Your journey
What happens, and when
Every patient is different, but these are the stages you'll usually go through.
-
01
Before your visit
Bring a list of your medicines and any questions. If you've been referred, we'll already have your dentist's notes.
-
02
Consultation
We'll talk through your history, examine the area and take X-rays or a scan if needed. You'll leave knowing your options.
-
03
Treatment day
Local anaesthetic first, sedation if planned, and I'll explain what's happening as we go. Most procedures are quicker than people expect.
-
04
Recovery
You'll go home with written aftercare advice, and we'll check on your healing at a review if one is needed.

Helpful reading before and after
Is my treatment NHS or private?
NHS minor oral surgery, such as some extractions and wisdom teeth, is provided through referral from your dentist, subject to NHS criteria. Dental implants and some other treatments are usually private. We'll always make clear which applies before treatment.
What should I bring to my consultation?
A list of any medicines you take (or the medicines themselves), details of any medical conditions, and your referral letter if you have one. Bring your questions too. It helps to write them down.
Can I bring someone with me?
Of course. Many people find it reassuring to have a friend or family member at their consultation. If you're having IV sedation, an adult escort is essential.
Should I eat before my appointment?
For treatment under local anaesthetic, a normal light meal beforehand is usually a good idea. If you're having sedation, follow the specific instructions you're given.
What if I have a problem after surgery?
Contact the practice where you were treated. Outside opening hours, call NHS 111 for advice.
Seek urgent help (call 999 or go to A&E) if you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading towards your eye or neck, or bleeding that won't stop with firm pressure.
