Oral surgery and tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your oral health, relieve pain, and prevent future dental problems. At York House Dental Practice in West Byfleet, Surrey, we provide safe, comfortable, and compassionate surgical care using the latest techniques and a gentle approach to put you at ease.
Whether you require a simple extraction, wisdom tooth removal, or a more complex surgical procedure, our experienced dental team ensures that your treatment is carried out with precision and care, focusing on your comfort and recovery.
Oral surgery is recommended when a tooth cannot be saved through restorative dentistry or when there are other issues affecting the mouth, gums, or jaw. The main goals include:
Relieving pain caused by damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth.
Preventing infection by removing the source of bacterial growth.
Creating space for orthodontic treatment or prosthetics.
Protecting surrounding teeth from further damage.
Improving overall oral health for long-term stability.
We offer treatment for a variety of dental and oral conditions, including:
Severely decayed or damaged teeth
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth
Overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
Advanced gum disease (periodontitis)
Broken teeth that cannot be repaired
Infections that do not respond to other treatments
Removal of baby teeth that haven’t fallen out naturally
At York House Dental Practice, every surgical treatment is carried out with patient comfort and safety as the priority:
Comprehensive Examination – We assess your oral health using digital X-rays and a detailed consultation to determine the best approach.
Pain-Free Anaesthesia – Local anaesthetic (or sedation if required) is used to ensure you are completely comfortable during the procedure.
Gentle Extraction or Surgery – The tooth is carefully loosened and removed, or in the case of oral surgery, precise incisions are made to access and treat the affected area.
Cleaning & Closure – The site is cleaned to prevent infection, and stitches may be placed if needed.

Pain Relief – Take prescribed or recommended pain medication as directed.
Ice Packs – Apply to the cheek to reduce swelling in the first few hours.
Soft Diet – Stick to soft foods and avoid hot drinks for the first day.
