WHAT TO EXPECT
Why Might Your Pet Need a Tooth Extraction?

- Severe periodontal disease
- Broken teeth
- Abscessed teeth
- Teeth overcrowding
- Persistent baby teeth
Our Approach to Surgical Tooth Extraction for Pets
Pre-Operative Assessment
Every procedure begins with a thorough dental examination, including digital X-rays, to accurately assess your pet’s dental health and determine the need for extractions. This evaluation helps us plan the procedure and anticipate any potential complications.
Anaesthesia and Monitoring
For your pet’s comfort and safety, surgical tooth extractions are performed under general anesthesia. Our veterinary team closely monitors your pet’s vital signs throughout the procedure, ensuring their safety.
Pain Management
We prioritise pain management before, during, and after the extraction to minimise discomfort. Our approach includes local anesthetics, as well as appropriate pain relief medication tailored to your pet’s specific needs.
Post-Operative Care
After the extraction, we provide detailed instructions for home care, including dietary recommendations and pain management strategies, to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery for your pet.
