Oral Surgeons - Australian Business Directory | LocalBook

An oral surgeon is a specialist in the dental field, who can complete more serious surgeries on your teeth, face, nose and mouth. Other names for oral surgeons include oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS), dental surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, orthodontists or dentists. These professionals of oral & maxillofacial surgery might provide the following services: root canals, digital radiography, cosmetic make-overs, orthodontics, toothache treatments, cosmetic smile makeovers, whitening, cosmetic tooth alignment, dento-facial aesthetics, dental implants, crowns and bridges. It can be a bit confusing because most dentists are also oral surgeons, but oral surgeons also have surgical medicine skills.

While dentists might take images of your teeth, clean them and fill cavities, they need to have experience in surgery for the more serious problems, like root canals. Root canals are a form of dentoalveolar surgery; for one reason or another, the tooth is not normal and might be difficult to treat or remove. You could have broken, impacted, deteriorating or rotten teeth, which need to be taken out by a professional oral surgeon. For root canals, you might receive local or general anesthetics. Some oral surgeons might offer same day crowns.

Cosmetic surgeons might also be able to provide services related to fixing your mouth, nose, teeth or face. Therefore, cleft palates, face lifts, nose jobs and craniosynostosis might be part of their repertoire. If your child with born with a facial deformity, then an oral surgeon can help him improve his looks. No charge consultations might be available.

Oral surgeons might have earned a Bachelors or Masters of Dentistry, Dental Science, Dental Surgery, Medicine, Implants, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Surgery, Medicine, Dental Hygiene, Anesthesia or Oral Health. They might also have a Masters in Prosthodontics. These dental surgeons might be fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, Academy of Biomimetic Dentistry, Australasian Osseointegration Society, Australian Society of Endodontology, Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency, Australian Dental Association, Australasian Academy of Dento-Facial Aesthetics, Australian Society of Implant Dentistry or Dental Practice Accreditation (ADA). You might see a FRACDS behind the name of professional oral surgeons in Australia. You can ask if they take Medibank.
