Frequently asked questions
Oral surgery procedures are carried out to diagnose and treat injuries, defects and issues of the mouth, jaw and face. This can include difficult extractions, fractured teeth, and dental implants, and range from simple procedures to more complex treatments.
Oral surgery may be required for various reasons, such as extracting wisdom teeth, placing dental implants, correcting jaw problems, or removing cysts and tumours. We always have a detailed consultation with you to ensure you are suitable for treatment and we take the best course of action.
PRF stands for Platelet-Rich Fibrin. It is a regenerative material made from a small sample of your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate the fibrin, white blood cells, and platelets. Using PRF can help to accelerate healing and reduce post-operative swelling and discomfort by promoting tissue regeneration and new blood vessel formation.
Recovery time varies depending on the type of procedure. For a simple tooth extraction, you might feel back to normal in a few days, whereas more complex surgeries could require several weeks. Your oral surgeon will provide specific instructions and a timeline for your recovery.
