Oral Surgery in Hanwell
When More Than a Standard
Extraction Is Needed.

Surgical extractions — for complex roots and broken-down teeth
When a tooth can't be removed with forceps alone, a surgical approach using a small incision allows controlled extraction without excessive force
Wisdom teeth — impacted and erupted
Wisdom tooth removal from £295 — assessed on X-ray first, with a clear explanation of what the procedure involves and the expected recovery
Bone grafts for implant preparation
When the jawbone beneath a missing tooth has resorbed significantly, a bone graft can restore sufficient volume for implant placement — assessed and discussed at consultation

Honest Costs Before Any Commitment
The complexity of oral surgery — and therefore the cost — depends on the root anatomy and surgical access visible on X-ray. We always assess before confirming the fee, and we tell you honestly when a case is complex enough to warrant referral to a specialist. Starting From

Planning an Implant After Extraction?
Bone grafting at the time of extraction can preserve the ridge volume needed for a future implant. We plan this in advance — not as an afterthought.
Serving Hanwell Patients
What's Included in Your
Oral Surgery Appointment
Minor oral surgery at Hanwell Smiles is carefully planned – here is what every surgical appointment involves.
Pre-Surgical Assessment and X-Ray
A periapical X-ray shows the root anatomy, the depth of impaction, and the relationship of the roots to the surrounding anatomy. This is essential for planning the surgical approach and estimating the difficulty of the procedure.
Surgical Technique Explanation
We explain exactly what will happen during the procedure — the type of incision, whether bone removal or tooth sectioning is needed, and what to expect during and after. Informed patients recover better and are less anxious.
Local Anaesthetic
The surgical site is comprehensively numbed before the procedure begins. For oral surgery we often use supplemental anaesthetic techniques to ensure complete comfort — we don't proceed until the area is fully anaesthetised.
Controlled Surgical Procedure
Surgical instruments, a measured incision where needed, and in some cases sectioning of the tooth to remove it in manageable pieces — all carried out precisely to minimise trauma to the surrounding tissue and bone.
Suturing and Socket Care
Where an incision has been made, dissolvable sutures close the site. The socket is irrigated and checked. We ensure bleeding has reduced before you leave the surgery.
Comprehensive Aftercare Instructions
Written and verbal aftercare instructions covering diet, activity restrictions, wound care, pain management, and the signs that would mean calling us. We follow up on surgical cases to check healing is progressing normally.

Planning the Procedure
Surgical Extractions vs Wisdom Tooth Surgery
A surgical extraction differs from a routine extraction in that the tooth cannot be removed using forceps alone. This may be because the roots are curved, the tooth has broken at the gum line, or the bone around the tooth is particularly dense. A small incision is made in the gum to access the tooth directly — instruments are used to section the tooth into manageable pieces and remove each piece systematically.
Surgical extraction: controlled incision + sectioning — typically completed in a single appointment
Wisdom tooth surgery: planned from X-ray, impaction assessed — recovery 5–10 days for surgical cases

WHY IT MATTERS
Why Some Extractions Need a
Surgical Approach
Not every extraction needs surgery, but when it does, the surgical approach is genuinely better — more controlled, less traumatic to the surrounding bone, and less likely to leave residual root fragments that could cause problems later.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth
A wisdom tooth growing sideways, angling into the adjacent tooth, or sitting completely below the gum line will not erupt and needs surgical removal. Left in place, impacted wisdom teeth cause repeated infections, damage the adjacent molar, and create a site of ongoing bacterial accumulation.
Broken or Root-Treated Teeth
Teeth that have already been root-treated or that have fractured at the gum line often have brittle roots that would break under forceps pressure, leaving fragments in the socket. A surgical approach — visualising the root directly after a small incision — avoids this and removes the tooth cleanly.
Pre-Implant Planning
When an extraction is planned in an area where a future implant is intended, the surgical approach allows preservation of the alveolar ridge and, where appropriate, placement of a socket preservation graft at the same appointment — significantly improving the conditions for implant placement later.
What Is Recovery Like After Oral Surgery?
Simple surgical extractions generally resolve within 3 to 5 days. Wisdom tooth surgery involving significant bone removal or a deeply impacted tooth may cause swelling and discomfort for 5 to 10 days. Ice packs in the first 24 hours, soft food, avoiding rinsing for the first day, and over-the-counter pain relief manage recovery in most cases.
