Clinic Overview

Open Wide Equine Dentistry (also referred to as Sally Kingsley Vet Equine Dentistry) is a dedicated equine dentistry practice established in 2017, described on its website as an RCVS Recognised Advanced practice in Equine Dentistry. The clinic appears set up for both routine and complex dental cases, with services and recent reviews frequently referencing tooth extractions (including fractured cheek teeth) and careful case-by-case decision-making.

Across the latest reviews available, owners repeatedly mention:

  • Clear explanations during procedures (talking through findings, options, and aftercare).
  • Practical handling of difficult or sensitive horses, including adjusting sedation and taking time with nervous animals.
  • Follow-up support after extractions, when owners needed extra guidance.
  • Not pushing unnecessary work, with one review explicitly noting no sense of “fee building.”

Services

Based on the clinic website summary and recent client reviews, services mentioned include:

  • Sedated routine dentistry
  • Tooth extractions, including:
    • Wolf tooth extractions
    • Cheek tooth extraction (oral and MITSE surgical techniques stated on the website)
    • Extractions for fractured cheek teeth (described in a recent review)
  • Diastema assessment and treatment
  • Restorations / fillings / endodontics
  • Periodontal disease treatment
  • Digital radiography / X‑rays
  • Sinus surgery
  • Fracture repair

Emergency care: the website states out-of-hours emergency care is available via an emergency contact number.

People

  • James (role not stated in the inputs): mentioned repeatedly in reviews for talking owners through extraction plans and options, and for being available for follow-up support after treatment.

  • Diego (role not stated): described as “fantastic” with a pony, giving age-specific advice and explaining recommendations.
  • Team/staff (not individually named): reviewers describe staff being ready on time, taking time to explain procedures (including use of power tools), and providing hands-on practical help (including assisting with getting a horse back onto the box after treatment).
