I am SO happy and thankful to Dr. Buelow and her team. My 7 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel had 8 teeth left after several yearly dental cleanings and extractions.

I am a veterinarian and am capable of performing oral surgery but I chose to come to ADOS with my sweet old lady Labrador, Trickseigh, because I wanted to do the absolute best for her. Trickseigh has more than…
The folks at ADOS were fantastic! Kim at the front desk replied to all of my calls and emails with a speed I haven’t experienced in a LONG time. Dr. Buelow and her staff were wonderful during my meeting with them. I went to them after learning from my primary vet that our cat needed…

The reasons for performing implants in people include the following: maintaining the position of the remaining teeth, maintaining bone height, improving mastication of food, and cosmetic value.

In a veterinary practice, it is not uncommon to see discolored teeth in our patients. There are many causes of discoloration, including trauma, infection, metabolic disease, or drug-induced. When evaluating discolored teeth, many things should be taken into consideration including the patient’s age, history, overall health, and how long the tooth/teeth have been discolored. All…
