What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed inside your pet’s mouth and jaw, usually by a trained veterinary dentist. Our team will inspect your pet's teeth, gums, and jaw and thoroughly explain our findings so we can come up with the best possible treatment plan together.

- Broken Teeth
- Fractured Jaw
- Gum Disease
- Orthodontics and Bite Alignment

- Cavities
Why Does My Pet Need Oral Surgery?
There are many potential reasons why your pet might need oral surgery. They may require growth removal, reparation of oral or dental defects, or reparation of a jaw fracture.
Some oral tumors have no known cause. If oral tumors are detected early, surgical removal may be an option and result in a cure. Jaw fractures from trauma or disease also often require oral surgery to return the dog to a pain-free, happy life.
Is Oral Surgery Safe for My Dog?
Anesthesia is necessary for oral surgery. This allows us to treat your pet while they are immobilized and out of pain. Before anesthesia is delivered, laboratory tests are performed to determine the safest anesthetic protocol for your pet and the specific procedure. Your pet will be closely monitored during and after the procedure.

Reviews & Testimonials
I am so happy, no, BLESSED to have found this Veterinary Clinic. It's a new clinic, but with very experienced staff. Ignore the fact that there's only one other review currently. It's just cuz they are brand spankin' new! ✨I have 9 adult cats, and SEVEN we're in need of spay/neuter. I've had trouble booking since COVID, hence why I have more cats than I planned on.. Dr. B helped my family. I was able to book an appointment for THE NEXT DAY to fix ALL SEVEN AT ONCE!! The price was right. The location, right in the middle of the Midway district.. Read More

Thanks Dr Benedek!

My Aussie Cattle Dog has had some sort of allergic reaction causing him to itch and chew on himself incessantly. Had been going to another vet for over a year to get this taken care of but nothing was resolved. Dr. Benedek at PVS gave him a checkup and a good course of action. My dog is doing better but is still on the road to healing. In my case, the cost to get him better is not cheap (a lot of medications and tests) but it was well worth it.... Read More

I had a fantastic experience at the PetSmart veterinarian services! The vet was incredibly kind, and her supportive staff made both me and my dog feel very welcome. I even bumped into the vet in the lobby, and her friendly energy was so inviting that I decided to register my dog with them as his primary care provider on the spot. I can’t recommend this place enough! As an added bonus we received some free toys, which was a delightful surprise. Overall, a great experience for both me and my puppy.

This place is amazing, the staff is always so thoughtful and caring. Jessica and Armida at the front desk are always so caring to all my pets needs and on top of reminders my pets need. Blair, Ivana, and Gwen are always so sweet and patient with my nervous wreck of a chihuahua and German shepherd. Dr B has been such a knowledgeable doctor to learn from and I have been blessed to have her treat all 3 of my fur babies. I will continue to come here for future exams and care!

First and foremost I'd like to thank the staff of PetSmart Veterinary Services. Thank you deeply. They took me in on a Saturday evening when my pet was really sick, vomiting, diarrhea, and it was the worst thing possible it was Parvo. But Dr. Benedek's and the staff's quick treatment and care saved my puppies life. Now Fifi is thriving and doing so much better. So a big thank you again for the wonderful staff at PetSmart Veterinary Services!!!
