About Us

At Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery of North Texas, we provide top-quality veterinary dental care to pets in our community.

Our staff treats you like family and each pet like our own. We are honored and proud to be a partner in your pet's healthcare team.

As pet owners ourselves, we believe that regular dental care is important to your pet living a longer, healthier, and happier life.

As a full-service veterinary dental and oral surgery office, we offer state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics, an array of advanced care, routine and advanced oral surgical procedures, and many other services to provide your pet with the best possible care for their teeth.

We welcome new patients to our office and look forward to meeting you and your pet.

History of the Hospital

In 2014, Dr. Heidi Lobprise, DVM, DAVDC, opened a dental specialty wing with practice manager Shannon VanTrease within Main Street Veterinary Hospital. As retirement neared, she elected to take on a resident who could continue her legacy of high-quality care in DFW.

In 2017, Dr. Jessica Johnson began her dental residency after ten years of small animal veterinary medicine & surgery experience. In 2022, Dr. Johnson became a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist™. Shortly afterward, the entire dental team moved to the brand new Flower Mound Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center a few miles away. In 2023, Dr. Taylor Cortez and Dr. Geneva Kernaghan became dental residents, bringing over a decade of small animal veterinary medicine & surgery experience.

We are also a teaching facility hosting veterinary students, general practitioners, and dental residents. In 2024, our team determined that we needed more space to continue to offer both high-quality care and to grow our ability to educate the veterinarian community about veterinary dentistry. And in the fall of 2024, we are moving to a facility exclusively devoted to veterinary dentistry & oral surgery. In 2025, we will open the Dental Teaching Facility, where we will provide wet labs to veterinarians, dentistry residents, and, at a future date, veterinary technicians.

After Hours Pet Emergencies

Important Message for our Referring Veterinarians and Pet Owners:

At VDOSNT, we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for our hospitalized patients. However, we understand that there may be times when we cannot accommodate a procedure immediately. Occasionally, we receive multiple emergency transfers, which can lead to delays in finding or creating a surgery slot for these urgent cases. In light of this, we kindly ask our clients to call ahead before visiting the clinic. We also encourage referring veterinarians to discuss the case with us prior to sending patients our way. We recognize that it can be stressful for both clients and patients to arrive at our clinic only to find that there isn’t a surgery slot or emergency appointment available right away. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we strive to provide the best care for all our patients.

Outside our business hours, we recommend you contact the following emergency animal hospital in the Flower Mound, TX area.
