Our expert and highly sought after London oral surgeon consultant, Mr Anish Shah, performs root canal surgery at our state-of-the-art clinic at 75 Harley Street.
Root canal surgery (also known as surgical endodontics) may be required when the system at the centre of a tooth has become damaged or infected.
Some, more complex tooth extractions may require the skills of an oral surgeon. Our oral surgeon has over 20 years experience and is qualified to perform a wide range of surgical dentistry procedures including complex extractions.
Our expert team in Harley Street will be able to guide you through the entire process.
Each of your adult teeth is anchored to your jawbone by up to four roots. These hold your teeth firmly in place and are bound to your jawbone by a fibrous ligament called the periodontal ligament. When a dentist extracts a tooth, these roots are usually removed at the same time.
However, when the loss of a tooth is brought about by decay or accident, some or all of the tooth roots can remain buried in the jaw bone and gums with a possibility of a risk of infection and pain.
Following a consultation with our dental team, you may be referred to our Harley Street Oral Surgeon for retained root removal surgery.
At 75 Harley Street, our specialist consultant oral surgeon, Mr Anish Shah, is experienced in both the diagnosis and removal of jaw cysts. Cysts of the jaw are slow growing and often do not present symptoms so it is important to make sure that you have regular dental health checks, including x-rays, at our London clinic.
Cysts develop in different oral areas, including the mouth lining and jawbone, come in different types and may cause oral damage if left untreated. Our oral surgeon will be able to locate and identify cysts of the jaw and surgically remove them under either local or general anaesthetic.
Orthodontic procedures at our clinic involve the correction and prevention of teeth irregularities or deformities. Successful orthodontic treatment is often a combination of different procedures that work together to achieve the desired result.
Our consultant oral surgeon Mr Anish Shah is qualified to perform minor surgical orthodontic procedures at our Harley Street clinic.
Mouth lesions are areas of the mouth that have been damaged either through injury or by disease and can be painful. Patients with mouth lesions who visit 75 Harley Street are sometimes advised that removal and biopsy are recommended.
Our specialist oral surgeon, Mr Anish Shah, is experienced at this type of oral surgery and will advise, when you visit our clinic, as to whether or not a biopsy of the tissue is necessary.
Mouth ulcers (also known as oral ulceration) are amongst the most common oral conditions. Mouth ulcers can have multiple causes, including areas of abrasion inside the mouth and existing medical or health conditions, and are usually painful.
We strongly recommend that our dental team review mouth ulcers that fail to recover after 3 weeks. Our oral surgeon can treat some longer-term mouth ulcers with permanent and effective results and follow up hygiene appointments are available at our Harley Street clinic.
Lichen planus is a non-infectious inflammatory condition that presents as a mixture of red and white patches or a white, filigree pattern in the mouth. Around 1-2% of the population are affected by lichen planus, which can cause some discomfort.
When you visit our clinic, our oral surgeon may recommend a small biopsy to ascertain a correct diagnosis before discussing treatment options for lichen planus. This biopsy can be performed at our London clinic.
The symptoms of burning mouth syndrome (BMS) can be distressing. Patients, more commonly women, who visit us, often describe a sore mouth, a bitter taste or a burning sensation.
Our specialist oral surgeon will advise you on possible contributory factors to BMS, which include nutritional deficiencies, menopause, diabetes and even depression or anxiety.
A blood test may be recommended before treatment, this is available at our Harley Street clinic.
Chronic orofacial pain can have many causes and may include pain in the head and neck regions as well as pain in the mouth. Our Harley Street oral surgeon, Mr Anish Shah has considerable experience in identifying the causes of orofacial pain and recommending treatment to either deal with the reason for pain or alleviate it.
Assessments for orofacial pain may require more than one visit to our dental practice. During these assessment visits you will be asked questions about your level of pain, it’s location and the impact it has on your lifestyle.
You may be asked to keep a pain diary. Our expert oral surgeon will keep you informed about diagnoses and potential treatment options as your assessment progresses.
Dry mouth (Xerostomia) can be extremely frustrating and has numerous causes. Dry mouth can cause additional complications such as soreness in the mouth, halitosis, an altered sense of taste, tooth decay and gum disease.
If this becomes a problem for you please consult our oral surgeon who will be able to offer dry mouth help and advice.
Hyper-salivation or the production of excess saliva can be an indicator of a more serious, underlying health problem but there are recommended treatments that can help with this irritating and sometimes debilitating problem.
We recommend an early visit to our clinic at 75 Harley Street, London to investigate causal issues.
No matter what type of oral surgery you may need, our expert dental team will do everything they can to ensure you are happy at every stage of the process.

"I had two wisdom teeth removed by Mr Anish Shah. I had a very pleasant experience, all the staff were cheerful and made me feel very comfortable. I was quite nervous but everyone at 75 Harley Street made me feel at ease. I would recommend their service."
"I would like to convey my sincere thanks to Mr Shah and his team for the excellent treatment that I received recently. I believed that having a wisdom tooth removed was never going to be a pleasant experience but Mr Shah and his team were so reassuring and professional that I felt no pain whatsoever and three days later I am only mildly aware of the area around the removed tooth.
I would strongly recommend Mr Shah and his team at 75 Harley Street.
Sincerely Les Brown"
"Very impressed with the price and the level of professionalism and how caring Dr Anish Shah was when removing my tooth. A great dentist in a lovely environment."
