What Is An Oral And Maxillofacial Surgeon?

 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Melbourne are highly specialized in fields of both dentistry and medicine which requires at least 4 years of post-graduate study and practical experience. At OMFS Services Pty Ltd “OMFS” our surgeons are recognised as some of the best in their field, with associations and affiliations to the leading teaching hospitals in the country. Our surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of oral diseases, trauma and conditions.

Our practice, located in the heart of Melbourne’s Medical District at 766 Elizabeth Street, caters for every facet of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Our patients can rest assured that our knowledge and skills are beyond question and we are equipped to meet all oral surgery needs from the most complicated to relatively simple cases. No matter what the diagnosis our patients are treated with respect and dignity.

Our services include consultations and second opinions, medico-legal reporting, local anesthetic procedures in an office environment, and general anesthetic procedures

Oral Surgery

Oral surgery may be necessary for a number of different reasons. Often oral surgery is undertaken when one or more teeth need to be removed or the tissue surrounding the teeth needs to be modified in order to complement effective eruption of teeth and growth.

Depending on the specific case and the condition of your teeth, gums, soft tissue, and jaw, our surgeons may suggest a number of different surgical options. Our oral surgery procedures are always undertaken in the best interest of the patient in order to achieve the most effective outcome.

Surgical Removal of Teeth

Often your general dentist can complete the removal of teeth, without the need for referral to an oral maxillofacial surgeon. However, in some cases, they may refer you to an OMFS surgeon due to a number of reasons.

Depending on factors such as your previous medical history, the severity of the case, the location of the tooth in relation to other oral structures, and the complexity of the extraction, you may need to have your tooth extracted by a surgeon. The procedure can be completed under local or general anesthetic, depending on the individual and the specific case.

Wisdom Tooth Surgery

The removal of wisdom teeth, although not always necessary, can be important for a number of reasons. When the jaw is not large enough for the effective eruption of wisdom teeth, there is a risk that the wisdom teeth can become impacted. Impacted wisdom teeth can heighten the risk of severe infection and cause pain and discomfort, among other problems.

In cases where the removal of wisdom teeth is necessary, we take great care in ensuring patients are comfortable and informed about their procedure. In most cases, wisdom tooth removal is simple, with minimal recovery.

Exposure of Teeth

As everyone is unique, the growth of the jaw is different for everyone. Sometimes teeth may fail to erupt properly and can remain buried within the jaw. In these cases, it may be necessary to surgically assist with the eruption of teeth in order to either facilitate effective spontaneous eruption or prepare the tooth for orthodontic treatment.

The procedure can be completed in just half an hour and will only require a few days for a full recovery. To ensure total patient comfort, the procedure can be completed under local or general anesthetic.

Dental Implants

 Dental implants are an innovative and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. In some cases, patients that would like to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant may not be able to due to a lack of sufficient bone and tissue at the implant site.

OMFS offers a number of tooth replacement options including single dental implants and implant-supported dentures. Patients without sufficient bone and tissue may receive a bone or soft tissue graft in order to facilitate the placement of dental implants.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures can be a great solution for patients looking to replace an entire top or bottom arch. Implant-supported dentures are an effective alternative to conventional dentures, offering patients greater stability and function.

Typically, implant-supported dentures require the placement of multiple dental implants that hold a prosthetic denture in place. The device is natural in appearance and can help to improve oral function. Depending on the case treatment time may vary. Discuss your individual treatment plan with your OMFS surgeon.

We welcome the opportunity to provide you a dental consultation and a bid via DentistConsultationHub.com. However, we do require a complete set of information including quality dental x-rays, CT-Scan, and photos that have been captured in the last 6 months to be able to bid on your treatment. All bids are subject to change after we visit you in person and have the ability to perform in-person evaluations.
