Expert Dental Care, Backed by Advanced Training

Dr. Kelley is actively pursuing Veterinary Dental Practitioner certification to bring even deeper expertise to your pet’s oral health and comfort.

This certification is a specialized program for licensed veterinarians who want to go beyond the basics. It focuses on diagnosing and treating dental disease comprehensively—not just cleanings, but everything from advanced extractions to pain management and client education.

The coursework is rigorous and designed to elevate the standard of care for dogs and cats with oral health issues. It blends medical training with a deep understanding of the subtle signs of pain that many pets live with for far too long. What Is a Veterinary Dental Practitioner?

Dental disease doesn’t just cause bad breath. It leads to:
  • Chronic pain that pets rarely show outwardly
  • Infections that affect the heart, kidneys, and liver
  • Loss of appetite or reluctance to chew toys, bones, or even food
  • Behavioral changes that are often misunderstood or dismissed
I can’t count how many times a pet has come back after dental treatment and the owner says, “She’s acting like a puppy again,” or “I didn’t realize how uncomfortable he must’ve been until now.”

That transformation is why I’m pursuing this path. Why It Matters to You—and Your Pet

What You Can Expect from Our Dental Care

As I work toward full certification, I’m already integrating what I’ve learned into every dental exam and procedure. Here’s what that means for your pet:

  • Thorough oral exams under anesthesia with dental radiographs (X-rays)
  • Pain-focused treatment plans—because dental surgery shouldn’t hurt
  • Expertise in extractions, oral pathology, and long-term care
  • Support for healing—from pain meds to follow-up guidance at home

I’m not here to sell clean teeth. I’m here to treat pain, restore comfort, and protect your pet’s health.

How Do You Know If Your Pet Is in Dental Pain?

Many pets hide their discomfort, but some signs include:

  • Bad breath
  • Dropping food or chewing only on one side
  • Pawing at the mouth

  • A sudden dislike of touch or petting near the head
  • Behavior changes or withdrawal

  • Bad breath

If your pet is showing any of these signs—or even if they aren’t but haven’t had a full dental workup in over a year—please reach out. A dental consult could change their life.
