WISDOM TEETH

Impacted and painful wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons for referral to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. Left untreated they can result in dental caries, gum disease or facial infection.

SURGICAL TOOTH REMOVAL

Some dental extractions are complex and require the skills of a specialist surgeon for safe removal.

EXPOSURE OF TEETH

In some situations space may need to be made in the gum to help a tooth move into the correct position. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons work hand in hand with orthodontists to give you the best smile possible.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

The next best option to replacing a missing tooth is a dental implant. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons work with your dentist to give you the best possible tooth replacement.

HEAD AND NECK CANCER SURGERY

Most abnormal lumps, bumps and ulcers in the head and neck region are not life threatening, however in some cases they may represent a life threatening disease like a cancer. Dr. Amailuk works in conjunction with the Gold Coast University Hospital as part of the Head and Neck Cancer Service. All cancer and most major pathology patients will receive their surgery as Public patients in the  Queensland Health service.

FACIAL TRAUMA

Accidents are part of life. Facial trauma may result in disfigurement and pain. Surgery can play a role in restoring trauma patients to normal life and function.

CORRECTIVE JAW SURGERY

In some situations providing patients with the best smile possible requires the combined services of an Orthodontist and an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
