New Forest Family Dental

Oral surgery and specialist care

Complex surgical procedures delivered on-site, without the waiting times of a hospital referral. Expert care in a calm, familiar environment.

About the service

Specialist surgical care on-site.

Our oral surgery service is available for patients requiring procedures that go beyond routine dental care - from impacted wisdom teeth and complex extractions to biopsies, cyst treatment, and implant-related surgery.

With Ms. Soudeh Chegini, Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, practising on-site, we can manage a wide range of surgical cases within our familiar practice environment. This means fewer referrals, shorter waiting times, and continuity of care.

Every surgical procedure is carefully planned, carried out with precision, and supported by comprehensive aftercare - so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.

Calm, specialist dental environment

Why choose us

Expert care in a familiar setting.

  • Specialist expertise on-site

    Our on-site Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, Ms. Soudeh Chegini, means many procedures that would otherwise require hospital referral can be performed here.

  • Minimise discomfort

    We use advanced anaesthetic techniques and offer sedation options to ensure your surgical procedure is as comfortable as possible.

  • Advanced imaging

    We use digital X-rays and can arrange CBCT (cone beam CT) scanning for detailed three-dimensional planning of complex surgical cases.

  • Medically-aware care

    We take a thorough medical history before any surgical procedure and work collaboratively with your GP or medical team where needed.

  • Full aftercare

    You'll leave with written aftercare instructions and direct contact details. We're always available to answer questions after your procedure.

  • No long wait

    Avoiding hospital waiting times is one of the key advantages of on-site specialist care. We aim to see you promptly when a referral is made.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Do I need a referral for oral surgery?

In most cases you will be referred by your dentist within the practice or by an external dentist. However, you are welcome to contact us directly if you have a specific surgical concern.

What anaesthetic options are available?

Most procedures are carried out under local anaesthetic. Intravenous (IV) sedation is available for anxious patients or more complex procedures, which allows you to remain conscious but in a deeply relaxed state.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Simple extractions may resolve in a few days; surgical extractions and more complex procedures can take one to two weeks. We'll give you specific guidance based on your treatment.

Will my treatment be covered by Denplan?

Oral surgery procedures are typically outside the scope of routine Denplan plans. We'll provide a clear fee estimate before any treatment proceeds.

Can I drive home after my appointment?

If you have intravenous sedation, you will not be able to drive home and must be accompanied by a responsible adult. For local anaesthetic only, you may drive.
