Many people are surprised to hear that the specialty of veterinary dentistry and oral surgery exists; they've simply never considered that pets need dental care or oral surgery. In many ways, the field is similar to human dentistry and oral surgery, but there are also some important differences.
A pet's mouth does important work; the most obvious job is picking up food, chewing, and swallowing. Other jobs that one might not think of as readily are defense, grooming, breathing and cooling. Performance or service animals may have to use their mouths to do very specific tasks like retrieving and apprehending.
These jobs may not be done well if the mouth is painful or doesn't function properly. Further, this pain or dysfunction can go on to affect a pet's overall well-being. Most people know how uncomfortable a toothache can be, and are quick to go to their dentist for relief. Our pets can't tell us when something is wrong, but even if they could, they likely wouldn't , since animals tend to hide that something is wrong to the best of their ability. This is why a proactive approach to a pet's oral care needs is warranted.

Location & Areas We Serve
History
Dr. Steve Holmstrom first opened the doors to Animal Dental Clinic in 2000. Generally considered to be one of the founders of the specialty, Dr. Holmstrom brought advanced veterinary dentistry and oral surgery to the Peninsula area and beyond. When Dr. Holmstrom decided in 2012 to retire and limit his activity to helping exotic animals with dental problems he left Animal Dental Clinic in the capable hands of Dr. Cristine Mincheff, who had been his resident. Most recently, in 2016, Drs. Nicodin and Amy Farcas have taken over the responsibilities of ownership of the practice, while Dr. Mincheff has remained as a vital part of our team.
Animal Dental Clinic has always provided the highest level of patient care and advanced dental and oral surgical procedures. In addition, we also focus on ensuring excellent service to both pet owners and veterinarians.
We are a team that works well together, supports each other, and enjoys what we do.
