Oral Surgery refers to any dental procedure performed within the mouth with specific regard to the teeth, jaws, and soft tissue.
These procedures can be performed by your general dentist; however, some cases or procedures require expert input in a hospital or clinical setting. Oral surgery can be performed in a general dental practice, under local anaesthetics, if suitable.

There are some treatments that your general dental practitioner or orthodontist may not have the experience to perform, or may require speciality knowledge and experience. These may include;
Following your referral, you will be booked in for a consultation. The aim of this visit is to clinically assess, diagnose and create the most appropriate treatment plan for you. If required, you may be sent for an OPT (x-ray) or CBCT (CT-scan). These images are then used in adjacent with the clinical examination to help gauge and plan for the complexity of your treatment.

The assessment fee is £60, and this includes any necessary x-rays and scans. Your report will outline the treatment options, including the associated costs.
The examination should feel like when your dentist or hygienist checks your mouth, but the offending tooth may be tender.
The initial assessment will take approximately 15-20 minutes. If you have been sent for a CBCT scan there may be a second review appointment arranged to discuss the scan findings and treatment options, with no additional charge.
The oral surgery dentist will discuss the possible risks specific to your case. However, common post-operative pain, swelling and bruising can be expected, and tends to last and improve up to 3-5 days following the procedure.
Following your treatment, you can take yourself home unless advised otherwise. You will normally be discharged back to your referring dentist, unless you require a review appointment depending on the complexity of your treatment.
Always excellent service and the staff are nice and friendly.My last visit was to see the hygienist and she was lovely. What can I say, going here makes a trip to the dentist a rather pleasant experience!
