stress-free dental services for exotic pets

Fauna provides safe, stress-free, sedated oral exams for your unique companion. Anesthesia allows our veterinary surgeons to thoroughly inspect deep, hidden areas of the mouth without causing anxiety or discomfort to your exotic pet.

To see what is happening beneath the gumline, Fauna utilizes advanced digital dental X-rays. This essential diagnostic tool helps identify tooth root infections, jaw issues, and hidden decay before they cause your pet chronic pain.

Jaw infections in exotic pets require swift, advanced intervention. We specialize in treating these complex abscesses, combining thorough surgical cleaning with targeted antibiotic therapies to restore your pet’s long-term health and comfort.

When your pet has a broken or infected tooth, we perform gentle extractions to remove the source of discomfort. Our focus is on seamless pain management, helping your pet heal quickly and return to their happy routine.

TEETH FILLING FOR RABBITS, GUINEA PIGS, AND CHINCHILLAS

Herbivores have continuously growing teeth that require precise care. Fauna provides expert teeth filing to correct painful overgrowths, ensuring your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla can chew comfortably and enjoy a healthy diet.
PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING FOR FERRETS, REPTILES, AND MAMMALS

Our team provides specialized dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar from ferrets, reptiles, and small mammals. We gently scale away harmful buildup, preventing painful gum disease and keeping mouths healthy.
MOLAR TRIMS:
Continuously growing cheek teeth can develop razor-sharp spikes that cut into sensitive tissue. Our veterinarians safely level these painful molar spurs, protecting your rabbit or guinea pig from oral injury and tongue lacerations.
BEAK TRIMS:
Birds rely on healthy beaks to eat and groom. We provide gentle, precise beak trims to correct abnormal overgrowths or fractures, restoring natural function so your feathered friend can eat comfortably.
HEAD/SKULL CT:
or complex dental cases, Fauna offers high-definition head and skull CT scans. This cutting-edge technology gives our veterinary team a detailed 3D look at intricate tooth roots and jaw structures, providing unmatched oral diagnostic precision in Orange County.

faq’s

Unlike dogs, exotic pets hide pain incredibly well. Look for subtle warning signs like dropping food, excessive drooling, a preference for softer treats, nasal discharge, or sudden weight loss. If you notice any changes, our Lake Forest team can perform a thorough evaluation.em description
At Fauna, safety is our absolute priority. We design individualized, weight-specific anesthetic protocols and utilize advanced monitoring systems. Your pet will wake up safely in our premium Casco Pet temperature-controlled kennels for a smooth, cozy recovery.
A rabbit’s mouth is highly sensitive and incredibly small. Attempting to file teeth while they are awake can cause extreme stress, and a sudden movement could lead to severe tissue injury. Sedation ensures the procedure is fast, precise, and completely pain-free.
Yes! Dental pain can quickly cause exotic pets to stop eating, which can lead to life-threatening digestive issues. Fauna prioritizes same-day evaluations for urgent dental and oral issues so your pet receives immediate, compassionate relief when they need it most.
