The Equine Dental Clinic Ltd is Europe's first veterinary practice dedicated to general, advanced and referral equine dentistry. Chris Pearce MRCVS founded the practice in 2012 to offer high-quality services in equine dentistry to horse owners, vets and dental technicians.

Services range from routine examinations and rasping to advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques in standing horses, cavity restorations and root canal therapy.

Chris is joined by Nicole du Toit MRCVS, another officially recognised Specialist in Equine Dentistry, and by Nicky Brooks MRCVS an experienced dental vet in training to become a specialist. We are the only veterinary practice in the world to be 100% dedicated to equine dentistry and to have 2 Board Certified Specialist dental vets - if your horse, pony or donkey has a dental problem, chances are we are going to be able to help.

Referrals from vets and equine dental technicians welcome.
