At Beaulieu Dental, we offer minor oral surgery. Our surgeon, Dr. Hari Polina, is highly experienced in performing a wide range of oral surgical procedures. With a patient-centred approach, Dr. Polina ensures that every procedure is carried out safely and comfortably, using the latest techniques and technology to deliver the best possible outcomes.
The advantage of our Minor Oral Surgery service is that you can have the treatment carried out in the comfort of our dental practice rather than being referred to a hospital. Additionally, the waiting times for any treatment are substantially lower.
All minor oral surgery procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, where the patient receives an injection into the gum but remains fully awake. Most patients find that the anticipation of the procedure is often worse than the actual procedure itself. Our highly trained staff are available to support patients throughout the process. For particularly nervous patients, we can offer sedation in addition to local anaesthesia.
