Oral surgery
A clear plan before surgery and practical instructions to support your recovery afterwards.
Request an assessment
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGEWhat does it involve?
Oral surgery addresses problems requiring an operation, such as certain impacted teeth, retained roots or lesions needing investigation. Anatomy, medical history and medication are reviewed beforehand. We explain why surgery is proposed, the alternatives and the risks relevant to your case.
Care today. Smile tomorrow.
Planning according to your anatomy
Support through recovery
Is it right for you?
Surgery may be needed for a problematic wisdom tooth, a tooth that cannot be preserved or a lesion requiring surgical assessment. Not every wisdom tooth needs removal: the indication is assessed individually.
A plan you can understand.
Assessment and testing
We establish the indication and review your general health.
Intervention
We follow the planned anaesthesia and indicated surgical technique.
Recovery
We provide instructions and arrange the necessary review.
Aftercare and points to consider
Do not change or stop medication yourself. Follow cleaning, eating and activity instructions. Seek professional advice for bleeding that does not stop, fever or marked deterioration.
Preparing for surgery and caring for recovery
Understand the reason before proceeding
Not every wisdom tooth needs extraction. Position, symptoms and potential problems guide the decision. Before surgery, understand what it aims to address, what monitoring would involve and the risks relevant to that area.
Information to share with the team
Bring an up-to-date medication list and explain allergies, illnesses and previous problems with anaesthesia or bleeding. Do not stop anticoagulants yourself. Preparation, anaesthesia and instructions should reflect the procedure and your history.
Protect the wound after extraction
The blood clot is part of healing. Follow your instructions and initially avoid disturbing the wound, smoking or rinsing vigorously. Food and cleaning advice is adapted to the treated area. Different procedures do not all require identical instructions.
When to contact again
Bleeding that does not stop, fever or worsening pain and swelling needs advice. Some operations carry specific risks, such as altered sensation or healing problems, which should be explained beforehand. Seek immediate medical care and call 112 for difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Your questions,
clearly answered.
Information to help you feel more at ease before your appointment.
01Are all the wisdom teeth extracted?
No. Position, symptoms and the risk of future problems are assessed.
02Should I stop anticoagulants?
Do not stop them yourself. The team will plan appropriate management with your doctor where necessary.
03What anaesthesia is used?
Local anaesthesia is common. Any other option needs specific assessment and planning.
04How long does it take to recover?
Recovery varies with the procedure and individual. You will receive guidance and a personalised estimate.
05Can I work afterwards?
It depends on the procedure and your work. Ask beforehand so you can arrange rest if necessary.
06Are stitches always used?
No. It depends on the wound and technique. Whether stitches need removal also varies.
07When should I ask for help?
Seek urgent care for difficulty breathing or swallowing. Persistent bleeding, fever or increasing pain requires assessment.
08How is suitability assessed?
This page provides general guidance. During your consultation, we review your history, examine your mouth and recommend investigations if needed. We explain the alternatives before a decision is made.
09Can I see a cost estimate before starting?
Yes. After diagnosis, we explain the proposed plan and cost estimate, including its stages and what is covered. The price depends on your needs, rather than the treatment name alone.
