Our Oral Surgery Services
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth can become impacted, infected, or painful. We provide safe removal options, including simple and complex extractions. Your dentist will assess your teeth with digital imaging and explain the recommended approach.
Surgical Tooth Extraction
When a tooth cannot be removed conventionally—due to fracture, impaction, or anatomy—a surgical extraction may be required. We ensure you understand the procedure and aftercare before treatment begins.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long‑term option for replacing missing teeth. Dr Elfar has advanced training in implant dentistry and bone grafting, allowing him to provide implant placement and related procedures with careful planning and supportive care.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting may be recommended when additional support is needed for implants or to restore areas affected by tooth loss. We will discuss the type of graft, expected healing time, and your personalised treatment plan.
Sinus Lift Procedures
A sinus lift may be required when placing implants in the upper jaw. This procedure gently creates space for bone grafting to support implant stability.
Exposure of Impacted Teeth
For orthodontic or functional reasons, impacted teeth may need to be surgically exposed. This is commonly performed for canines that have not erupted naturally.
Oral Pathology & Biopsies
If you have a lesion, lump, or area of concern, your dentist may recommend a biopsy to support diagnosis and treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does oral surgery hurt during the procedure?
A: The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the surgical area completely. You will be conscious but should not feel sharp pain. You may feel pressure and movement.
Q: How long is the recovery after wisdom teeth removal?
A: Recovery generally takes 3 to 7 days. Most patients can return to work or school and resume normal light activities within 2-3 days. You should avoid strenuous physical activity, smoking, and using a straw for at least 5-7 days to prevent dry socket. Swelling typically peaks at 24-48 hours and then subsides. Your dentist will provide a detailed post-operative care sheet and schedule a follow-up appointment.
Q: What are the signs I need my wisdom teeth removed?
A: Common signs include:
Pain or throbbing in the back of the jaw
Swelling or redness of the gums around the wisdom tooth area
Difficulty opening your mouth fully
Bad breath or an unpleasant taste
Crowding or shifting of other teeth
However, impacted wisdom teeth can be asymptomatic. A dental X-ray is the only way to definitively assess their position and risk. We recommend an evaluation for all patients aged 16-25.
Q: Are dental implants painful?
A: The implant placement procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is generally less painful than a tooth extraction. Most patients report mild to moderate post-operative discomfort, which can be effectively managed with over-the-counter pain medication (e.g., ibuprofen or paracetamol) for 1-3 days. Your dentist will prescribe or recommend appropriate pain relief and anti-inflammatory medication.
Q: What sedation options are available for anxious patients?
Yes, sedation options are available for patients who feel anxious or prefer additional comfort.
Q: When can I return to normal eating after oral surgery?
A: On the day of surgery, stick to a liquid or very soft diet (e.g., water, broth, smoothies, yoghurt). From day 2, you can progress to soft foods (e.g., pasta, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs). Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods for at least a week. You should avoid chewing on the surgical site until your follow-up visit.
Q: Is a bone graft necessary for every dental implant?
A: No, bone grafting is only required if there is insufficient bone volume to securely place and integrate the implant. This is assessed using 3D imaging. If needed, we use high-quality bone graft materials (either synthetic or derived from a tissue bank) that are FDA- and TGA-approved to regenerate lost bone in the jaw.
Q: How much does oral surgery cost in Belconnen?
A: The cost varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, the type of anaesthesia used, and your individual treatment plan. During your consultation, Dr. Elfar will provide a detailed quote after your assessment. We can also discuss payment options and any available health fund rebates.
