Overview

Most canine dental disease sits below the gumline, which is why looking in the mouth misses so much of it. By the time an owner notices bad breath, a dropped chew, or chewing on one side, the tooth responsible has often hurt for months.

Our dental and oral surgery covers surgical extraction of difficult multi-rooted premolars and carnassials, excision of benign oral tumors, jaw fracture repair, and deep periodontal flap closures. Every procedure includes localized infraorbital or mandibular nerve blocks and post-extraction digital dental radiographs.

Those two inclusions matter. Nerve blocks allow a lighter plane of anesthesia, which makes the procedure safer and the recovery calmer, and that is especially relevant for the many senior dogs we see. Dental X-rays confirm that every root is out. A retained root fragment is the most common reason a dog is still sore after an extraction done elsewhere.

Pricing runs from $150 to $950 per procedure depending on which teeth are involved, with anesthesia, nerve blocks, and dental X-rays included rather than added later. Complete dental cleanings start at $295.

Review 01

★★★★★
“Our Lab got into a bag of corn cobs after a backyard cookout in Sharpley. They had him in surgery the next morning, and the monitoring and bloodwork were explained before we signed anything.”

Review 02

★★★★★
“Our 11-year-old golden had a lump on her flank that kept growing. The quote was less than half what the big hospital wanted, and the incision healed so neatly you can barely find it.”

Review 03

★★★★★
“Bladder stones in our schnauzer, and a six-week wait elsewhere. We had a date within the week, the stone analysis was quoted up front, and she has been on her new diet ever since.”

Family FAQ

Canine Dental & Oral Surgery questions

01Why does my dog need a surgical extraction and not a simple pull?

Multi-rooted teeth such as carnassials and premolars cannot come out in one piece. They need a gum flap, sectioning into individual roots, and closure of the site. That is surgery, and it is why the price differs from a single-root pull.

02Are dental X-rays really necessary?

Yes. Roughly two-thirds of canine dental disease is below the gumline. X-rays show root abscesses, bone loss, and fractured roots, and they confirm the site is clean before closure.

03How much does dog dental surgery cost in Talleyville?

From $150 to $950 per procedure depending on how many teeth are involved and how difficult they are. Anesthesia, nerve blocks, and digital dental X-rays are included. Complete cleanings start at $295.

04Is anesthesia safe for a senior dog having dental work?

Pre-anesthetic bloodwork lets us build the protocol around your dog's organ function, and nerve blocks keep the anesthetic light. SpO2, ECG, blood pressure, and temperature are monitored continuously throughout.

05How long is recovery after a tooth extraction?

Most dogs eat softened food within a day or two and are back to normal within a week. Sites close with dissolvable sutures, and the follow-up evaluation confirms healing.

06Do you repair jaw fractures in dogs?

Yes. Jaw fracture repair is part of our oral surgery scope, along with excision of benign oral masses and deep periodontal flap closures.
