At Tudor House Dental in Tarvin, Chester, our oral surgeon performs medical procedures on the teeth, gums, and jaw, including surgical extractions and dental implant procedures.
Oral surgery is often the next step when a dental problem cannot be rectified with routine dentistry alone. From extracting broken or impacted wisdom teeth to rebuilding lost jawbone and placing implants, our oral surgeon can assess, plan, and manage a range of oral surgery cases.
Oral surgery sounds daunting, but it’s often completed chairside under local anaesthetic for patients who’ve been told their tooth is too difficult to remove, including removing trapped wisdom teeth, placing dental implants or rebuilding thin jawbone.

Dr Giedre Valantine qualified as a dental surgeon in 2004, earning her Master’s degree in Odontology and the Doctor of Odontology qualification from Kaunas University of Medicine, including a study period at Cardiff University.
Her passion for implantology led her to complete a Master’s in Dental Specialities (Implantology) at the University of Manchester from 2010 to 2012. This has allowed her to provide high-quality, evidence-based implant treatments focused on long-term patient outcomes.
Dr Valantine is happy to treat from a single implant to more advanced and challenging cases, including bone grafting procedures. She regularly attends international courses and conferences to stay up to date with the latest advances.
Oral surgery involves surgical procedures affecting the teeth, gums, jawbone and mouth. Common procedures include surgical tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement and bone grafting.
Oral surgery generally focuses on surgical procedures within the mouth, such as extractions and implant-related surgery. Maxillofacial surgery covers a broader range of conditions involving the jaws and facial structures and can include hospital-based operations such as corrective jaw surgery.
Yes. Our team can assess teeth that are broken, impacted or otherwise more complicated to remove.
We can assess problematic wisdom teeth and determine whether removal is required. More complex cases may require additional imaging or a specialist referral, depending on their position and anatomy.
We use local anaesthetic to thoroughly numb the treatment area. You may still feel pressure or movement, but you should not feel sharp pain during treatment.

Corrective jaw surgery falls within the wider field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Significant jaw realignment procedures are typically specialist, hospital-based treatments, so your dentist can assess the problem and advise on the appropriate referral pathway where required.
