Oral surgery at Suncoast covers the surgical side of dental care — taking out teeth, removing wisdom teeth (including impacted ones), biopsies for diagnosing suspicious tissue, and surgical preparation for procedures like implants or bone grafting. Anything that involves a scalpel, suturing, or bone work in the mouth falls under our oral surgery scope.
What sets Suncoast apart for oral surgery in the area is sedation. Most general practices that do oral surgery refer the harder cases out — wisdom teeth in particular, or surgical extractions for medically complex patients. Suncoast handles those cases in-house with full sedation options: IV moderate sedation for most surgical work, and on-site general anesthesia delivered by an anesthesiologist from London Health Sciences Centre for the most complex cases. Local dentists routinely refer surgical cases to Suncoast when sedation isn't available in their own offices.
Common procedures we handle: simple extractions of damaged or non-restorable teeth, surgical extractions of teeth that need to be sectioned to remove, wisdom teeth removal including fully impacted teeth, biopsies of suspicious lesions, surgical exposure and removal of root tips, and surgical preparation for implant placement or bone grafting. When oral surgery is part of a larger implant case, we coordinate the surgical and restorative phases together rather than splitting them across practices.
Each oral surgery category has its own detail page with timeline, sedation options, and what to expect.

Most surgical cases follow a similar pattern, with sedation and complexity scaled to your specific procedure.
Review the case, take any imaging needed (CBCT for complex cases), discuss sedation options, and plan the procedure together.
Discuss medical history, medications, and fasting requirements (if IV sedation or GA). Confirm someone is available to drive you home for sedation cases.
Performed under your chosen sedation — local for simple cases, IV moderate sedation for most surgical extractions, GA for complex multi-procedure cases or severe anxiety.
Recovery area monitoring (for sedation cases), post-op instructions, prescriptions for pain and antibiotics where needed, and a follow-up appointment scheduled.
Post-op check at 1–2 weeks to confirm healing is on track. Sutures removed if needed; further treatment scheduled if the surgery was part of a larger plan.
