Our Dentists have a special interest in oral surgery and can perform most treatments in-house. For more complex cases—such as impacted teeth or patients with underlying medical conditions—we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist or local hospital for advanced care.

When Might Oral Surgery Be Needed?

You may require oral surgery if you have:

  • Severely decayed or damaged teeth that can’t be repaired with a filling or crown.
  • Loose or mobile teeth due to advanced gum disease or trauma.
  • Wisdom teeth causing pain, swelling or repeated infections.
  • Overcrowded teeth needing removal ahead of orthodontic treatment.

What to Expect from Oral Surgery

We understand that the idea of surgery can feel daunting — but you’re in experienced and caring hands. Most procedures are carried out using local anaesthetic, which means the area is numbed and you remain awake but comfortable throughout. Our Dental Centres are fully equiped with all the necessary equipments.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge in late teens or early twenties. Sometimes, they grow at an awkward angle or become impacted under the gum — causing discomfort, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth.

In such cases, removal is the best long-term solution. Our team will guide you through every step of the process with clear explanations and personalised care.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform. Here’s what to expect:

Before Your Appointment:

  • We’ll explain your options for anesthesia or sedation (if applicable).
  • You’ll be advised if you need someone to accompany you.
  • We’ll discuss replacement options such as implants, dentures or bridges, if relevant.

During the Procedure:

  • The area is fully numbed, and you’ll feel pressure, but no pain.
  • In some cases, stitches may be placed to aid healing.
