Ocean Surgical Pty Ltd first opened its rooms in Newcastle in February 2003, and relocated to a purpose built, state-of-the-art oral & maxillofacial surgical facility at The Boardwalk, Honeysuckle, Newcastle (NSW, Australia) in April 2004.

We feature highly trained staff, state-of-the-art equipment, and specialist surgical facilities for the provision of surgical procedures under both local anaesthesia and intravenous sedation, and for surgical conditions of the mouth, face and jaws. Our suites are augmented by our relationships with private hospitals that provide full general anaesthesia and in-hospital admission services. 

As an entire package, Ocean Surgical is able to provide the full range of oral & maxillofacial surgical services to the community of Newcastle and its surroundings. We can even arrange overnight accommodation for those who require it, and who may be traveling from NSW areas further afield than the surrounding Hunter region.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery includes wisdom teeth removal, dental implant management, bone, mucosal and gingival grafting, TMJ management, facial fracture management and much more. All surgical services involving the mouth, face and jaws are offered at our premises.

We employ surgeons, medical practitioners, general dentists, nurses and patient managers, as well as coordinate the combined activities of sedationists, anaesthetists and treating specialists to provide safe and complication free Oral & Maxillofacial surgery.

We recommend all our patients access this site to gain a deeper, and more comprehensive understanding of their condition, and the nature of the specialty surgical service which aims to treat them.
