Dentistry

Dr Tony Caiafa is our veterinary practioner in dentistry. He is one of very few veterinarians in the world who is also a qualified human dentist. His experience in veterinary dentistry spans well over 20 years. He owned and worked in a small animal practice in Victoria after graduating and developed an enthusiasm for orthopaedic surgery and veterinary dentistry.

Dr Caiafa happily accepts dental cases on a referral basis from primary care veterinarians. He is also happy to discuss possible referral cases with the primary care veterinarian or the pet’s owner.

Dr Caiafa started working at North Coast Veterinary Specialists(NCVS) in late 2009 and has steadily built up a reputation with both clients and referring veterinarians as a respected member of the NCVS team.

With skills in both human and veterinary dentistry, Dr Caiafa is always up to date with the latest treatments for premium oral care for pets.

To practice high quality veterinary dentistry, Dr Caiafa has purchased state-of-the-art equipment including portable dental X-ray machine and digital oral radiography equipment. He also has equipment for placing dental implants for pets.

The staff were extremely compassionate tonight when we brought our cat to them in a very bad way. Sadly we had to say goodbye to our precious girl. They were amazing and went above and beyond to support us in every way possible.

Had an emergency this morning with a suspected snake bite to my 8yo Ginger cat... the staff at North Coast Veterinary Clinic were marvellous....Definitely recommend anyone in a similar situation or emergency to take your fur baby to North Coast Veterinary Specialist and Referral Centre.

I can’t thank Dr Naomi enough for her dedication and professionalism when it came to saving my girl all the while still having such a humble attitude which made the process that bit easier. I would also like to thank the nurses behind the scenes...thanks to this team, can’t recommend them enough.

Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Our Daschund has had issues with his neck and back for the past 6 weeks, we were referred to them by a friend, got our referral by our local vet. Friendly professional staff and service !!!! A big thank you to Dr Richard for explaining everything to us in layman’s terms and making us feel relaxed and comfortable.
