Surgical Dentistry

When teeth are beyond saving, extraction becomes necessary. But rest assured, our surgery offers diverse solutions for a comfortable and gentle procedure. 

Wisdom teeth can sometimes cause issues like pain, tooth crowding and infections, and removal may be necessary. Most erupted wisdom teeth can be extracted under local anesthetic. However, impacted teeth must be referred to an oral surgeon under general anaesthetic. Our team can organise a referral to an oral surgeon colleague if needed. 

One of the optimum options to replace a missing tooth is a dental implant. Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they function as the roots of missing teeth.

Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or to support partial or full dentures. 

Before proceeding with dental implant surgery, your dentist will need to assess your mouth's ability to support the implants. While most people are suitable candidates, some may lack sufficient healthy bone, necessitating a dental bone graft procedure to ensure successful implant placement. Addressing this concern beforehand is essential to prepare the foundation for the dental implant procedure.

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure performed by a dentist to expose a greater amount of tooth structure for the purpose of subsequently restoring the tooth prosthetically. 

Socket preservation is a technique used to maintain bone density following tooth extraction, preventing additional bone loss. This procedure involves placing bone graft materials into the socket of the extracted tooth to support the surrounding bone structure.
