What this surgery actually does.
Lesions of the jaw and oral cavity range from harmless to life-changing. Speed of diagnosis matters. We perform incisional and excisional biopsies in clinic, with results from our partner laboratory typically within five working days.
Common cases include odontogenic cysts (radicular, dentigerous, keratocystic), benign tumours (ameloblastoma, fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma), salivary gland pathology and pre-malignant lesions of the oral mucosa.
Where surgery is required, we plan reconstruction at the same sitting — bone grafting from the iliac crest, mandibular plating, or for larger defects, vascularised free flaps coordinated with our microvascular colleagues. Patients leave with a clear pathway, not a referral letter.

Who this is for, and who it isn't.
A truthful filter — not a sales pitch. If you don't fit, we will say so.
- Persistent oral lesion lasting more than two weeks
- Radiographic finding of jaw cyst or radiolucent lesion
- Salivary gland swelling or persistent dry mouth
- Previously biopsied lesion requiring definitive management
- Oncology referral for second surgical opinion
From first message to final review.
- Step 01
Clinical and radiographic assessment
Examination, panoramic and CBCT imaging. MRI or ultrasound for soft-tissue and salivary cases.
- Step 02
Biopsy
Performed in clinic under local. Histopathology reported within 5 working days by our partner pathology service.
- Step 03
Multidisciplinary review
Where indicated, presented at the regional head-and-neck MDT before definitive surgery.
- Step 04
Definitive surgery
Enucleation, marginal or segmental resection as required. Immediate reconstruction wherever possible.
- Step 05
Surveillance
Structured follow-up imaging schedule. Communication with referring dentist or physician at every stage.
