Although, as veterinary dentists, we prefer to save teeth, there are many indications for surgical extraction of teeth. These include periodontal disease, chronic gingivitis/stomatitis and severely fractured teeth.

Oral cancer and growths in cats and dogs are unfortunately common. There are many kinds of oral growths that can range from benign and non-cancerous to invasive malignant tumors.

Our goal for repairing jaw fractures is to use non-invasive techniques, ideally resulting in return to normal function. Many of our pet patients are able to eat normally the same evening after the procedure.
