What is Oral Surgery?

Welcome to Dentique Dentistry, where we transform smiles with precision dental implants. Regain confidence in your smile's beauty and function.

Oral Surgery is a specialised field in diagnosing and managing conditions of the mouth and jaws that necessitate surgical intervention. At Dentique Dentistry, our focus extends to caring for children, adolescents, and adults, including those who may be dentally anxious or medically complex.

In the UK, Oral Surgery is administered by both Oral Surgeons and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, as the clinical expertise of these two specialties seamlessly align. Recognised as a Dental specialty by the UK General Dental Council, Oral Surgery is further enhanced by some practitioners who undergo extended training in the intricacies of Maxillofacial Surgery.

Our comprehensive range of Oral Surgery services encompasses:

  • Surgical extraction of Wisdom Teeth

  • Extractions of other impacted teeth or intricate extractions

  • Uncovering (Exposure) of Impacted Canine Teeth, facilitating guided eruption for combined orthodontic treatment

  • Teeth extraction prior to the placement of dental implants, with a focus on alveolar bone preservation

  • Apicectomy and apical surgery

  • Bone reconstruction for dental implants, including maxillary sinus lift

  • Oral cancer screening and biopsy

  • Diagnosis and surgical treatment of benign jaw cysts

Orthognathic surgery

Living with significant jaw issues can profoundly impact your daily life, making essential activities like eating and speaking painful and challenging. The associated burden of jaw and joint pain, sore facial muscles, and persistent headaches can negatively affect your overall well-being, alongside potential confidence issues due to facial imbalances.

The encouraging news is that relief from these chronic functional and cosmetic problems often comes in the form of corrective jaw surgery. This transformative solution not only addresses physical discomfort but also aims to restore confidence and aesthetic appeal.

If persistent jaw pain hinders your ability to lead a comfortable, functional, and confident life, consulting with an oral surgeon is the next step. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, specialising in corrective jaw surgery or orthognathic surgery, bring extensive education and experience beyond dental hospitals.

Having reached the highest level of surgical training in this field, and with over 24 years of hands-on experience, Luis utilises innovative technologies to ensure predictable and enduring results in corrective jaw surgeries. Trust in our dedication to your well-being as we guide you toward a life marked by comfort, functionality, and renewed confidence through personalised and expert care.
