Common questions

Private oral surgeons typically earn £80,000–£160,000 depending on caseload and whether they perform implant surgery.

Are Oral Surgeon positions in demand in the UK?

Yes. Complex extractions and implant cases are regularly referred from general practices, and many regions lack accessible surgical specialists.
