Involved with Oral Surgery

Removal of wisdom teeth
An impacted wisdom tooth is where your tooth becomes stuck underneath the gum and grows at an odd angle causing problems including pain, swelling or infection.

Dental implants

Bone grafts
Bone graft surgery is usually performed if you would like to have dental implants but do not have enough jaw bone to hold the implant in place.
In this procedure, bone is taken from another place in the body and used to increase the bone density in the jaw.

Corrective jaw surgery
Corrective jaw surgery also known as orthognathic surgery is used to correct conditions with the jaw and face.
This might be used if you have a misalignment of the jaw and teeth.
Surgery can also be used to help with breathing problems and sleep apnea.

TMJ dysfunction
Oral Surgery
Is oral surgery available on the NHS?
Is oral surgery painful?
You will not feel any pain during the surgery because an anaesthetic will numb the area in your mouth. You are likely to feel some discomfort once the anaesthetic has worn off. Your dental practitioner will discuss with you how long this is likely to last and how you can manage the discomfort.
How long does oral surgery take?
This will depend upon the type of oral surgery that you are having and the number of teeth that are affected. As an example, removing all four wisdom teeth can take between 45 minutes to two hours depending upon their position in the gums and the complexity of how they are growing. Dental implant surgery placement varies according to the number of new teeth you are having, but typically surgery will last between one and two hours.
