Ulysses Veterinary Clinics - Dental Surgery

Ulysses Veterinary Clinics Cairns Dental Surgery

Our team of Cairns vets can support your pet’s dental health with surgical procedures, if required. Dental surgery is used to address complex oral health issues that cannot be resolved through routine cleanings or minor treatments. This may include advanced periodontal disease, oral tumors, jaw fractures or severe infections that affect your pet’s teeth, gums or jawbone.

During the surgery your pet will be placed under general anesthesia, to ensure they remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Post-surgery, your pet will be monitored closely as they recover. Pain management and aftercare instructions, including a soft-food diet and regular follow-ups, are provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

Regular dental care and early intervention are essential to minimising the need for surgery and keeping your pet’s smile healthy and strong, so contact us today to make an appointment for your pet.

Common Questions About Pet Dental Disease

How can I minimise ongoing dental disease?

Long-term control and prevention of dental disease requires regular dental home care. The best way to begin this is to acclimatise your pet from a young age. Dental home care may include:

Brushing Teeth Daily – Just like us! This is the best form of dental hygiene. Pet toothbrushes and toothpaste are now available. Please do not use human toothpaste formulas as they are not designed to be swallowed and may be toxic to your pet.
Teeth Friendly Chews and Toys – Use dental toys, enzymatic chews, or teeth cleaning biscuits, all of which may help keep the teeth clean.
Special Dental Diets & Water Additive – Feed pets special dental diets. This can help reduce the accumulation of tartar.

As with most things in life, when it comes to dental disease, prevention is definitely better than cure. Regular and frequent attention to your pet’s teeth may avoid the need for a professional dental clean under anaesthetic or tooth extractions, and will also improve your pet’s overall health. If you have any questions about dental care or professional cleaning please do not hesitate to contact us.

Wonderful, compassionate and professional practice. We had to put our lovely Sandy down on Monday.

Thank you to Dr Jo and nurse Sofie for the care, compassion and respect you showed our elderly dog and family when it was time to say goodbye. It was one of the hardest days we've faced as pet owners, but your kindness made a world of difference. The flowers we received afterwards were such a thoughtful and touching gesture. We are truly grateful for the support and professionalism shown by everyone at Ulysses Veterinary Clinic.
