Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons treat conditions of the mouth, face and jaws.

These three areas are closely interlinked. It is difficult to separate treating a surgical condition of the teeth without treating the mouth and jaws. Similarly treating the jaws is intimately linked with treating the face.

Many practitioners refer to Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, including Dental Surgeons (general dentists), Ear Nose & Throat Surgeons, Head & Neck Surgeons, Plastic Surgeons, and general medical practitioners. Depending on the service that referred you, there may be a different style of request, or a different emphasis on your treatment needs.

Your referral, however specific, usually requires an initial consultation to provide an overall view of your mouth, face, and jaws. This surgical service is best managed by an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons take many years to train. We only employ surgeons who are specialists, qualified in Medicine, and who can provide maximal exposure to all potential Medicare rebates and medical insurance coverage. Only medically trained surgeons can offer overall maximal coverage to all facets of your medical and surgical care.
