Which treatments need oral surgery in Notting Hill?

Here are some of the more common treatments that might require oral surgery:

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Your wisdom teeth are right at the back of your mouth and are the last teeth to come through mostly between the ages of 17 and 25. Sometimes, if there isn’t enough room, your wisdom teeth may come through at an angle or partially emerged and this is known as impacted wisdom teeth.

Impacted wisdom teeth will need to be removed if they are causing you pain or swelling. The removal of wisdom teeth is a common procedure and doesn’t take long at all. We will give you a local anaesthetic so that you cannot feel anything at the back of your mouth and then we will gently remove your wisdom teeth using special dental tools.

Dental Implants

If you have a missing tooth or several missing teeth, they can be replaced with dental implants. Dental implants are inserted into your jawbone and act as your new tooth root. 

After you have been given a local anaesthetic to numb the area, our expert dental implantologist will make an incision in your gum and jawbone and gently place the dental implant.

If your jawbone is too weak to support a dental implant, we can carry out bone grafts. In this procedure, we surgically transplant bone to your jaw to make it stronger so that it can support a dental implant.

Jaw surgery

Surgery to the jaw can cover a range of dental or skeletal problems including the misalignment of teeth and jaws.

If you are suffering with problems such as biting, chewing or excessive wear on your teeth, or perhaps you may have an open, cross or underbite, you may need surgery to your jaw. You may also need jaw surgery if you have suffered an injury which is causing you pain. 

Any of these issues can be corrected by our experienced oral surgeon. At Notting Hill Dental Clinic your jawbone can be re-shaped, bone can be added or taken away to correct your jaw. Oral surgery to your jaw can improve your appearance, bite and sometimes your speech.
