What does oral surgery involve?
Oral surgery involves a range of procedures designed to alleviate your pain, restore your mouth to full function, improve appearance and even prepare for future dental work. These include:
Wisdom tooth removal – we can extract impacted or stuck wisdom teeth that are causing pain, infection or damage to your adjacent teeth or gums. Wisdom tooth removal is a very common procedure.
Extractions – we carry out both routine and complex extractions, removing severely decayed or broken teeth that can’t be restored. Teeth that are partially erupted, stuck or overly large typically require a surgical approach.
Dental implant placement – we can help you complete your smile with dental implants surgically placed into your jawbone. Our precise and accurate treatment gives a solid and secure foundation for your beautiful replacement teeth.
Cyst removal – we can remove cysts from your jawbone or soft tissues of your mouth, preventing them from expanding and causing pain, swelling and further damage.

What to expect during your oral surgery
We begin your oral surgery journey with a detailed consultation and assessment. We take digital x-rays and scans to fully understand the issue, create your personalised treatment plan and explain the procedure to you.
Your oral surgery is always performed under local anaesthetic to minimise your discomfort. Our high standards of clinical treatment and patient care ensure you are in safe hands throughout. If you have been referred to us by your dentist, we always keep them informed.
After your oral surgery, we provide easy-to-follow aftercare instructions and advice tailored to you. These help to manage your post-operative discomfort and promote rapid healing.

Frequently asked questions
Our priority is to keep you as comfortable as possible. All procedures are carried out under effective local anaesthetic, and sedation can be arranged if needed. You may feel some pressure during treatment, but you should not feel pain. Afterwards, any soreness is usually well managed with routine pain relief and clear aftercare advice.
Recovery time depends on the type of procedure. For most extractions and minor surgery, patients start to feel comfortable again within a few days, with full healing in one to two weeks. More complex treatments, such as implants, may require a little longer. We’ll provide tailored aftercare guidance and check-ups to support your healing.
We welcome both referrals from dentists and direct enquiries from patients. If you’ve been referred, we’ll keep your dentist updated with your treatment plan and outcome. If you’d like to contact us directly, simply book a consultation and we’ll guide you through your options.
It’s very common to feel anxious about oral surgery. Our team takes time to explain every step, answer your questions, and put you at ease. We also offer sedation options for patients who feel especially nervous, so you can have treatment in a calm and relaxed state.
