Oral Surgery in Columbus, OH: Advanced Surgical Care at Northwest Animal Hospital

When advanced dental conditions require surgical treatment, our team provides safe and compassionate oral surgery in Columbus. We focus on relieving pain, treating infection, and restoring your pet’s comfort through precise surgical procedures.

Understanding Oral Surgery

Oral surgery addresses serious dental and oral conditions that cannot be resolved through routine cleanings or preventive care. These procedures are often necessary to eliminate infection, remove diseased teeth, and protect overall health.

Our veterinarians carefully evaluate each case to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

What to Expect During Oral Surgery

Comprehensive Pre-Surgical Assessment

Every procedure begins with a detailed examination and diagnostic imaging. Dental radiographs help us evaluate the tooth roots and surrounding bone before surgery.

Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring

Your pet is placed under anesthesia for comfort and safety. We closely monitor your pet throughout the procedure.

Surgical Procedures

Our oral surgery services may include tooth extractions and removal of oral growths or infected tissue. Each procedure is performed with specialized instruments and guided by dental X-rays.

Recovery and Home Care Guidance

After surgery, we provide instructions to help support your pet’s recovery.

Why Oral Surgery Is Important

Relieves Pain and Infection

Severely diseased teeth and oral infections can cause significant discomfort. Surgical removal helps eliminate the source of pain and infection.

Prevents Serious Health Issues

Untreated oral infections can spread to other parts of the body. Oral surgery helps protect your pet’s overall health.

Improves Long-Term Comfort

Addressing advanced dental disease improves quality of life and allows pets to eat and function more comfortably.

Signs Your Pet May Need Oral Surgery

Your pet may benefit from oral surgery if you notice:

• Severe dental disease
• Loose or infected teeth
• Oral growths
• Swelling around the face or jaw
• Bleeding from the mouth
• Difficulty eating due to dental pain
