veterinary dentist assesses every tooth, the gums and the bone around the roots — probing periodontal pockets and taking dental X-rays under anaesthesia. Treatment is dental too: professional cleaning within COHAT, extractions, root canal treatment, restorations, orthodontics and oral surgery. Since 2022 I have worked only in dog and cat dentistry, so if your vet suggests seeing a dentist, this is exactly that kind of appointment.
Read more →Comprehensive dental diagnostics and treatment require controlled general anaesthesia with airway protection, monitoring and appropriate pain management. During the procedure we need to examine every tooth carefully, take a full set of dental X-rays, assess the gums, and carry out treatment or extractions. To do this properly and without undue stress for the animal, anaesthesia is needed. I use inhalational anaesthesia with monitoring, and every procedure is carried out with a veterinary anaesthetist present.
Read more →I understand why owners would prefer a simpler option, but there's an important point: without anaesthesia you can only remove what is visible on the surface. Subgingival deposits, the state of the gums and roots, and hidden problems remain unseen. That's why proper oral cavity sanitation and diagnostics are done under anaesthesia — this provides controlled conditions for comprehensive diagnostics and treatment.
Read more →Because far from everything is visible from the outside. A great many dental problems hide under the gumline: root lesions, bone loss, tooth resorption in cats, the after-effects of trauma and other changes. Full-mouth dental radiographs help us see the full picture and make the right decision — what can be saved, and what already needs treatment or extraction.
Read more →The final cost depends on exactly how much treatment your pet needs. After a consultation we can discuss a provisional plan, but an accurate quote is formed only after full clinical diagnostics and dental radiographs, once it's clear what actually needs doing. For orientation: examination and consultation — 1 250 ₴; COHAT: up to 20 kg — 7 500 ₴, over 20 kg — 9 700 ₴; inhalational anaesthesia — 4 500–5 500 ₴ (separate from COHAT). In other words, we don't guess — we work from the real picture in the mouth.
Read more →In most cases recovery is uneventful. After waking, it's important to let your pet rest and follow advice on food and home care. If extractions or other procedures were done, I explain in detail how to manage the first days and what to watch for. The recovery plan always depends on the scope of treatment, so the advice will be tailored to your case.
