At Peartree Clinic Welwyn, our bespoke oral surgical care helps keep your mouth in top condition, restoring function and removing pain.
Oral surgery is a specialised branch of dentistry that involves diagnosing and treating mouth, teeth, gums, and jaw conditions.
It is often used for the placement of implants, the removal of wisdom teeth, and more complex extractions that require the expertise of a trained oral surgeon. Our jaw surgeon, Dr Ashish Patel, has many years of experience and has further developed his skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional surgical treatment and care.
Peartree Clinic is dedicated to providing all our patients with tailored and comfortable oral care in our welcoming and relaxed practice atmosphere.
Our oral surgeon is highly skilled at successfully performing the following procedures:
Complex Tooth Extractions: In complex cases, such as where the tooth is very large, broken, or embedded in the gum, a simple extraction process is not sufficient, and surgical extraction is needed. We numb the affected area and make a small incision in your gum, enabling the tooth to be removed. More prominent teeth may need to be removed in parts.
Wisdom Tooth Removal: If you have a wisdom tooth that is causing you pain, is growing at the wrong angle, or has become stuck or impacted, it will need to be removed. Wisdom tooth removal is a very common oral surgical procedure, often needed to prevent potential complications and preserve your oral health.
Our oral surgeon is skilled at removing tricky teeth that other dentists can’t manage. We often need to cut your gum to take the whole tooth out safely, but this is performed carefully, using local anaesthetic to manage any discomfort.

Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery. Generally, you can expect to return to normal activities within a few days to a week. Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including tips for managing swelling and discomfort.
The duration of a tooth extraction can vary, but most procedures take between 20 to 40 minutes. Complex extractions may take longer. Your oral surgeon will provide an estimated time based on your specific case during your consultation.
Before your surgery, follow any instructions provided by your surgeon, such as fasting if sedation will be used. Arrange for someone to drive you home if you will be sedated. It’s also a good idea to prepare a comfortable recovery area at home with any necessary supplies like ice packs and soft foods.
After oral surgery, it’s best to stick to soft foods like yoghurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies for the first few days. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods that could irritate the surgical site. Your surgeon will give you detailed dietary guidelines to follow during your recovery.
