Jaw Fracture Repair

Jaw Fracture Repair

Jaw fractures in dogs are serious injuries that can significantly impact their ability to eat, drink, and carry out normal activities. Traumatic jaw fractures can be effectively addressed through various methods such as acrylic splints, intraoral wiring techniques, or intraoral plating. Each method has its benefits, depending on the specific type and severity of the fracture. Among these, bone plating often represents the most optimal approach for restoring the jaw, as it provides the strongest and most stable fixation, allowing for a quicker recovery.

Our primary objective is to alleviate your pet’s oral discomfort and reinstate normal occlusion and functionality swiftly. This not only improves your pet’s quality of life but also prevents further complications that could arise from an improperly healed fracture.
