Oral Surgery

Oral surgery covers dental procedures that need a surgical approach, such as removing impacted wisdom teeth, complex extractions, leftover roots, or preparing the mouth for implants. It's done under local anaesthetic, with sedation available, and most minor procedures heal within a week or two.

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during it. We'll discuss sedation if you're anxious. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal and well controlled with medication.

Most minor procedures heal within one to two weeks, though you'll feel much better within a few days. We'll give you a clear recovery timeline for your specific case.

We'll talk through comfort and sedation options at your assessment so anxious patients feel relaxed and supported throughout.

For procedures under local anaesthetic, no, you can drive yourself home. If we've planned sedation, bring someone to take you home and rest for the day.

Some procedures require stitches, often the dissolvable kind. We'll tell you beforehand and explain exactly how to care for the area.

Stick to soft, cool foods for the first day or two, plenty of soup, yoghurt, and similar, then ease back to your normal diet as healing allows. We'll guide you.
