welcome to veterinary dental specialists
Did you know that your pet’s oral health has an impact on the quality of life your pet experiences as well as how long they live? Their oral health not only includes an annual cleaning. More than 80% of dogs and 50% of cats develop periodontal disease, and many pets do not show the pain they suffer from infection and other dental issues.
Hours of Clinical Operation:
Monday – Thursday
8 am – 5 pm

I've had both my girls to see Dr. Honzelka for cleaning/tooth extractions/broken root removals. They did fabulously well in their care.

I am very impressed and grateful to everyone there. My pup was treated with care and kindness. When he arrived home he was very comfortable and with zero pain. It wasn't until the next day that I was able to see his teeth, pearly white!!!
And no pain at the sight where the filling was done.
Thank you to the doctor and everyone there. I will be bringing my other two in the beginning of the new year. Thank you because I was so anxious georgie had 2 tplo surgeries prior to this and and you guys were the best. Highly recommend you to every anxious parent. There pups will be in good hands.

All of the staff at Veterinary Dental Specialist were kind and patient with us and our pups. Whenever we had a question they would answer it promptly. We felt comfortable with Dr. Honzelka the minute he walked in the exam room. He sat on the floor to make our dog feel comfortable too. They explained the procedures and called us during the procedure to give us our options. They are 100% trustworthy!

We have a Chihuahua who is almost 16 years old with stage two kidney disease. He was in for a periodontal work up and had some extractions as well as biopsies done. They took great care of him and clearly love animals. Communication was clear and frequent throughout the day. We would have no problem bringing our dog back.

I was blown away with how caring and helpful the staff was! They did an excellent job caring for my dog for her first and very overdue dental visit. My total ended up being on the low end of the estimate, and I think that's thanks to their efficient and skillful work while she was under the anesthesia. When I picked her up, she seemed very comfortably sedated but not so extremely groggy, like with past surgeries. I'm beyond impressed with Dr. Honzelka and his whole team! I would highly recommend!

I knew Maya was in good hand the moment I dropped her off. They were caring and attentive and made sure all my questions were answered. They kept me well informed of her progress and I was glad I chose them for Maya’s dental procedure.

Steven R. Honzelka, DVM, DAVDC
Dr. Honzelka is a 1999 graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation he entered small animal practice. Although he enjoyed general practice, in 2006, he was “bitten by the dentistry bug”. He started attending as much dental CE and labs as possible. A few years later, Dr. Honzelka made the tough decision to leave general practice and enter a residency program in Dentistry and Oral Surgery. He became a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist™ in 2015.
