Dr Laura Collins

Dr Laura Collins is a Specialist in Oral Surgery with more than a decade of hospital experience across multiple NHS Trusts. Her clinical practice encompasses the full breadth of oral surgery, including complex dental extractions, dental implantology, management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, and paediatric oral surgery. She is committed to delivering safe, evidence-based care and is known for her calm, reassuring manner with patients of all ages.

Much of Dr Collins’ work is hospital-based, where she provides consultant-led oral surgery treatments under local anaesthetic and intravenous sedation. Her practice focuses on high-quality, efficient, and patient-centred care, with particular expertise in managing patients with significant dental anxiety or previous traumatic dental experiences. In primary care settings, she has developed a strong reputation for supporting anxious and phobic patients, using a combination of behavioural techniques, clear communication, and sedation where appropriate to help individuals access the treatment they need comfortably and confidently.

Alongside her clinical commitments, Dr Collins is deeply engaged in education and service development. She holds an MSc in Higher Professional Education and contributes to postgraduate training through the University of Bristol’s Certificate in Sedation and Anxiety Management. She also provides oral surgery teaching for undergraduate dental students at Cardiff Dental Hospital, where she is recognised for her structured, supportive approach to clinical teaching.

Her dedication to improving patient pathways and advancing standards of care has been acknowledged nationally. Her work on sepsis management earned the BAOMS Associate Fellows Prize, and she has received an HQIP award for her contributions to sustainability in dentistry—reflecting her commitment to innovation, quality improvement, and responsible clinical practice.

Dr Collins combines clinical precision with a compassionate, patient-focused ethos. Whether treating complex surgical cases or supporting anxious patients through routine procedures, she prioritises clear communication, personalised care, and a positive treatment experience.

She is committed to advancing oral surgery treatments that are accessible, safe, and efficient for all patients, and she brings this commitment to every aspect of her work in both hospital and primary care settings.
