Surgical removal is required when teeth are impacted or heavily broken down. Teeth may need to be surgically removed to reduce the risk of any complications arising from surgery, to facilitate a more rapid recovery and to decrease the duration of the procedure.  A specialist surgeon will typically remove thousands of teeth every year and have vast experience in providing this service.

Some patients are on a variety of medications or have a complex medical history, which can affect their oral health. This can make a routine dental extraction a high-risk procedure that many general dentists would prefer to avoid.

Accordingly, dentists will often choose to refer such patients to Oral Surgery Consultants to perform the procedure rather than attempt it in their clinic, this is because the general dentist has predicted the complexity of the extraction and referred the patient to a specialist for the best possible care.

If you are anxious about having an extraction, your tooth can be removed under sedation or general anaesthetic. Our operating theatre at Oral Surgery Consultants is specifically designed for oral surgery, with new state-of-the-art equipment allowing our surgeons to attain the best outcome for our patients.

This common condition of the bones is often treated with anti-resorptive medications. Extractions and oral surgery in these patients have special risks. Seeking specialist advice will reduce the risk of complications. With expert care, dental implants are possible for this patient group.
