When a surgical procedure is planned, examination and imaging come first. Please share your medicines, allergies and general health in full.

On the day, follow any advice about eating, drinking and medicines. Having someone available to take you home can be more comfortable after some procedures.

You will be given personal advice on biting, smoking and hot foods. Some swelling or mild discomfort is possible; increasing pain, fever or unexpected bleeding should be reported to the practice.

Not every surgical procedure is the same. Your plan is discussed after examination.

Information on this page is for general guidance. The right treatment for you is decided by your dentist after examination and any necessary tests.
