Pet Dental Surgery
At DNA Vetcare, we offer comprehensive pet dental surgery to treat a wide range of oral health problems, including gum disease (gingivitis), advanced periodontal disease, damaged or wobbly teeth, and painful infections.
Our experienced team is dedicated to keeping your pet’s mouth healthy, comfortable, and free from pain, helping them enjoy a better quality of life and long-term wellbeing.
Why Might my Pet Need Dental Surgery?
Dental surgery is sometimes necessary to address painful oral health problems that can impact your pet’s comfort, happiness, and overall well-being. At DNA Vetcare, dental disease is one of the most common issues we treat, affecting over 30% of pets, and much of it can be avoided through regular check-ups and early treatment. Pets often hide dental pain well, but the discomfort is just as real as it is for us.
Typical dental problems include gum disease, tooth decay, infections or abscesses, fractured or wobbly teeth, and significant tartar buildup. When left untreated, these conditions can cause ongoing pain and may even lead to more serious health complications.
Our team is committed to spotting problems early and delivering gentle, effective treatment to keep your pet’s mouth healthy and comfortable.
What’s Involved in Pet Dental Surgery at DNA Vetcare?
If your pet needs dental surgery, you can rest assured they’re in safe hands at DNA Vetcare.
Before the Procedure
Our team performs a thorough dental examination and may recommend pre-anaesthetic blood tests to ensure your pet is fit for surgery.
During the Procedure
The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free throughout. Depending on the issue, treatment may include tooth extractions, cleaning below the gumline, or addressing infections and damaged teeth.
After the Procedure
We’ll provide full pain relief, home care advice, and follow-up checks to make sure your pet’s mouth heals smoothly and they’re back to their happy, healthy self.
How Much Does Pet Dental Surgery Cost?
The cost of pet dental surgery at DNA Vetcare varies depending on the type of procedure, the number of teeth involved, and any additional treatments required.
Factors such as whether extractions are needed, if dental x-rays are taken, or if your pet requires pre-anaesthetic blood tests can also affect the final price.
Our team will always provide a clear estimate before any procedure, so you know exactly what to expect. At DNA Vetcare, we have fixed dental prices, making it easier for you to know upfront the costs.

Pet Dental Surgery FAQs
How painful is dental surgery for pets?
At DNA Vetcare, we ensure your pet is comfortable and pain-free during dental surgery through the use of general anaesthesia and modern pain relief techniques. Post-surgery, most pets experience minimal discomfort, and we provide guidance on managing pain at home.
What are common dental issues in pets?
Common dental problems in cats and dogs include tartar and plaque buildup, gum disease (gingivitis), broken or loose teeth, oral infections, and tooth abscesses. Untreated dental disease can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and even systemic health issues.
At what age do dogs start having dental problems?
Dogs can begin showing signs of dental issues as early as 2–3 years old. Smaller breeds and certain breeds prone to dental disease may develop problems even earlier. Regular check-ups at our clinics help catch issues before they become serious.
At what age do cats start having dental problems?
Cats may start developing dental problems around 3–4 years old, with conditions like gingivitis, tooth resorption, and tartar buildup becoming more common as they age. Early detection and preventative care at our practices can help maintain your cat’s oral health.
What is the recovery process like for pet dental surgery?
Recovery usually takes a few days, depending on the procedure. Pets may have soft-food diets temporarily and sometimes require pain relief. Our DNA Vetcare team provides detailed aftercare instructions and is available for follow-ups to ensure smooth healing.
Can dental surgery prevent future problems?
Yes. Addressing dental disease early through surgery and ongoing care can prevent infections, tooth loss, and related health issues, helping your pet stay healthier and more comfortable in the long term.
