Impacted wisdom tooth removal and minor oral surgery
Oral surgery
Gentle surgical care for impacted wisdom teeth and complex extractions, from our implant and surgical dentist, Waqar Mustafa.
Minor oral surgery at Outwood Dental Care
Some teeth need more than a routine extraction, such as impacted wisdom teeth stuck under the gum or a tooth that's broken at the gumline. Waqar Mustafa, our implant and surgical dentist, carries out minor oral surgery right here in the practice, so you can be treated close to home.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery covers dental treatments that go beyond a routine procedure. Minor oral surgery is the kind a dentist can carry out under local anaesthetic, in the practice.
The most common reason for requiring oral surgery is impacted wisdom teeth: wisdom teeth that haven't fully come through, or that are growing at an angle. They can cause pain, infection and damage to neighbouring teeth.
How much does minor oral surgery cost?
The cost of minor oral surgery depends on the procedure and how complex your case is. We'll give you a clear quote at your consultation, so you know what to expect beforegoing ahead with your surgery.
We offer 0% finance for minor oral surgery up to 12 months through our finance partner Tabeo, or up to 36 months at 9.9% APR.

Do I need minor oral surgery?
You might need oral surgery if impacted wisdom teeth are causing you pain, swelling or repeated infections at the back of your mouth, or if a tooth has broken at or below the gumline.
Your dentist may also recommend oral surgery if an x-ray shows a tooth's roots are curved or awkwardly placed, making a routine tooth extraction difficult.
