Oral surgical procedures at Hitchin Dental Care
Tooth extraction
A surgical tooth extraction is needed in more complex cases, where the tooth is particularly large, broken or embedded in the gum. A small incision is made in your gum to allow the problem tooth to be removed safely and successfully. We can also use this technique to extract wisdom teeth that have become impacted and are causing issues.
Jaw-related problems
Jaw problems can cause pain and discomfort, lead to difficulty with chewing and eating and cause your facial structure to appear unbalanced. Tailored oral surgery can help with the effects of temporomandibular joint pain (TMJ), malocclusion, clenching and grinding of the teeth and trauma. Our specialist can even correct irregularities of the jaw to give dentures a more improved fit.
Detection and treatment of disease
If necessary after your dental check up, a surgical biopsy can be carried out to check for oral cancer. A small sample of the abnormal growth or tissue is removed and tested. If cancer is detected, oral surgery can also be used to treat this.
