Extractions
From single diseased teeth to full mouth extractions for conditions such as feline chronic gingivostomatitis.
What is it?
Many pets require dental extractions, usually as a result of advanced periodontal disease which affects the ligaments and bone holding the teeth into the jaw. Fractured or damaged teeth can also require extraction if restoration is not an option.
In some cases, such as feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) or very advanced periodontal disease, pets may require the extraction of most or all of their teeth to resolve their condition.
Also known as feline tooth resorption, FORLs is a common and progressive dental disease where a cat's body reabsorbs its own teeth. It affects an estimated 20% to 60% of all cats, with the risk increasing as they age.
What happens if it isn't treated?
FORLs is a highly painful condition, although many cats manage to hide the symptoms with the disease only being diagnosed with dental X-rays.
Left untreated, advanced periodontal disease causes chronic pain, infection and progressive loss of the bone that holds the teeth in place.
What happens next?
We include mouth extractions for cases such as FORLs in our standard Fix & Shine package for £690.
Full mouth extractions need a scheduled second procedure (staged dentistry), usually at the reduced rate of £490.
Before booking, we recommend discussing your pet's case with a member of our clinical team.
