Advanced Equine Dentistry| Iron Horse Equine – Elizabeth, CO
Keep Your Horse Comfortable, Eating Well, and Performing at Their Best
Dental pain is one of the most common—and often overlooked—causes of weight loss, behavior changes, and performance issues in horses.
At Iron Horse Equine, we provide advanced dental diagnostics and treatment to identify problems early and restore comfort and function.
Signs Your Horse May Need More Than a Routine Float
Many dental issues are subtle. You may notice:
-
Dropping feed or slow chewing
-
Weight loss or difficulty maintaining condition
-
Resistance to the bit or head tossing
-
Foul odor from the mouth
-
One-sided nasal discharge
-
Changes in performance or attitude
If you’re seeing any of these, a more detailed dental evaluation may be recommended.
Advanced Dental Diagnostics & Treatment
We offer tools and procedures that go beyond routine exams, including:
-
Dental oroscopy (detailed internal visualization)
-
Oral radiographs (dental X-rays)
-
Tooth extractions (simple and complex)
-
Periodontal and diastema treatment
-
EOTRH monitoring and care

Why Advanced Dentistry Matters
Many dental conditions develop below the gumline and can’t be seen on a standard exam. Early diagnosis helps improve comfort, guide treatment decisions, and prevent more serious complications over time.
Focused Expertise You Can Trust
Advanced dentistry is a core focus at Iron Horse Equine. Dr. Lyndsy Gieche has pursued additional training and experience in equine dental care, allowing us to offer a higher level of diagnostics and treatment for both routine and complex cases.
What to Expect
Advanced dental procedures are performed under sedation to allow a thorough, low-stress evaluation. Diagnostics like oroscopy or radiographs may be used to fully assess each tooth.
When treatment is needed, many procedures can be completed during the same visit. Afterward, we’ll review findings with you and provide clear next steps and aftercare.
