Oral surgery is an area of dentistry which focuses on the treatment and management of the head, face and jaw irregularities that require surgical treatment as well as those concerning the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.

There are different types of minor oral surgery:
If a tooth is damaged beyond repair and cannot be saved by any other dental treatment it may need to be extracted. Teeth may also need to be extracted prior to orthodontic treatment in order to create space to straighten teeth, we will discuss this with you on your consultation.
If a wisdom tooth has grown into the wrong place and is causing pain, difficulty in cleaning, improper eruption or impaction the tooth may need to be surgically removed. This may involve making an incision into the gums to gain better access to remove the tooth.
