Jaw Cysts & Tumour Surgery
Accurate diagnosis and surgical removal of jaw cysts and tumours, often discovered incidentally on a routine X-ray.
What it involves
Jaw cysts and tumours are frequently found by chance during a dental X-ray, long before they cause symptoms. Diagnosis comes first — through imaging and, where indicated, biopsy — followed by a surgical plan sized to the growth itself, since jaw surgery ranges from a small, straightforward enucleation to a more extensive procedure depending on size and location.
BenefitsWhy patients choose this treatment
- Accurate diagnosis before any surgical decision is made
- Surgical approach matched to the size and location of the growth
- Protects surrounding nerves, teeth and bone structure
- Follow-up care to monitor healing and lab results
What to expect, step by step
- DiagnosisImaging and, where needed, a biopsy confirm the nature of the growth.
- Surgical PlanningThe removal approach is planned around size, location and proximity to nerves.
- Surgical RemovalThe cyst or tumour is carefully removed under appropriate anaesthesia.
- Follow-UpHealing is monitored and biopsy results are reviewed with you.
Signs this treatment may help you
- A cyst identified incidentally on a dental X-ray
- A growth or swelling noticed in the jaw or gum
- Persistent unexplained swelling in the oral cavity
- A referral for a suspicious jaw lesion
Healing & aftercare
Recovery depends on the size and location of the growth removed. Mild swelling is normal in the days after surgery, with follow-up visits scheduled to monitor healing and review any lab findings.
FAQFrequently asked questions

Not always — many procedures are planned specifically to preserve nearby teeth where possible.
This depends on size and complexity; many cases are managed under local anaesthesia with sedation options.
A biopsy is often what distinguishes them — this is explained clearly once results are available.
