Dr Suresh Somasundaran. GDC: 180539

Our oral surgeon Suresh is especially equipped in dealing with nervous and anxious patients and is on hand, alongside Andrew and his team to help you through every step of your oral surgery appointment. Our aim is to make your procedure as smooth and pain free as possible.

Sometimes a dental practice may suggest a referral to your local hospital for minor oral surgery procedures, such as tooth extractions. On some occasions, a hospital referral can be avoided and the procedure can be done on a private basis, under local anaesthetic by a highly skilled oral surgeon at an independent dental practice.
If you have been advised you will need a referral to your local hospital for any oral surgery procedures or dental treatment and wish to find out more about your options please contact us and we will be happy to talk to you in more detail about what we can offer you.
Suresh’s private treatments include:
- Simple and complex tooth extractions
- Wisdom tooth extractions
- Surgical Endodontics (root canal)
- Biopsies
- Removal of soft tissue abnormalities
