Oral surgery includes specialised procedures involving the teeth, gums, jawbone and surrounding oral structures. When a dental problem cannot be managed with routine treatment, surgery may help relieve discomfort, address complex conditions and restore oral health and function. Our approach focuses on careful assessment and treatment tailored to your needs.
Discover personalised oral surgery treatments to address damaged teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, jawbone loss, and gum recession while supporting your oral health.
Best for: Severely damaged, decayed, or crowded teeth
When a tooth cannot be preserved with other dental treatments, extraction may be recommended. The procedure involves carefully removing the affected tooth to address the problem and support your overall oral health.
Best for: Impacted, painful, or infected wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth that grow at an awkward angle or remain trapped beneath the gums may cause pain, swelling, or infection. Removal may be recommended after an examination and suitable dental imaging.
Best for: Insufficient jawbone before dental implants
Bone grafting may help rebuild or strengthen areas of the jawbone that have lost volume. When appropriate, it can create a more suitable foundation for dental implant placement.
Best for: Gum recession and exposed tooth roots
Gum grafting adds tissue to areas affected by gum recession. Depending on your condition, it may help cover exposed roots, reduce sensitivity, and protect vulnerable tooth surfaces.

Contact Our Team ↗Local anaesthesia is commonly used to numb the treatment area and help manage pain during oral surgery. Some soreness, tenderness, or swelling may occur afterwards as the anaesthesia wears off. Your dentist can recommend suitable pain relief and aftercare based on your procedure.
Recovery depends on the type and complexity of your procedure. Simple extractions may begin healing within a few days, while wisdom teeth removal or bone grafting can require longer recovery. Initial healing may take around one to two weeks for some procedures, although complete healing can take longer.
Follow your dentist's aftercare instructions and attend recommended follow-up appointments.
Soft foods are often recommended during the initial recovery period. Depending on your procedure, suitable options may include:
Avoid very hot, crunchy, or hard foods while the area heals. After an extraction, avoid using straws and follow your dentist's instructions to help protect the blood clot. Your recommended diet may vary depending on the procedure.
Mild discomfort, swelling, and a small amount of bleeding can occur after some oral surgery procedures. Contact your dental clinic promptly if you experience severe or worsening pain, persistent bleeding, fever, or symptoms that concern you.
Seek urgent medical attention if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, or rapidly increasing swelling.
