Oral Surgery

Minor surgical procedures and wisdom teeth

Dentists can do a large number of surgical interventions in the mouth.  The term “Minor oral surgery” refers to smaller operations and includes removing wisdom teeth, impacted teeth, and severely broken-down teeth, as well as apicectomies, biopsies and other procedures.  

Procedures are usually carried out using routine local anaesthetic (injections) although sometimes sedation can be provided if necessary. 

Procedures requiring general anaesthetic will be done by an oral surgeon in a hospital setting
