Nerve repositioning in London

Identifying jaw and nerve concerns

Persistent pain or swelling in the jaw can be frustrating when the cause is not immediately clear. We use current diagnostic imaging to accurately identify oral pathologies. This precision is vital for those experiencing chronic TMD symptoms or jaw abnormalities. If you require oral surgery in London, we provide a range of interventions including surgical extractions and wisdom teeth removal to resolve crowding and inflammation. Our team follows strict infection prevention protocols throughout the process. A consultation with Dr Sodeinde allows us to assess your specific anatomy and determine the most appropriate treatment option for your needs.

Specialist-led surgical planning

Choosing the wrong surgical approach can lead to permanent nerve damage. We mitigate this risk through specialist-led planning, where the specialist periodontist oversees the diagnostic process to map the precise path of the nerve. This level of oversight is critical for complex cases, including computer guided surgery to increase accuracy.

Cost is a primary concern for most patients. You get a diagnosis-first consultation so you only pay for the necessary intervention. This transparent approach extends to our other oral services, such as scar revision, soft tissue injuries repair, and dental injuries treatment.

Who can benefit from this surgery

Many people feel anxious about the possibility of nerve damage or a serious diagnosis. We understand that these concerns can make the idea of oral surgery feel daunting. We can explain how this procedure creates the necessary space for implants by moving the nerve safely. If you are unsure which oral surgery procedures fit your needs, we can help you decide. An examination with your specialist periodontist determines if you are a candidate for this specific approach.

Your path to nerve repositioning

Mapping the nerve location

We begin by identifying the exact position of the nerve. This stage shows whether you are suitable for the procedure. We use this data to plan the movement of the nerve, ensuring it is clear of the area where you need further work, such as surgical extractions.

The repositioning procedure

We carefully move the nerve to a new position. This is a precise surgical action. We are honest about the fact that complications can occur with any surgery, so we discuss these risks with you beforehand.

Managing post-surgical comfort

Recovery involves a period of healing. Some patients find the time between visits a concern, but we provide a clear timeline for your follow-up. We use anaesthesia for patients who feel anxious during the procedure.

Clinical review of the site

We monitor the area to check the nerve has settled in its new position. This review confirms the site is stable, and that the nerve is safely away from the target area before any subsequent dental work begins.

Final assessment for further work

Once the nerve is repositioned and healed, we perform a final check. This confirms the path is clear. We then coordinate with your other clinicians to proceed with your remaining treatment plan.

Clinical precision in oral surgery

We use 3D imaging technology to plan surgery and check optimal placement. These procedures are led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), whose surgical work includes extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and implant surgery.

Clinical outcomes and professional standards

Our reputation is built on a calm, unhurried manner and a commitment to honest options. We provide no-pressure consultations.

Our focus remains on the professionalism of the care provided. We understand that anxiety is a common concern for those requiring oral surgery. We aim for a supportive environment and clear communication throughout your visit.

A consultation means we can assess your specific anatomy and determine if this procedure is suitable for you. We can then discuss the expected timeframe and costs for your case. To arrange an assessment, you can book an appointment or call 020 7589 7792.
