What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery includes any surgical procedure within your pet’s mouth or jaw, typically performed by a trained veterinary surgeon. Our team will evaluate your pet’s teeth, gums, and jaw to identify the best treatment options and will discuss each detail with you so that you feel confident in your pet’s care.

Why Oral Surgery May Be Necessary
Pets may need oral surgery for a range of reasons, from treating tumors or jaw fractures to correcting structural issues that affect their comfort and health. Growths within the mouth can sometimes be resolved through early surgical intervention, while jaw fractures or defects often require surgery to restore proper function and ease pain, helping your pet return to their normal, happy self.
Is Oral Surgery Safe?
To perform oral surgery safely, anesthesia is used to ensure that your pet remains still and free of pain throughout the procedure. Before any anesthetic is administered, our team conducts thorough lab testing to select the safest anesthesia for your pet’s unique needs. During surgery, we closely monitor your pet to ensure a safe and smooth experience from start to finish.
