Welcome to the second Veterinary Dentistry Specialists location, VDS Chadds Ford.
When your pet requires professional dental and oral care, it’s important to have a specialist you can trust. At Veterinary Dentistry Specialists (VDS), we’ve made it our mission to be just that – your pet’s oral health expert. We are the only practices entirely dedicated to dentistry and oral surgery for pets and where full-time board-certified veterinary dentists and full-time board-certified veterinary anesthesiologists are on staff to ensure the best care and outcomes.
At the helm of VDS Chadds Ford, are two well-respected specialists, veterinary dentist John Lewis, VMD, FAVD, DAVDC and veterinary anesthesiologist S. Bryce Dooley, DVM, MS, DACVAA.
Our first location is based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, founded and owned by board-certified veterinary dentistry specialist, Carlos Rice, DVM, DAVDC.
At VDS, advanced services are available for the care of orofacial conditions and diseases that affect the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face. These services cover tooth restoration, periodontal surgery, oral oncologic surgery, jaw fractures, salivary gland diseases, endodontics, orthodontics, palate surgery, and much more.
It’s important to know that, when appropriately administered by a highly trained veterinary expert, anesthesia confers very little risk for cats and dogs. That’s why we have a full-time, board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist who is involved in every case we undertake.
In partnership with primary care veterinarians and other veterinary specialists across the region, VDS accepts referred patients Monday – Thursday, 7:30 am – 7:00 pm. For more information or to make an appointment, call 484-775-0557 or email [email protected].
