What our clients say about dental care at Nova Pets.

★★★★★

“On the advice of a good friend, we brought Coco to Nova Pets... on the day of her surgery my schedule changed and I wouldn't be available to pick her up before closing. They moved her surgery up, got the work done, and had her ready to go in 4 hours.”

★★★★★

“We took our Golden Retriever to Dr. Masood after discovering a mass on his lower gum line. After tests revealed it was oral cancer, Dr. Masood was quick to give us options on what could be done. Cruiser had successful surgery and is now cancer free. Dr. Masood did an excellent job and met all of our expectations — his recovery was swift. I would highly recommend Dr. Masood and Nova Pets Health Center!”

Our approach

Advanced oral surgery with comprehensive anesthesia and pain management.

Comprehensive dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and monitoring. Regional dental nerve blocks and multimodal pain management are used when appropriate to improve comfort and can reduce the depth of general anesthesia required.

Dental disease is painful and progressive, and advanced periodontal disease can contribute to inflammation beyond the mouth. Treating oral infection and discomfort is an important part of overall health and quality of life.

The good news: caught early, dental disease is highly treatable. A professional cleaning, diagnostic X-rays, and an honest assessment of what's happening below the gumline can change the trajectory of your dog's long-term health.

Signs your dog may have dental disease

  • Bad breath that doesn't improve
  • Yellow or brown buildup on teeth
  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Difficulty chewing or dropping food
  • Pawing at the mouth or face
  • Loose or missing teeth
  • Swelling around the jaw or face
  • Changes in appetite or reluctance to eat

Most dogs don't show obvious signs

Dogs can hide oral pain. The absence of obvious symptoms does not rule out dental disease. A professional exam and dental X-rays provide the most complete assessment of what is happening above and below the gumline.

Our services

Professional cleanings to complex oral surgery — all in Chantilly.

Dr. Masood performs professional cleanings, extractions, and oral surgery in Chantilly with general anesthesia and monitoring for comprehensive dental procedures and extensive experience managing routine and complex cases.

Professional dental cleaning
Under general anesthesia, we clean above and below the gumline — removing plaque and tartar from the areas that cause disease. Dental X-rays are used to assess roots and supporting bone and to guide treatment decisions that cannot be made from a visual exam alone. Anesthesia-free cleanings are not used as a substitute for comprehensive dental treatment because they cannot adequately assess or treat disease below the gumline.
Tooth extractions
When a tooth is infected, fractured, or too damaged to save, extraction is the right call — and we handle it in-house. Dogs do remarkably well without compromised teeth. Most owners report their dog is more comfortable and eating better after an extraction, because the source of chronic pain has been removed.
Oral surgery
Dr. Masood performs oral surgery including mass and tumor removal, treatment of oral abscesses, and complex surgical extractions. If your dog has been diagnosed with an oral mass or a condition requiring surgical intervention, we handle that here.
Pre-anesthetic bloodwork
Not required, but recommended — and we'll tell you honestly when we think it matters. Bloodwork provides important information about organ function before anesthesia, especially in older dogs or those with known health conditions. If during the exam we identify anything that warrants medication before the procedure, we'll prescribe what's needed so your dog is in the best possible condition going in.
Post-op care
Your dog goes home with everything they need — full pain management, medications as needed, and clear aftercare instructions. We don't send you home guessing.

On pricing

We provide a clear treatment estimate and discuss recommended care before the procedure. When the exam or dental X-rays reveal additional needs, we explain the findings and options before moving forward whenever circumstances allow.

What to expect

What a dental visit at Nova Pets
actually looks like.

1
Dental exam
Dr. Masood examines your dog's mouth, teeth, and gumline. We'll tell you what we see, what we recommend, and what it will cost — before anything happens. If pre-procedure medications or bloodwork are recommended, we'll address that at this stage.
2
Pre-procedure preparation
We review your dog's health history and discuss anesthesia. The morning of the procedure, your dog comes in fasted per our pre-op instructions.
3
General anesthesia & monitoring
We use full general anesthesia for all dental procedures. Your dog is continuously monitored throughout — vitals, oxygen, and anesthetic depth — so our team can respond to anything that changes in real time.
4
Cleaning, X-rays, and treatment
We clean thoroughly above and below the gumline, take digital X-rays to assess root and bone health, and perform any extractions or surgical procedures indicated.
5
Recovery & discharge
Your dog recovers in our facility with our team watching closely. You'll pick them up with a full discharge summary, all medications needed, and clear instructions on what to watch for.
