Evidence based oral surgery

Oral surgery at our Sheffield practice uses evidence based clinical techniques that conform to national guidelines. The oral surgery procedures that we carry out, among others, are removal of impacted wisdom teeth and fractured teeth, root canal treatment, extracting cysts, soft tissue procedures and apicoectomies.

Oral surgery procedures can take place with just a local anaesthetic. If you're at all worried, a general anaesthetic could be possible. But if you have any concerns about oral surgery, talk to our friendly Sheffield staff.

We know oral surgery can seem daunting, but Dr Bolt is extremely experienced and we do everything possible to put you at your ease.

Oral surgery for wisdom teeth

Extraction, for example of wisdom teeth, is the most popular oral surgery procedure. So what's involved? Extraction is usually pretty straightforward but teeth in awkward places that are set at difficult angles or badly decayed can sometimes be tricky to get out. In these cases, your surgeon might cut into your gum to get to the bone below. This sounds painful, but you won't be aware of it as you'll be sedated.
