What we offer

Oral Surgery treatments we offer.

We provide oral surgery with precision and care, always prioritising your ease and safety.

Tooth Extraction

Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or causing crowding. The treatment helps prevent infection, relieves pain, and protects the health of surrounding teeth and gums.

Surgical Removal of Impacted Teeth

Surgical Removal of Impacted Teeth

Impacted teeth, especially wisdom teeth, can cause pain, swelling, and infection. Surgical removal is done when these teeth fail to erupt fully. Using the least invasive techniques, we remove them safely to minimise the risk of complications.

Removal of Retained Roots

Root fragments left behind after incomplete extractions can lead to infection, swelling, or pain. We gently remove retained roots to clear infection risk, preserve healthy bone, and prepare the site for future treatments.

Apicectomy
(Root-end Surgery)

An apicectomy is performed when infection persists after root canal treatment. It removes the tip of the tooth root and seals it to prevent bacteria from causing a recurring infection. This saves the natural tooth, relieves pain, and stops infection.

Cyst Removal Surgery

Oral cysts can form in the jawbone or soft tissue, causing swelling or bone damage. This procedure restores bone health, eases discomfort, and creates a stable foundation for future dental treatments if needed.

Pre-prosthetic Bone Surgery

Before fitting dentures or implants, the bone may need reshaping to ensure a stable fit. We perform ridge modification to smooth sharp bone edges and improve support. This helps dentures or implants sit perfectly, function properly, and last longer.

When is Oral Surgery needed?

Before you book

When is Oral Surgery needed?

Oral surgery is usually recommended when a problem in the mouth or jaw stops settling on its own. It often starts as everyday discomfort that gradually worsens or keeps coming back.

Signs to look for:

  • Ongoing tooth, gum or jaw pain
  • Swelling or repeated infections
  • Painful or inflamed wisdom teeth
  • Trouble chewing or opening your mouth
  • A lump or cyst that keeps returning

Aftercare may include keeping the area clean, following dietary advice, taking prescribed medication and avoiding strenuous activity while you heal.

If any of these sound familiar, an assessment can find the cause and put a plan in place for comfortable relief.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions.

Is oral surgery painful?

We use local anaesthesia and gentle techniques to keep you comfortable. Most people feel only mild soreness for a few days.
If you’re anxious, we offer sedation:
All locations: oral sedation
Harley Private Dental & Ice Dental: Oral and IV sedation
Thornbury: oral, IV, and general anaesthetic

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies by procedure, but most patients return to normal activities within a few days. We provide clear aftercare instructions to support faster healing.

What is the recovery like after oral surgery?

After oral surgery, you might notice a bit of swelling, light bleeding, or some discomfort for a short time. Pain relief medication is often provided, and most people find that the pain eases day by day.

Are there risks with oral surgery?

All surgeries carry some risk, but we use advanced planning, sterile protocols, and safety checks to minimise complications and keep your procedure safe.

How much does oral surgery cost?

Costs depend on the procedure. We provide a full breakdown before treatment begins, so you can plan with confidence and avoid unexpected expenses.

What not to do after oral surgery?

For at least a week after oral surgery, avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, or any pushing and pulling. Physical strain can cause bleeding, disturb healing clots, and worsen swelling.

Can I eat normally after surgery?

You’ll start with soft foods for a few days to protect the surgical site. As healing progresses, we’ll guide you on safely returning to normal meals.

Will I need time off work?

You may need 1–3 days off for simple procedures and up to 1 week or more for complex ones. We’ll advise based on your treatment.

What is the most common oral surgery?

Tooth extraction is the most common oral surgery performed today. Both impacted teeth and wisdom teeth that cause issues often need to be removed to prevent further dental problems.
