Help for painful or damaged nails
Pain from an ingrown toenail can make shoes miserable and even a short walk feel like hard work. We carry out nail surgery at Sophie Dyne / Benfleet Chiropody & Podiatry in Benfleet for ingrown toenails and nails that are badly damaged, with treatment completed under local anaesthetic. Your initial assessment happens at our surgery, so we can examine the nail properly and explain what needs to happen before treatment begins.
That matters when the problem keeps returning, the nail edge is digging into the skin, or damage has left the nail difficult to manage at home. We aim to make the procedure straightforward, calm, and clearly explained from the start. With more than 25 years of experience, we know how much relief the right treatment can bring when every step has become a nuisance.
What your appointment includes
Our fee starts from £400 and covers more than the procedure itself. At Sophie Dyne / Benfleet Chiropody & Podiatry, we include your initial assessment, the nail surgery, and two post-op reviews, so you know your recovery is being checked properly. As part of our comprehensive chiropody and podiatry services, we focus on delivering ongoing support before, during, and after treatment.
Those follow-up appointments give us time to look at healing, change dressings if needed, and answer any questions that come up once you're back on your feet. A local anaesthetic is used during the procedure to numb the area before treatment begins. That means we stay focused on resolving the problem at hand rather than leaving you to manage the aftermath on your own.
Why proper nail surgery matters
A deeply ingrown or badly damaged nail rarely settles for long if the root problem is still there. We carry out treatment in a clinical setting, which gives you a cleaner and more controlled option than trying to cope with repeated pain at home.
Aftercare is part of the process, so you're not left guessing how healing should look. That extra review time can be especially helpful if you've been putting off treatment because the idea of surgery has felt daunting. Contact us to discuss your symptoms and find out whether nail surgery is the most suitable treatment option for you.
