Questions
Common questions
Do I need a referral to see an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?
Usually, yes. Most patients are referred by their dentist or GP, and a referral helps with the clinical detail Dr Tuckett needs before your visit. Bring any X-rays or scans you have.
What will it cost?
The cost depends on the procedure, the type of anaesthetic and where it's done, so it can only be given as general guidance until you've been assessed. If you call the rooms, our team will be happy to give you the cost of the consultation. It changes with the type of referral, and each year we adjust it to CPI.
How do I get my X-rays and scans to the rooms?
Your dentist or GP can send them with the referral, you can bring them with you, or Dr Tuckett can access most X-rays online if you tell the rooms where they were taken before your appointment.
Does Dr Tuckett operate on every patient?
No. After reviewing your referral, history, physical examination findings and imaging, and taking into account your personal wishes, Dr Tuckett often advises patients against surgery if that is in your best interests.
What happens at the first appointment?
Dr Tuckett reviews your history and imaging, examines you and explains the options, including the risks and benefits. If surgery is the right next step, the rooms will go through timing, cost and preparation with you.
How long is recovery after wisdom teeth surgery?
Most people rest for two to three days and return to work within a week. You should return to normal eating over one to two weeks. Your recovery depends on how many teeth are removed, your age and your medical history. Dr Tuckett gives you written after-care instructions on the day.
