WHAT TO EXPECT

Why Might Your Pet Need Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery may be necessary to address a variety of conditions affecting your pet’s mouth, teeth, and jaw. These conditions may include:

  • Oral tumors or growths
  • Fractured or damaged teeth
  • Severe periodontal disease
  • Jaw fractures or misalignment
  • Palate defects or abnormalities

 

Our Approach to Oral Surgery

Pre-Operative Assessment

Before performing oral surgery, our veterinary team conducts a thorough examination of your pet’s oral cavity. This assessment may include diagnostic imaging, such as digital X-rays, to evaluate the extent of the problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Anesthesia and Monitoring

To ensure your pet’s comfort and safety during surgery, we administer general anesthesia and closely monitor their vital signs throughout the procedure. Our advanced monitoring equipment allows us to adjust anesthesia levels as needed and respond quickly to any changes.

Surgical Techniques

Our veterinarians are skilled in a variety of surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Whether it’s removing a tumor, repairing a fractured tooth, or addressing jaw abnormalities, we prioritise precision and care to achieve the best possible outcome.

Pain Management

Effective pain management is a crucial aspect of oral surgery. We utilise a combination of local anesthetics and pain relief medication to minimise discomfort during and after the procedure, ensuring your pet’s well-being throughout their recovery.

Post-Operative Care

After surgery, we provide detailed instructions for at-home care and monitoring to support your pet’s recovery. This may include dietary recommendations, medication administration, and follow-up appointments to assess healing progress.
