What we do.
Equine Veterinary Dentist provides a modern dedicated approach to equine dentistry. The only RCVS Recognised Advanced practitioner in Equine Dentistry in the North East - established in 2017.
​
James Roxburgh MRCVS BVM&S Cert AVP(ED) is a qualified vet providing both clinic and on yard mobile dental services for horses in the North of England and the Scottish Borders.
​
Equine Veterinary Dentist provides a complete dental service from routine procedures including rasping, balancing of teeth and wolf tooth extraction, through to advance referral procedures. A large proportion of our work is based around referral dentistry - performing advanced and complex dental techniques. We accept referrals for dentistry from the North of England and Scotland. We have a permanent clinic located in Scorton, North Yorkshire as well as pop up clinics throughout the north east and Yorkshire.
​
To provide a gold standard of dental services we have invested in state of the art equipment, technology, training and the latest techniques. We carry out some of the most advanced equine dental procedures available to horses in the UK.
​
We encourage horses to have a small sedative to provide a relaxed, safe and modern dental examination. The horses’ head is then rested on a padded headstand to facilitate a highly detailed oral examination with any corrective treatments carried out quickly and efficiently, minimizing stress for the owner, horse and vet. After every visit each client will recieve an electronic dental record chart.

About James.
James Roxburgh MRCVS BVM&S CertAVP(ED) pgSVS
Since a young age I have always had a real interest in dentistry and this developed throughout my university career, winning the Joe Frazer equine soft tissue award at the Royal (Dick) Veterinary College. To date I have spent 10 years achieving training and expertise to become a dedicated equine veterinary dentist. Prior to an interest in Veterinary Medicine - I always aspired to be a (human) Dentist.
​
In 2019 I achieved advanced practitioner status in Equine Dentistry, completing my certificate through the University of Liverpool and passing the dental exam with distinction. I am currently the only RCVS Recognised Advanced equine dental practitioner in the whole of the North East.
​
Since graduating I have advanced my dental training, attending multiple equine dental courses from world leading dental specialists. I also completed the advanced dental extraction course in November 2016, including becoming trained in the Minimally Invasive Transbuccal Screw Extraction technique for complex cheek tooth extractions.
​
I see referral cases almost every day, including multiple' pop up' clinics throughout the North East of England and Scotland.
