Wisdom Teeth Removal& oral surgery in the North East
NHS and private oral surgery, with clear guidance on costs every step of the way
Some smiles need a little extra support. If you are 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 at every step.
Our dentists are experienced in routine oral surgery such as dental extractions, and more complex cases are carried out by Oral Surgeons who are registered Specialists with the GDC. Wherever your treatment sits, we will monitor and manage the health of your smile over time.
What is oral surgery?
Oral surgery is the diagnosis, treatment and management of issues with the mouth and jaws that need surgical care, in both adults and children. Routine procedures such as straightforward extractions are carried out by our dentists, while more complex treatment, such as impacted wisdom teeth, is handled by our GDC-registered Specialist Oral Surgeons. Treatment is provided under local anaesthetic, with or without sedation to help you feel sleepy and relaxed.
Our treatment options include:
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Surgical extraction of teeth
- Uncovering of teeth
- Removal of cysts
- Removal of benign soft-tissue lesions, such as polyps
Wisdom teeth removal
Your wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 25. Most people do not have enough room for them to grow naturally, so they may need to be 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 return to normal activity within a few days, though full recovery can take up to three weeks. At your consultation we take an x-ray and your surgeon talks through all your options, as well as the procedure itself.
Wisdom teeth removal on the NHS
At Queensway Dental Clinic we have provided a full-time NHS oral surgery service for over a decade. You can book a consultation at our practice to see whether you qualify for treatment on the NHS.
Queensway Durham & Darlington Oral Surgery Service (QDDOSS) and Queensway Teesside Oral Surgery Service (QTOSS) are both NHS services for people needing oral surgery in the County Durham, Darlington and Tees regions.
Private oral surgery costs
Alongside our NHS services, we offer private oral surgery, including wisdom teeth removal, for patients who prefer shorter wait times or advanced sedation options.
A private consultation costs £90 and includes any necessary x-rays. During this appointment we talk you through your treatment options and sedation preferences, and provide a clear, personalised quote. Costs vary depending on complexity and sedation type, but we always explain everything upfront, with no hidden fees or surprises. Should you wish to go ahead, a deposit is required to secure your treatment.
