Dental Surgery for Pets in Greenville, SC

FurWell at Barkingham provides skilled dental surgery for pets experiencing severe oral disease, tooth fractures, and complex dental conditions. Our veterinary team is committed to restoring your pet's oral health with precision and care.

Understanding Pet Dental Surgery

Dental surgery goes beyond routine cleanings and extractions. It includes procedures such as treatment of tooth root abscesses, jaw fracture repair, removal of oral tumors, treatment of fistulas, and advanced periodontal surgical techniques. These procedures require specialized expertise, anesthesia, and careful post-operative management to ensure your pet's safety and recovery.

What to Expect During Dental Surgery

Pre-Surgical Evaluation

We perform a complete oral exam, dental radiographs, and pre-anesthetic bloodwork before any dental surgical procedure.

Anesthesia and Monitoring

Your pet will be under general anesthesia with continuous monitoring throughout the procedure, ensuring maximum safety and comfort.

The Surgical Procedure

Our veterinarians perform the dental surgery using specialized instruments. Procedures are tailored to your pet's specific condition and diagnosis.

Post-Surgical Recovery

We provide pain management, antibiotics as needed, and detailed aftercare instructions. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing.

Why Dental Surgery May Be Necessary for Your Pet

Treat Severe Infection

Tooth root abscesses and deep periodontal infections require surgical intervention. Left untreated, they can spread to the jawbone and surrounding tissues.

Remove Oral Tumors

Oral masses and tumors need surgical evaluation and removal to prevent progression and protect your pet's health.

Restore Oral Function

Dental surgery corrects conditions that interfere with eating, drinking, and your pet's ability to live comfortably and freely.
