Procedures
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Third Molar teeth generally erupt in late teens – early twenties which has been referred by some as the age of wisdom… hence the name Wisdom Teeth.
Teeth Extractions
Surgical removal of a tooth or teeth, involving elevation and sometimes sectioning and cutting into the bone.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts screwed into the jaw bone with a crown placed on the post to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
Orthognathic Surgery
Surgery performed on the jaws to put them into correct occlusion (bite position), usually carried out in conjunction with an Orthodontist. Benefits include improvement in chewing, speaking, possibly breathing (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) and sometimes the facial appearance.

TMJ is short for temporomandibular joint, which is where the lower jaw attaches to the base of the skull on each side of the head, just in front of the ears.

Oral Pathology – Lesions, cysts
Any abnormal bony or soft tissue lesion or swelling, including salivary glands. Some diagnoses are possible by physical examination but other conditions may require further investigations such as x-rays and biopsies sent to Pathologists.
