About Southern OMS

An independent oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic at 455 Papanui Road in Papanui, Christchurch, in a purpose-built facility. The website says it has 3D CT X-ray on site, so the consultation and diagnostics can happen at one appointment. Services include wisdom tooth extraction, impacted tooth exposure, dental implant placement, apicectomy, bone grafting, oral and skin lesion removal, TMJ and orthognathic surgery, and trauma and deformity correction. Treatment can be given under advanced sedation, or under general anaesthetic on regular operating lists. The website says the clinic is available for emergency treatment and for questions after a procedure. It is owned and operated by a surgeon who trained in dentistry and medicine at Otago University and later completed a fellowship in Melbourne, according to the website.

Reviewers mention wisdom teeth removal most often, then kind staff and quick surgery. One parent said their two teenage sons each had four wisdom teeth removed under sedation, and found the process efficient and stress free, with clear communication and reassuring staff. Another, who had a wisdom tooth out in their fifties on a dentist's referral, found the first visit professional and kind. None of the nearby doctors with ten or more reviews rates higher than this one. Christchurch Eye Surgery, 0.2 km away, rates lower.
