Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Procedures
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a complex specialty that bridges the gap between dentistry, medicine and surgery. The speciality deals with the surgical management of conditions of the teeth, mouth, face and jaw – including defects, injuries and aesthetic reconstruction. All our surgeons are registered with AHPRA as specialists in the field of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and hold degrees in Medicine and Dentistry, as well as their surgical qualification. They divide their time between their private practice as well as holding appointments at major teaching and research hospitals and institutions across Victoria.
