What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery covers dental procedures that go beyond routine care. The most common type of oral surgery we carry out is wisdom tooth removal, particularly when teeth are impacted. An impacted wisdom tooth is one that doesn't have enough room to emerge properly and can become trapped beneath the gum or grow at an angle.
Horizontally impacted wisdom teeth are especially tricky, as they push against neighbouring teeth and often cause pain, swelling, or infection. Our dentists carefully remove impacted wisdom teeth using advanced surgical techniques, making sure you're comfortable throughout the entire process.
How much does oral surgery cost?
The cost of oral surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure and how the tooth is positioned. Every case is different, which is why we always carry out a thorough consultation first.Β
We'll assess your situation with X-rays, explain exactly what's involved, and give you a clear, written quote before any treatment begins.

When is oral surgery needed?
You might need oral surgery if you're experiencing pain, swelling, or discomfort around your wisdom teeth, or if a tooth is broken or damaged in a way that makes routine extraction difficult.
Sometimes impacted wisdom teeth don't cause immediate symptoms but turn up during a routine X-ray at your check-up. If your dentist spots a potential problem, they'll talk you through your options and explain whether surgical removal is the best course of action. Regular dental check-ups are the best way to catch these issues early, so we can plan ahead together and avoid emergency situations.
