Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Removal of teeth that cannot be reliably saved due to severe decay, fracture or infection. We will prioritise preserving natural teeth where possible and provide gentle, comfortable care with clear aftercare guidance. 

 Some teeth require surgical extraction due to their position, complex roots, fracture or incomplete eruption. Performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure may involve a small gum incision or dividing the tooth, followed by stitches and aftercare to support comfortable healing. 

 Wisdom teeth can become impacted due to limited space, causing pain, infection, decay or damage to neighbouring teeth. We will assess their position. If removal is required, explain the procedure, anaesthesia options and aftercare. 

 A retained tooth root may need removal if it causes pain, infection, or affects planned dental treatment such as an implant. We will assess its position. If removal is needed, carefully remove it under local anaesthesia with minimal disturbance to surrounding tissue. 

Treats infection that persists at the tip of a tooth root after root canal treatment. Under local anaesthesia, the infected tissue and root tip are removed, the root is sealed and the procedure can help save the natural tooth. 

A surgical procedure to remove a cyst from the jawbone or surrounding oral tissues while preserving healthy structures. The cyst is sent for laboratory analysis, and follow-up appointments help monitor healing and ensure appropriate care. 

Removal a small sample or sometimes the entire lesion, for laboratory examination to establish an accurate diagnosis. Performed under local anaesthesia, it is a quick procedure that helps guide any necessary treatment or monitoring. 

Carefully assessed to determine whether monitoring or removal is appropriate. When removal is needed, it is usually performed under local anaesthesia, with the tissue sometimes sent for laboratory analysis to confirm the diagnosis. 

Releases or removes a tight frenum that may restrict tongue or lip movement and affect speech, feeding, orthodontics or gum health. Performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure is quick and may use a laser for reduced bleeding and faster recovery. 

Reshapes and smooths the jawbone after tooth extraction or before denture placement, creating a more comfortable and stable foundation. Performed under local anaesthesia, it can be done alongside extraction or as a separate procedure. 

Prepares the gums and underlying bone for a comfortable, secure denture or removable prosthesis. Minor procedures may smooth bone, remove excess tissue or correct other irregularities before the prosthesis is fitted. 

Uncovers a tooth, often a canine, that has failed to erupt naturally so it can be guided into position with orthodontic treatment. Performed under local anaesthesia, the procedure may involve removing gum or a small amount of bone and attaching a bracket or chain to the tooth. 

Relieves a dental abscess by creating a small opening to drain trapped pus, reducing pain and pressure. Performed under local anaesthesia, it is combined with treatment of the underlying infection such as root canal treatment or extraction. 

 Dental infections require prompt assessment to identify and treat the underlying cause, such as decay, gum disease or a failed previous treatment. Treatment may include drainage, root canal treatment, extraction or medication, depending on the infection and affected tooth. 

Helps maintain jawbone volume after tooth extraction by placing a bone graft into the empty socket. This can support future treatments such as dental implants and may reduce the need for additional bone grafting later. 

Rebuilds areas of insufficient jawbone to provide a strong foundation for dental implants or other treatment. Performed under local anaesthesia, the graft supports natural bone growth and typically requires several months to heal before further treatment. 

Rebuilds deficient jawbone using a bone graft and protective membrane, creating a stable foundation for dental implants. Performed under local anaesthesia, it may be done before or alongside implant placement. 

Involves assessing and treating injuries to the teeth, gums, and soft tissues following accidents or facial injuries. Treatment may include stabilising damaged teeth, managing soft-tissue wounds and pain relief.
