Some smiles need a little extra support. If you're dealing with painful wisdom teeth, excess gum tissue, or a broken tooth that needs removing, our expert oral surgery team is here to help. At Queensway Dental Clinic, we offer both NHS and private oral surgery - including wisdom teeth removal - with clear guidance on costs and care every step of the way.

What is
oral surgery?

Oral surgery deals with the diagnosis, treatment and management of issues with the mouth and jaws that require surgical intervention in both adults and children. Routine oral surgery (such as straightforward tooth extraction) can be done by the dentists, but more complex treatment (such as impacted wisdom teeth) is carried out by the Oral Surgeons working at Queensway, all of whom are registered Specialists by the GDC. Treatment can be provided under local anaesthetic (‘numbing injections’) with or without sedation which will make you feel sleepy and relaxed. Having sedation may also mean that you don’t remember much about the procedure afterwards.

Our treatment options include:

Wisdom teeth removal
Surgical extraction of teeth
Uncovering of teeth
Removal of cysts
Removal of benign soft tissues lesions (such as polyps)

Wisdom teeth
removal

Your ‘wisdom teeth’ are a third set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 to 25. Most people don’t have enough room for their wisdom teeth to grow naturally, so they may need to have them surgically removed to prevent infection, decay or other problems.

Wisdom teeth extraction is normally a simple procedure and can be carried out with or without sedation. Most people can return to normal activity within a few days of tooth extraction, but full recovery may take up to three weeks.

At your consultation appointment an x-ray will be taken, and your surgeon will talk through all your treatment options as well as the procedure itself.

Private oral surgery and wisdom teeth removal costs

In addition to our NHS services, we offer private oral surgery - including wisdom teeth removal - for patients who prefer shorter wait times or advanced sedation options.

Your private consultation costs £90, which includes any necessary x-rays. During this appointment, we’ll talk you through your treatment options, sedation preferences, and provide a clear, personalised quote.

While costs for oral surgery can vary depending on complexity and sedation type, we’ll always explain everything upfront - no hidden fees or surprises. Should you wish to go ahead, a deposit will be required to secure your treatment.
