The oral surgery team is a consultant lead unit that provides a wide range of treatment to patients, including: 

  • dentoalveolar surgery – extraction of teeth including wisdom teeth and other issues within the jaws such as cysts. 
  • soft tissue surgery – including biopsies often working with our oral medicine colleages 
  • paediatric surgery – we run regular clinics alongside our colleagues in paediatric dentistry and orthodontics
