Background & specialty training
Dr. Regan Morris is the owner of Bayview Wellington Veterinary Clinic and a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist dedicated to providing exceptional dental and oral surgical care for dogs and cats. Since graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2001, she has built her career on combining advanced clinical expertise with compassionate, individualized patient care.
After several years in mixed animal practice, Dr. Morris founded Bayview Wellington Veterinary Clinic in Aurora in 2010 with the vision of creating an independently owned practice where patients receive thoughtful, evidence-based care in a welcoming environment. Her passion for veterinary dentistry led her to pursue years of advanced training, culminating in becoming a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) in 2022. She is also a Certified Veterinary Pain Practitioner, reflecting her commitment to maximizing patient comfort before, during, and after every procedure.
Today, Dr. Morris focuses exclusively on advanced veterinary dentistry and oral surgery, providing specialty care for referral patients from veterinarians throughout Ontario, as well as dentistry patients from Bayview Wellington Veterinary Clinic. Her clinical interests include oral surgery, endodontics (root canal therapy), advanced periodontal therapy, oral tumours, and the management of malocclusions to restore a comfortable, functional, and pain-free bite.
Patient-centered care philosophy
Dr. Morris believes that every patient deserves an individualized treatment plan based on careful diagnostics, thoughtful clinical judgment, and the best available scientific evidence. She understands that every patient, every family, and every situation is unique, and takes the time to develop treatment recommendations that are tailored to the needs of both the pet and their family.
She believes that specialty practice is not simply about performing advanced procedures—it is about being a trusted resource for pet owners and veterinarians alike, providing thoughtful recommendations, collaborative care, and treatment that always puts the patient’s best interests first. Whether working with a referring veterinarian on a challenging case or helping a family understand their pet’s diagnosis, her goal is to provide care that is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in trust.
Continuous learning & life beyond the clinic
Dr. Morris remains actively involved in continuing education and professional collaboration, enjoys teaching and mentoring veterinary students and colleagues, and contributes to the advancement of veterinary dentistry through peer review and lifelong learning.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Morris enjoys travelling, golfing, spending time with her husband Kevin, and continually seeking opportunities to learn and grow—both professionally and personally.
Being trusted with the care of a beloved pet is a privilege that Dr. Morris never takes for granted. She is committed to treating every patient with the same compassion, attention to detail, and dedication she would want for her own pets.
What is a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist™?
A Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist is a veterinarian who has completed several years of advanced training in veterinary dentistry and oral surgery beyond veterinary school. This specialized training includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the teeth, gums, jaws, and oral cavity, as well as advanced procedures such as oral surgery, root canal therapy, periodontal surgery, and the management of complex oral conditions. Candidates must also complete rigorous clinical and academic requirements before successfully passing the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) board certification examinations.
Board certification represents a commitment to the highest standards of specialty care and lifelong learning. As a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College, Dr. Morris works closely with family veterinarians throughout Ontario, providing advanced dental and oral surgical care while partnering with them to ensure the best possible outcome for every patient.
For Dr. Morris, becoming a Board-Certified Veterinary Dentist was about more than earning a specialty designation. It was driven by a passion for solving complex dental problems, relieving pain, and improving the quality of life of her patients. She believes that combining advanced training with compassionate, individualized care allows pets and their families to receive the very best treatment possible.
