Find out what to expect when you come to hospital for your oral surgery and restorative dentistry service appointment.

Before your appointment

Please bring your repeat prescription and any questions that you have for the oral surgeon.

You are welcome to bring a relative, close friend or carer with you to your appointment.

During your appointment

On arrival, please go to the reception desk in the oral surgery / ear, nose and throat outpatients department located on the first floor of the south wing.

We are a busy department and sometimes our waiting times may be up to one hour. We will let you know of any delay to your appointment.

Please note that you may not be treated on the day of your appointment. In most cases, you will have an initial consultation with the clinical team prior to any surgery.

Your inpatient stay Your stay in hospital

You may need to stay at one of our hospitals to have a procedure or receive treatment, either overnight as an inpatient or during the day as a day patient. Ahead of your inpatient stay, you will usually need to attend a pre-operative assessment appointment.
