Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects in the teeth, gums, jaws and surrounding areas. Typical problems requiring oral surgery include the removal of decayed, fractured teeth or roots, the removal of impacted painful wisdom teeth, soft tissue biopsies of the mouth, exposure of buried teeth removal of cysts of the jaws, oral medicine and dental injuries to the teeth, lips, gums and tongue.

For specialist oral surgery, you will normally need to be referred by your regular dentist, although self-referral as a private patient is also possible. One of our most common procedures is dental extraction, of an impacted wisdom tooth or a severely decayed or damaged tooth. Our treatment is normally carried out under local anesthetic. The clinic treats patients with optimal care and attention using clinical techniques that are evidence-based and in accordance with current national guidelines.
