Typist
Oral and maxillofacial surgery sits where medicine and dentistry meet: the specialty for the mouth, jaws and face. Our surgeons are trained and accredited in both, which is what allows us to manage everything from a straightforward wisdom tooth to complex reconstructive and corrective jaw surgery.
But technical skill is only half of it. Many people arrive anxious. From first referral to final review we plan carefully, explain clearly, and keep comfort at the centre of every decision, because the face is personal, and care should feel that way too.
Planned in 3D
Complex cases are mapped from cone-beam CT imaging and simulation before a single incision, so surgery is precise, predictable and explained in advance.
Explained plainly
Diagnosis, options and costs are set out in plain English at your consultation. You leave understanding exactly what is happening and why.
Rooted in the Hunter
Our surgeons hold consultant appointments at John Hunter Hospital and operate across the region's leading private centres. Specialist depth, close to home.
