Oral Surgery
As the name suggests, oral surgery is minor surgery of the mouth, face, and jaws. This is one of the hardest disciplines in dentistry where the end result is a calm and happy patient. It takes great practice and the old adage of “practice makes perfect” could not be truer.
Oral surgery is required:
| - To remove teeth or unwanted hard tissue in the mouth - To remove or remodel bone (pre-prosthetic surgery) - To remove cysts and “abscesses” - To place dental implants - Bone grafting (to replace lost bone) - To take biopsies (samples of tissue for lab analysis) - In certain cosmetic dental treatments - To repair/treat fractures of the facial bones and jaw bones |
Due to the owners of Aesthetique having over a decade of mass NHS dentistry experience, over the years, we have successfully treated tens of thousands of patients

During our time at Burmantofts, we were renowned throughout West Yorkshire as the people to see when pain; so why were we so successful?
The secrets to patient friendly oral surgery
- Identify any concerns &/or fears that the patient may have.
- Establish the causes
- NEVER trivialise them no matter how irrational they may seem
- Put the patient at ease
- MINIMISE the time spend doing the surgery – this is only possible if treated by seasoned, experienced and astute practitioners.
- “De-brief” the patient to ensure all is well.

“Is this how YOU would like to be treated?“

There is no substitute for experience in this discipline. The slick operator knows from experience, which procedures to perform, which patients to treat, and which patients and procedures to leave and which to refer to a hospital specialist.
Sedation is available for any procedure at Aesthetique but is most relevant to oral surgery.
