Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Wisdom teeth (third molars) often lack the space to emerge properly, becoming impacted - trapped beneath the gum, growing at an angle, or pressing against adjacent teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, infection, damage to neighbouring teeth, and cyst formation. Not all wisdom teeth need removal, but when they do, we use careful surgical technique and thorough anaesthesia to ensure your comfort.

The procedure is planned using X-rays or digital imaging to understand the tooth's position relative to nerves and surrounding structures. Minimally invasive approaches reduce post-operative swelling and speed recovery.

Beyond extractions, a range of minor oral surgical procedures may be needed to address various conditions in the mouth and jaw. A frenectomy releases a tight or restrictive frenum (the tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gum) that may be affecting speech, feeding, or orthodontic treatment. Soft tissue biopsies are performed when an unusual lesion or growth needs to be examined.

Small cysts or benign pathology in the jaw may require surgical enucleation. Each procedure is planned carefully, performed under local anaesthesia, and followed by appropriate aftercare to ensure smooth healing.
