Pet Dental Surgery

Dental health is essential to your pet’s overall well-being. When dental disease or injury goes beyond routine cleaning, surgical intervention may be needed to relieve pain and prevent further complications.

At MetroVet Veterinary Clinic, we provide comprehensive dental evaluations and perform many dental procedures in-house, while partnering with veterinary dental specialists when advanced care is required.

Common Dental Surgeries For Pets

Our veterinarians provide a range of dental surgical services to help address oral health issues and relieve discomfort. Each pet’s needs are carefully evaluated so we can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

Jaw Fracture Repair

Jaw fractures can be painful and disruptive for pets and may result from trauma or advanced dental disease. Dental surgery can help realign and stabilize the jaw, allowing your pet to eat, drink, and heal more comfortably.

For complex fractures or cases requiring advanced techniques, we will refer your pet to a veterinary dentist or surgeon. Our team works closely with specialty partners to help ensure coordinated care and smooth transitions.

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is broken, infected, or requires removal for additional treatment, extraction is often the best option to relieve pain and prevent further complications. While losing a tooth can be concerning, pets typically recover quickly and feel much more comfortable afterward.

We perform many routine dental extractions in-house. For more complicated cases, such as deeply impacted teeth or large teeth requiring surgical removal, we may recommend referral to a dental specialist or surgeon.

Dental X-rays

Dental X-rays (veterinary dental radiography) are an essential part of diagnosing oral disease. Many dental problems occur below the gumline and are not visible during a standard exam.

Dental X-rays are safe and painless and allow us to evaluate tooth roots, bone structure, and areas of infection or damage. If advanced findings are identified, we will discuss treatment options and refer to a dental specialist when appropriate.

Root Canals

In some cases, a damaged or fractured tooth can be preserved with a root canal procedure. This treatment removes the infected portion of the tooth while keeping the tooth structure intact, helping relieve pain without extraction.

Root canals fall under veterinary endodontics, which addresses conditions within the tooth. While some cases may be managed by a general veterinarian, more complex cases are referred to board-certified veterinary dentists for specialized care.

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery includes procedures beyond extractions and fracture repair, such as removal of oral masses, treatment of advanced periodontal disease, or correction of congenital conditions. These procedures vary in complexity.

Our team manages many oral surgical cases in-house and partners with veterinary dental specialists when advanced expertise or equipment is required.
