Frequently Asked Questions

What is oral surgery and when is it required?

Oral surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jaw. It is typically required for complex extractions, impacted teeth, infection, or when treatment extends beyond routine dentistry.

Will oral surgery be painful?

Procedures are carried out under effective local anaesthesia, and sedation can be provided where appropriate. Our focus is on ensuring a calm, controlled, and comfortable experience throughout.

Do I need sedation for oral surgery?

Not all procedures require sedation; many patients are comfortable with local anaesthetic alone. However, IV or inhalational sedation can be offered to enhance comfort, particularly for anxious patients or more complex treatments.

How long does it take to recover after oral surgery?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Detailed aftercare guidance is provided to support a smooth recovery.

Why see a consultant oral surgeon?

A consultant oral surgeon has advanced hospital-based training and experience in managing complex cases. This ensures a higher level of precision, safety, and predictability, particularly for more challenging procedures.
