Overview

Most canine dental disease lives below the gumline, which is why a visual mouth check misses so much of it. By the time an owner notices bad breath, a dropped chew toy, or chewing on one side, the tooth causing it has usually been painful for months.

Our dental and oral surgery covers advanced surgical extractions of difficult multi-rooted premolars and carnassials, surgical excision of benign oral tumors, canine 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 more than most owners realise. Nerve blocks let us keep the anesthetic depth lower, which makes the whole procedure safer and the recovery noticeably calmer. Dental X-rays confirm that a root has been fully removed. A retained root fragment is the single most common cause of ongoing pain after an extraction elsewhere.

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

Review 01

★★★★★
“Our lab swallowed a sock on a Saturday and they had him in surgery within days, not the six-week wait we were quoted elsewhere. The pre-op bloodwork and monitoring put us at ease.”

Review 02

★★★★★
“A referral hospital quoted us over $3,000 for our dog's bladder stone surgery. Brandywine Valley did the cystotomy for a fraction of that, and the flushing means the stones shouldn't come back.”

Review 03

★★★★★
“The lipoma on our spaniel was finally big enough to slow her down. The removal was clean, the cosmetic closure healed beautifully, and the follow-up evaluation was included.”

Family FAQ

Canine Dental & Oral Surgery questions

01Why does my dog need a surgical extraction rather than a simple pull?

Multi-rooted teeth such as carnassials and premolars cannot be extracted intact. They need a gum flap, sectioning of the tooth into individual roots, and closure of the site. That is a surgical procedure, and it is why the price differs from a simple single-root pull.

02Are dental X-rays really necessary?

Yes. Roughly two-thirds of canine dental disease sits below the gumline where it cannot be seen. X-rays show root abscesses, bone loss, and fractured roots, and they confirm the extraction site is clean before we close.

03How much does canine dental surgery cost in Wilmington?

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 dental cleanings start at $295.

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

Pre-anesthetic blood screening lets us build the protocol around your dog’s actual organ function, and nerve blocks keep the anesthetic depth low. Continuous SpO2, ECG, blood pressure, and temperature monitoring runs throughout.

05How long is recovery from a canine tooth extraction?

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

06Do you repair jaw fractures in dogs?

Yes. Canine jaw fracture repair is part of our oral surgery scope, alongside excision of benign oral masses and deep periodontal flap closures.
