Cat Dental Care · Chantilly, VA
Cats are instinctively wired to hide pain. By the time your cat is obviously uncomfortable, dental disease has often been progressing quietly for months or years. At Nova Pets Health Center in Chantilly, we perform professional cat dental cleanings, digital X-rays, extractions, and oral surgery under full general anesthesia. We handle cases that other practices refer out.
What our clients say about cat dental care at Nova Pets.
“After visiting another veterinarian who was unable to perform my cat's dental extractions, I brought him to Dr. Masood. From the very beginning, Dr. Masood was confident, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He did an excellent job with my cat's tooth extractions, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care he provided. Dr. Masood and his entire team are truly exceptional — kind, professional, and compassionate. They made a stressful situation so much easier, and I felt confident that my cat was in the best hands. I highly recommend Dr. Masood to anyone looking for outstanding veterinary dental care.”
Understanding feline dental disease
Dogs will sometimes let you know something hurts. Cats almost never do. They continue eating through significant oral pain because showing weakness is not in their nature. By the time you notice something is wrong, the disease is usually well established.
This is why routine dental exams and professional cleanings matter so much for cats. A visual check at home tells you almost nothing — the disease lives below the gumline, in the roots, and in places only digital X-rays can see.
The good news: caught and treated properly, most feline dental disease is very manageable. Many owners are surprised by how much better their cat does after a procedure — more comfortable, more playful, eating better — because a chronic source of pain has finally been addressed.
Signs worth paying attention to
Most cats show no obvious signs
The absence of symptoms does not mean a healthy mouth. Annual dental exams are the only reliable way to know what's actually happening.
Our services
We don't refer out for routine feline dental work or straightforward oral surgery. Dr. Masood performs cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery here in Chantilly — with full anesthesia and monitoring on every procedure.
Feline-specific conditions we treat
What we handle
Cat dentistry — particularly complex extractions, multi-tooth procedures, and conditions like stomatitis — requires experience, patience, and a willingness to take on cases that take time. Not every practice is set up for it.
At Nova Pets, Dr. Masood has been performing feline dental procedures for over 35 years. We regularly see cats whose owners were told elsewhere that the procedure couldn't be done or needed to go to a specialist. In many of those cases, we handle it right here.
If you've been told your cat needs dental work and you're not sure where to turn — call us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can handle it or whether a specialist truly is the right call.

Why Nova Pets
