Oral Surgery for Pets
Oral surgery in pets is essential for treating painful conditions such as fractured teeth, oral tumors, jaw trauma, or severe dental disease. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, our veterinary surgeons provide comprehensive oral and maxillofacial surgical care to restore both function and comfort.
Common procedures include tooth extractions, jaw fracture repair, tumor removal, and correction of congenital deformities such as cleft palate. Each surgery is performed with careful attention to minimizing discomfort, and more complex jaw injuries may be coordinated with our fractured jaw repair program.
We use advanced dental radiographs and digital imaging to evaluate bone structures and tooth roots before surgery, allowing for precise surgical planning and improved outcomes. Our team works closely with referring veterinarians and pet owners to ensure continuity of care before, during, and after each procedure.
Anesthesia is tailored to your pet's specific needs, with continuous monitoring by trained technicians. Local nerve blocks and postoperative pain management are used to keep your pet as comfortable as possible throughout recovery.
Recovery from oral surgery is typically rapid, with most pets returning to normal eating within a few days. If your pet is showing signs of dental pain, facial swelling, or difficulty eating, contact Animal Surgical Care of PA at (484) 886-8612 to schedule an evaluation.
