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-mouth X-rays reveal roots, bone and changes hidden beneath the gumline.
How dental radiography works →Periodontology & Regenerative Therapy
Oral cavity sanitation, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease — from gingivitis to regenerative therapy where indicated.
More about periodontology →Endodontics & Tooth Preservation
Root canal treatment and vital pulp therapy to preserve traumatised or diseased teeth where clinically indicated.
How root canal treatment works →Dental crowns
After trauma, substantial tooth destruction or endodontic treatment, a tooth may need extra protection. One option can be a custom-made dental crown.
More about dental crowns →Restorative & Preventive Dentistry
Composite restorations, correction of enamel defects, Air Flow hygiene and prevention — tailored to individual needs.
More about restorative dentistry →Orthodontics (bite correction)
Bite assessment, identifying traumatic occlusion and individually tailored orthodontic correction where indicated.
More about orthodontics →Oral Surgery
Complex dental procedures: extractions, soft-tissue work and piezosurgery where indicated.
More about oral surgery →Dental & Jaw Trauma
Fractured and discoloured teeth, jaw injuries — diagnosis, and saving the tooth or extracting it where indicated.
More about dental trauma →Feline Dentistry
Tooth resorption, stomatitis and other feline dental conditions — diagnosed and treated where indicated.

Tooth Extraction
Teeth are extracted only where clinically indicated after examination and dental radiography. My first task is to assess whether a tooth can be safely preserved; if extraction is necessary, I perform it as precisely as possible with local pain control, radiographic checks and careful handling of surrounding tissues.
When a tooth needs extracting →Piezosurgery
Piezosurgery is a modern way to work with bone using controlled ultrasonic micro-oscillations. It enables more precise complex dental procedures, helps protect adjacent soft tissue and minimises unnecessary tissue trauma.
More about piezosurgery →Anaesthesia in Veterinary Dentistry
Inhalational anaesthesia with monitoring provides controlled conditions for comprehensive dental diagnostics and treatment.
Anaesthesia safety →Jaw Fractures
A broken jaw in a cat or dog needs treatment, but the first priority is to assess and stabilise the animal’s general condition: breathing, bleeding, chest and head injuries. Once the patient is stable, I assess the fracture under anaesthesia with dental radiography and fix the fragments so that the teeth meet correctly again — the bite, or occlusion. That is what decides whether the animal can eat comfortably afterwards.
More about jaw fractures →Oral Tumours
Any mass in a dog’s or cat’s mouth should be checked by a vet, even if it is small and not painful. A benign epulis and a malignant tumour such as melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma can look very similar, so the diagnosis is made by biopsy with histopathology. The extent of surgery depends on that result and on how far the mass involves the bone.
