Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures performed in the mouth and jaw area. This can include tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement, jaw surgery, and other complex dental procedures.
Oral surgery is performed by dentists who have received specialist training in surgical techniques. Patients across Sevenoaks and surrounding areas trust Smileology for oral surgery because we have the expertise and experience to handle even the most complex cases.
Oral surgery may be recommended when other dental treatments are not suitable or when teeth cannot be saved.
How do we perform oral surgery at Smileology in Sevenoaks?
Step 1
At your appointment at Smileology in Sevenoaks, we will examine your mouth and take x-rays to assess your condition.
Step 2
We will discuss the surgical procedure with you and answer any questions you may have. We will explain what to expect before, during, and after your surgery.
Step 3
We use advanced techniques and technology to ensure your surgery is performed safely and efficiently. We will apply local anaesthetic to numb the area so you do not feel pain during surgery.
Step 4
For complex procedures, we may recommend sedation to help you feel relaxed and comfortable. After surgery, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover properly and reduce discomfort.

Oral surgery can improve your overall oral health and quality of life. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to minimise pain and recovery time.
Oral surgery is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort may be experienced during recovery, but this is usually manageable with pain relief medication.
How long does oral surgery take?
The length of oral surgery depends on the complexity of the procedure. Simple extractions may take 20-30 minutes, while more complex procedures can take 1-2 hours or longer.
What is the recovery time after oral surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Most patients can return to light activities within a few days and normal activities within 1-2 weeks. Following aftercare instructions carefully will help speed up your recovery.
Will I need time off work after oral surgery?
Most patients can return to work within a few days after oral surgery. However, if your job involves physical activity or strenuous work, you may need a week off. We will advise you based on your specific procedure.
Can I eat normally after oral surgery?
You should avoid eating hard, crunchy, or sticky foods for the first few days after surgery. Soft foods and cool drinks are recommended. We will provide you with detailed dietary advice.

Outstanding emergency and now ongoing treatment for one of my students! We absolutely could not ask for better service, and Dr Chaudhary is probably the best in the business for paediatric dental care. Thank you a million times.

Emma Shackleton
After avoiding going to the dentist for many years Smileology Sevenoaks have eased my anxiety and put me at ease. Dentist Luisa and Hygienist Katherine have been so wonderfully kind and caring in delivering the best care for my teeth. 100% recommend this dentist surgery.
Chris Hart
Very friendly staff!
Dan Foley
Always an excellent service, friendly and professional.
Gail Walker
I had become very disheartened with another dental practice I'd been a patient with, so I decided to try another practice. I was given an appointment initially for an assessment with Luisa. I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome as soon as I walked into the practice. Alice the practice manager was so friendly & professional. Luisa & her assistant Holly made me feel very comfortable & explained what was actually going on with my teeth & suggested the treatment I needed going forward. The practice was spotlessly clean & a pleasant atmosphere with a bit of music in the background to calm any anxious patient! Even after my first visit I felt this was the practice for me!
Stuart Allen
Charming, funny, kind and professional.
Very happy with my cleaned teeth.
Sandra Robertson
A great, friendly and professional service. Time is taken to explain the check ups and any suggested treatment. I feel more assured and confident that my teeth are well looked after.

I highly recommend this dental practice. I have needed a lot of treatment in the last few years (root canal, implants) and I am a very nervous & technically challenging patient! All of the staff, from technical through to reception, are kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. I feel confident I am getting the best possible treatment.

Have been coming here for hygienist and regular dental check ups for a while. Always efficient and friendly. Not the cheapest but ultimately good value.
Michelle Hughes
I can highly recommend this dental practice! My 11 year old daughter has just had some complex work done on her tooth which she was extremely anxious about. Dr Shah and his dental nurses were so good at reassuring her and they did an amazing job. I always find the team there very friendly and approachable!
We are happy we chose Smileology Sevenoaks.
Great atmosphere, friendly and professional staff who understands the needs of their clients.
Can't wait to visit again soon.
Oral surgery can include tooth removal and other procedures involving the teeth, gums or jaws. The exact approach depends on the diagnosis, anatomy, symptoms and available alternatives.
Who may be suitable?
Assessment should cover medical history, medicines, allergies, smoking, examination and imaging where justified. Your clinician should explain why surgery is recommended and whether monitoring or another treatment is possible.
What are the risks and limitations?
Risks vary by procedure and can include pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, dry socket, damage to nearby teeth and altered sensation from nerve injury. Individual risk should be discussed before consent.
What should I know about aftercare and maintenance?
Follow written instructions, avoid smoking, protect the blood clot and use recommended pain relief. Seek urgent advice for uncontrolled bleeding, breathing or swallowing difficulty, or worsening swelling and illness.
