Oral surgery aftercare guide provides the essential steps to manage your recovery and protect your healing. We explain how to handle the days following your procedure to a professional standard.
Healing times vary by procedure. A consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde determines your specific recovery window and the precise steps you must take to avoid complications.

Persistent pain or crowding often means wisdom teeth removal is necessary. You might feel a dull ache or pressure as molars push against other teeth. We provide oral surgery in London to resolve these issues, including surgical extractions and simple or multiple teeth removal. Our team follows strict infection prevention protocols to keep you safe. Dr Sodeinde and our specialists use diagnostic imaging to identify oral pathologies accurately and manage your condition with precision.

Choosing the right surgical approach prevents complications. We provide specialist-led planning so your recovery is predictable and stable. This precision is critical for complex cases, such as surgical extractions or biopsy procedures. The specialist periodontist oversees the clinical strategy to reduce risks.
Cost is often a primary concern for patients. We provide pricing transparency through a diagnosis-first consultation, identifying the exact clinical need before presenting an itemised fee. You receive a clear breakdown of fees based on your specific requirements, with no surprises.

Many people feel a sense of hesitation or anxiety before booking surgery. We understand that the fear of the dentist is a common barrier to care. Whether you require simple tooth extractions or more complex procedures, we focus on making the experience predictable. We provide a calm environment to help you feel at ease during your visit.
Our team assesses each patient individually to determine the safest approach. This includes evaluating the risk of nerve damage or managing a serious diagnosis. For those requiring oral cancer screening, we provide the necessary clinical oversight for an accurate plan. Your specialist periodontist brings precision to every case to protect your long-term health.

The first few hours after your procedure are the most critical. You get a detailed plan to manage post-procedure pain and swelling. This includes specific guidance on resting and avoiding strenuous activity to protect the surgical site.
Proper care prevents complications. We explain how to keep the area clean without disturbing the healing tissue. For those undergoing multiple teeth extraction, this includes a tailored timeline for oral hygiene.
Some patients benefit from advanced healing aids. We can integrate platelet-rich plasma therapy to support the body's natural repair process. This helps stabilise the site and can reduce the number of follow-up visits required.
We schedule a review to check the tissue is knitting correctly. During this visit, the clinician assesses the site for any signs of infection or delayed healing, keeping your recovery on track.
We use 3D imaging technology to plan surgeries and check optimal placement. These standards apply to our full range of procedures, including wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, simple tooth extractions, and multiple teeth extraction, led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Our patients value a calm, unhurried manner and honest options during no-pressure consultations, whether you are here for a routine check or wisdom teeth removal.
