A simple extraction is performed on a tooth that is fully visible above the gum line and can be removed using forceps without surgical intervention. Common reasons include severe decay beyond restoration, advanced gum disease, orthodontic crowding, or a fractured tooth that cannot be saved. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout. Our dentist gently loosens the tooth before carefully lifting it from the socket. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a day or two. We provide thorough aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and discuss tooth replacement options where appropriate following the extraction.
Surgical extractions are required when a tooth cannot be removed with simple forceps techniques — typically because it is partially or fully impacted beneath the gum line, broken at the root, or fused to surrounding bone. Our oral surgeon makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth, which may be sectioned into pieces for safer, more efficient removal. The area is then cleaned, sutured, and dressed to promote healing. Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation options available, surgical extractions are completed with precision and care to minimise trauma to surrounding tissue. Detailed post-operative instructions ensure your comfort and optimal recovery following the procedure.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often lack sufficient space to erupt properly, leading to impaction, crowding, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth. Early removal is frequently recommended to prevent these complications before they escalate. Our team performs wisdom tooth extractions — whether simple or surgical — with patient comfort as the top priority. We offer local anaesthesia and sedation options to ensure a relaxed, pain-free experience throughout. Digital imaging allows us to assess the position and angulation of each tooth before treatment, enabling precise, safe removal with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. Most patients recover comfortably within a few days following clear post-operative care guidance provided by our team.
Bone grafting is a regenerative procedure that rebuilds lost or insufficient jawbone volume, most commonly in preparation for dental implant placement. Bone loss can occur following tooth extraction, gum disease, infection, or trauma. During the procedure, grafting material — sourced from the patient, a donor, or a synthetic substitute — is placed into the deficient area and allowed to integrate with the existing bone over several months. This process stimulates new bone growth, creating the stable, dense foundation necessary to support a dental implant successfully. Bone grafting may also be performed to restore facial structure and prevent further bone deterioration. It is a safe, well-established procedure with predictable, long-term results.
Socket preservation, also known as alveolar ridge preservation, is a grafting procedure performed immediately after a tooth extraction to minimise bone loss and maintain the natural contour of the jaw. When a tooth is removed, the surrounding bone naturally begins to resorb, which can complicate future implant placement and alter facial aesthetics. By placing grafting material directly into the empty socket at the time of extraction and covering it with a protective membrane, we significantly reduce bone shrinkage during healing. This proactive approach preserves the ridge dimensions needed for a successful implant, shortens overall treatment timelines, and helps maintain the natural appearance of your jaw and smile long term.
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or releases the frenum — the small band of tissue connecting the lip, cheek, or tongue to the gum or floor of the mouth. An overly tight or thick frenum can restrict tongue movement, cause a gap between the front teeth, contribute to gum recession, or interfere with denture stability. In infants, tongue-tie and lip-tie frenectomies can dramatically improve breastfeeding and speech development. The procedure is quick, typically performed with a laser or surgical blade under local anaesthesia, and heals rapidly with minimal discomfort. Frenectomies deliver immediate functional and aesthetic improvements, often transforming patient comfort and quality of life significantly.
