What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery is a specialised branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws and face. It can be used to remove infected or impacted teeth, place dental implants, and even correct a misaligned jaw.

With oral surgery, we can restore your confidence, improve the way you speak and eat, and ultimately get you out of pain. We use advanced techniques and equipment, combined with our skills and experience, to ensure you achieve the best results.

What does the treatment process involve?

Consultation

1. Consultation

We begin your oral surgery treatment with a thorough consultation with our highly experienced team. We examine your mouth, identify the areas that need attention and ask you if you have any concerns. We discuss the treatment process with you and always give you the chance to ask any questions.

Planning

2. Planning

We use state-of-the-art scans and images, alongside digital X-rays, to aid our diagnosis and preparation for treatment. We carefully plan your surgery, outlining the procedure in detail, and explain it to you. We also let you know what to expect and how to prepare for your surgery.

Surgical treatment

3. Surgical treatment

On the day of your oral surgery, we make sure you are feeling comfortable and ready before we begin. We give you local anaesthetic to numb your mouth and minimise any discomfort during the procedure. The treatment varies depending on the specific surgical method. Tooth extractions involve making a small incision in your gum so they can be successfully taken out.

Recovery

4. Recovery

After your oral surgery treatment, we give you some specific advice and instructions for your post-operative care. This helps to ensure a smooth recovery, and includes how to manage any swelling and pain, and the best things to eat and drink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is oral surgery painful?

Oral surgery can be painful, but we use local anaesthetic to numb the affected area and minimise any discomfort during treatment. After the procedure, you may experience some tenderness or soreness, but this can be managed with effective pain relief as advised by your dentist.

How long is the recovery time after oral surgery?

The recovery time depends on the type of oral surgery carried out, and how complex the procedure is. We discuss this with you in your initial consultation, and give you some detailed post-operative advice to follow afterwards. If your tooth has been extracted, we usually advise waiting anything from a few hours to the next day to resume your normal activities.

Can you help if I am nervous about oral surgery?

If you are feeling nervous about the prospect of oral surgery, we can help! We understand your concerns and take a calm and gentle approach, making you feel at ease in our care. We also offer sedation, which helps you feel completely relaxed during treatment and unable to remember anything afterwards.

How much does oral surgery cost?

The cost of oral surgery varies depending on the complexity of your case and the procedure used. We can give you an idea of costs during your initial consultation, and offer flexible payment options to help make your treatment more affordable, subject to status.
