Mr Spencer Hodges is a highly regarded and experienced consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon, with a passion for treating conditions of the face, mouth, neck and jaws with precision to obtain the best aesthetic outcomes.  He prides himself on achieving the highest levels of care and communication with patients.
 
He has extensive experience in all areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery, with a specialist interest in facial reconstruction after skin cancer removal, correcting jaw deformity, and treating head and neck lumps.
 
A leading surgeon in the field, Mr Hodges was a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at King’s College Hospital in London for over 10 years, before becoming a full time private oral and maxillofacial surgeon in 2021.

He undertook his surgical training at internationally renowned medical teaching institutions including Guy’s Hospital, St Thomas’ Hospital and King’s College Hospital in London, Queen Victoria Hospital East Grinstead and Stoke Mandeville Hospital and was privileged to learn alongside some of the UK’s pre-eminent maxillofacial surgeons.  In 2010, he underwent further training in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on the JCST’s prestigious Interface Fellowship in Reconstructive Cosmetic Surgery.
 
Mr Hodges has a broad maxillofacial practice treating all face, mouth, neck and jaw disorders, including wisdom teeth removal, dentoalveolar procedures, temporomandibular joint conditions, facial injuries, facial pain, orthognathic & facial deformity surgery, facial cosmetic treatment, skin cancer, removal of facial lumps and bumps, head and neck lump removal and salivary gland surgery.

Unfortunately NHS Commissioning standards have changed

We are now obliged to carry out all NHS treatment on under 12’s using inhalation sedation only.

This limits the types of treatment that we may be able to carry out on NHS contract, and regrettably we cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete all of the treatment you have been referred for.

We remain compliant with National ‘IACSD’ sedation guidelines which allow us the clinical freedom to use -where necessary -alternative ‘advanced’ sedation techniques on a non- NHS (private) basis.

If it looks like treatment will not be successful under ‘basic’ sedation, the options will be to refer you onward to Community Dental Service or Hospital (where facilities allow) or back to your own dentist for the treatment to be attempted under local anasethetic, or to discuss re-referral on a private basis.

We wish to make clear that this situation is purely as a result of NHS commissioning and completely beyond our control, but assure you of our best efforts in continuing to provide high standards in NHS treatment where possible.
