Oral Surgery
Your care starts with a conversation
Before any treatment, we take time to listen. Your consultation is a chance to explain what has been happening, ask questions and understand your options without feeling rushed. We will discuss the benefits, risks, likely recovery and costs, then agree a treatment plan tailored to you.We can assess
- Wisdom teeth and difficult extractions
- Retained roots
- Broken or unrestorable teeth
- Complex medical or dental circumstances
- Second opinions and referrals from other dentists
Meet Dr Oliver Turner
Oral surgery care is provided by Dr Oliver Turner, Joint Principal Dentist (GDC 309665). Oliver has completed a postgraduate certificate in oral surgery at the University of Bristol and is continuing further postgraduate diploma training. His approach combines careful planning with clear, calm explanations, so you understand each step and have time to make the decision that feels right for you. We also welcome referrals from other dentists. Visit our referrals page.Feeling nervous about treatment?
It is very common to feel anxious about an extraction. You will never be judged or rushed. We can work at a calm pace, explain each stage, agree a stop signal and pause whenever you need. If you would benefit from extra support, sedation may be considered after a separate assessment. We will talk through what is suitable for your health, the planned procedure and your individual needs.What to expect

Common questions
Will an extraction hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. You may notice pressure, but you should not feel sharp pain. Tell us at any point if you are uncomfortable.
Can I have sedation?
Intravenous sedation may be an option for suitable patients after a separate assessment. We will explain the benefits, limitations and arrangements before anything is booked.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies with the tooth, the procedure and your health. We will give you personalised written aftercare and explain when to contact us.
How much will it cost?
Fees depend on the assessment and complexity of treatment. You will receive a clear estimate before treatment. View our current fee guide.
