Oral Surgery
From complex tooth extractions to reconstructive jaw surgery, every procedure is performed with surgical precision and patient comfort as the top priority.
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
Impacted teeth, especially wisdom teeth, can cause pain, swelling, and infection. Surgical removal is done when these teeth fail to erupt fully. Using minimally 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. We remove the tip of the tooth root and seal it to prevent bacteria from recurring infection. This helps save the natural tooth, relieve pain, and stop the spread of 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.

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: GA, 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?
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.
