While tooth extractions in South East London are one of the most common oral surgery procedures, surgical care at London Dental Arts extends beyond removal alone.
Oral surgery may also be required to manage:
In each case, the goal is not simply removal but resolution of the underlying problem, while preserving surrounding bone, gum health, and future treatment options.
Oral surgery at London Dental Arts is led by Dr Bizhan Shokouhi, a registered Specialist Oral Surgeon with extensive experience managing both routine and complex surgical cases.
His approach emphasises:
This specialist overview is particularly important where extractions form a wider part of implant planning, bone grafting, or full-mouth rehabilitation.
One of the key differences at London Dental Arts is how oral surgery is planned. Where appropriate, 4D diagnostic technology is used to assess jaw movement, bite dynamics, and functional forces before surgical decisions are made. This allows the team to understand how teeth and jaws behave in motion, not just at rest.
For patients, this means:
Technology here is used as a decision-support tool, not a selling point, helping surgical care integrate smoothly into longer-term treatment plans.
For many patients, anxiety is as significant as the procedure itself. London Dental Arts offers sedation dentistry as part of its oral surgery service, where clinically appropriate.
Sedation may be considered for patients who:
Whether patients are undergoing a bone graft or sinus lift before implant treatment or require one or more tooth extractions here in South East London, sedation is planned carefully and delivered within strict clinical protocols, always prioritising patient safety, comfort, and informed consent.
Any oral surgery, including tooth extractions, is always carried out with a focus on predictability and recovery. Patients are guided clearly on:
Where extractions are part of implant or restorative planning, the next steps are discussed in advance, including temporary replacements, so patients are never left uncertain about what comes next.
London Dental Arts is also trusted by dentists across Lewisham, Dulwich, and wider London to manage complex oral surgery and extraction cases for patients not registered with us.
Referrals are handled collaboratively, with:
This referral-led role reflects the depth of surgical experience and integrated care available at London Dental Arts under one roof.

Preserving bone is a key consideration during oral surgery. Where appropriate, extraction techniques are chosen to minimise trauma to surrounding bone and soft tissues. In some cases, socket preservation or future grafting strategies are discussed in advance to support long-term stability, particularly if implants or restorative treatment may be planned later.
Sometimes, yes. While tooth preservation is always considered first, there are situations where a tooth has a poor long-term prognosis due to infection, structural damage, or repeated failure. In these cases, extraction can offer a more predictable outcome and prevent ongoing discomfort or repeated treatment. Decisions are made carefully, with long-term function and stability in mind.
Oral surgery can influence bite dynamics, particularly when extractions are part of wider restorative or rehabilitative care. This is why surgical decisions at London Dental Arts are planned within the context of overall bite function, jaw movement, and future treatment. Where necessary, advanced diagnostics are used to reduce the risk of post-surgical bite issues.
Previous complications don’t automatically prevent further treatment, but they do require careful reassessment. Factors such as healing response, bone quality, infection history, and bite forces are reviewed in detail. London Dental Arts regularly manages referral cases involving previous surgical difficulties, with planning focused on addressing underlying causes before proceeding.
If you’ve been advised that you need a tooth extraction or oral surgery in South East London, an in-depth assessment can clarify what’s required and how to proceed.
At London Dental Arts, surgical care is delivered with clarity, confidence, and respect for your comfort at every stage.

Dr Arman & Dr Amir always do a phenomenal job, I’ve been getting dental treatment from Dr Arman for 7-8 years now and travel from Wimbledon to come to this practice. So happy with their attention to detail & exceptional customer service!
As ever, amazing service!
Everyone is always so polite, so helpful, and explain everything to me and do work that I know I can rely on.
With a busy schedule, often out of the UK, I’m not the easiest patient, but I know I can always rely on Dental Arts :-)
Thank you to all the dentists and the whole team!
Happy Anniversary!
I had the best experience with the team at London Dental Arts and couldn’t be happier with my results! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to help me achieve the smile I’d been hoping for.
Dr Arman Barfeie guided me through every stage of my composite bonding procedure, making sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout. His attention to detail, care and artistry were to such a high standard, and he really took the time to create the natural-looking smile I wanted. It was really clear that he genuinely cares about the quality of his work and achieving the best possible results for his patients.
I also had teeth whitening, which I was really pleased with. The reception team were equally lovely, always friendly and welcoming, and happy to offer helpful advice on aftercare and the whitening process. I felt genuinely looked after by everyone.
What really stood out to me was how much the whole team listened to what I wanted and took the time to understand my needs. I walked away feeling so happy and confident with my results. I couldn’t recommend London Dental Arts more highly!
My appointments are always very pleasant and everybody there is very kind.
I have always been a bit scared of dentists, but Jasmine is the first one I have met that genuinely makes me feel like she has my best wellbeing at heart. She's kind, manages my expectations and listens to my limits and helps me manage my pain (if there is any) she's communicative and shows me what she's doing / explains things clearly. She's great. 10/10 do recommend.
