Oral Surgery
01
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth often become impacted, or stuck, requiring surgery to treat infection or protect adjacent teeth. They can be near the nerves that supply the lip, chin and tongue with sensation.
03
Oral lesions
Diagnosis and treatment of patches, lumps and bumps in the mouth. Removal of polyps and mucocoeles and diagnostic biopsy.
05
Cysts in the jaws
Cysts can occasionally form in the jaw. These often require surgery to prevent them from enlarging and causing weakness of the jaw.
02
Exposing teeth
When teeth that develop in the wrong place, sometimes they need to be removed or surgically exposed to help bring them in to a better position. Often a gold chain can be bonded to the tooth.
04
Surgical Extractions
Extractions of broken teeth, or roots of teeth.

Children's Oral Surgery
Dental extractions of broken teeth, orthodontic extractions, extra supernumerary teeth, and exposure of buried teeth.
