The right oral surgeon makes all the difference for a smooth, safe recovery. Maybe you need single tooth extractions, or perhaps you require full jaw reconstruction. 

Either way, you want a certified specialist handling your care. So, we’ve reviewed local dental clinics to help you find the best oral surgeons in Brisbane.

This guide highlights specialists who offer advanced surgical procedures, deep sedation options, and excellent bedside manner. Let’s explore the top picks so you can finally get your smile and health back on track.

1. Dr George Chu (Faciomax)

Website: https://faciomax.com/ 

Address: Level 5, Morris Towers, 149 Wickham Terrace 

Contact: (07) 3724 0319 / 0481 227 289 / [email protected]

Hours: Monday to Friday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Dr George Chu can treat complex conditions through his private surgical practice, alongside senior public hospital appointments and university teaching.

His academic background helps him bring specialist knowledge and teaching experience to challenging surgical cases.

Patients with severe jaw-joint disorders can access treatments such as arthrocentesis and open joint surgery. He can also perform facial fracture repairs, bone grafting, and impacted wisdom tooth extractions.

After your consultation, he even provides an itemised fee estimate so you can check your private health insurance and Medicare rebates before booking.

However, you must pay the surgical fees upfront on the day and claim any eligible rebates afterwards. This extra step may feel inconvenient if you prefer direct billing through your health fund.

Dr Chu’s expertise as an oral surgeon is unmatched

Dr Chu is a phenomenal individual I will be recommending to everyone I meet. Dr Chu and his team took the time to clearly explain and go through procedure options & recovery time while also making sure every decision made along the way was my own. I have been chronically ill for the past 5 years & seen a lot of doctors but the high level of care, compassion and desire to help has been above and beyond what I could have expected. Dr Chu’s expertise as an oral surgeon is unmatched. I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Chu…

I will definitely recommend Dr George Chu to everyone who requires oral surgery

…my sons had all four wisdom teeth removed with Dr Chu, and his post operative care is outstanding. He is the most approachable, down to earth, really nice, very experienced and not pretentious surgeon you will meet I am sure of it. Literally super. My sons say he’s a “top bloke” and they both healed very well post surgery. I made enquiries of the anaesthetist as well and Dr Chu was again very caring and understanding. If I could give a 10 star review I would.

I will definitely recommend Dr George Chu to everyone who requires oral surgery.

2. Brisbane OMS

Website: https://oralsurgery.com.au/ 

Address: Brisbane Dental Specialist Centre, 4/80 Hope Street 

Contact: (07) 3844 4400 / [email protected] | Fax: (07) 3844 4401

Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM

Hospital admissions for routine tooth extractions can lead to high theatre bills if you don’t have private hospital cover. Brisbane OMS offers an alternative, with two operating theatres at their rooms that support both local and general anaesthesia.

This setup gives uninsured patients a more affordable way to access general anaesthetic care without paying private hospital facility fees.

The surgical team holds fellowships from the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS), alongside specialist registrations.

Beyond routine extractions, they also handle advanced implant procedures, including sinus-lift surgery and guided tissue regeneration.

However, you can’t have general anaesthetic procedures on the same day as your initial consultation. You’ll need to plan for two separate visits, which takes extra time out of your week.

Customer Reviews

Exceptional care and expertise

Always feared dentists terribly! Dr Alistair Reid changed that. Explains everything carefully, and he and his professional staff made tooth removal, bone grafts and implants seem like a walk in the park. Thank you for your exceptional care and expertise

I felt safe in their hands

…Dr Voltz is a wonderful surgeon, very open, very accommodating and supportive in your needs.

I mentioned I had a fear of needles and they put a cold ice pack on the area to numb it beforehand.

They gave me some happy gas before they put me under which helped calm what small nerves I had left.

Had the best experience having all four wisdom teeth removed by the team at oms. I felt safe in their hands.

Thank you again for your tender and gracious care!

3. Dr Chris Chahoud

Website: https://chrischahoud.com.au/ 

Address: Silverton Place, Level 4, 101 Wickham Terrace 

Contact: (07) 3839 3727 / [email protected] | Fax: (07) 3839 0817

Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM 

Dr Chris Chahoud has practised as a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon since 1995, bringing decades of experience to his work. His clinical background covers facial bone fractures and oral pathology.

Plus, he holds accredited visiting appointments at Sunnybank Private Hospital, Chermside Day Hospital, and Brisbane Private Hospital for major hospital-based procedures.

He treats referred patients who need procedures such as impacted wisdom tooth removal, tooth exposure, and corrective jaw surgery.

After your consultation, he then provides written quotes, hospital booking details, and postoperative guides to help you prepare for treatment and recovery.

But know that procedures requiring general anaesthesia take place at an affiliated private hospital rather than the clinic itself. You’ll need to manage the additional hospital admission paperwork and arrangements.

Customer Reviews

Most reassuring, calm and collected Oral Surgeon

Absolutely outstanding experience!

I Have a lot of anxiety towards people touching my teeth due to a few traumatic experiences as a child.

However, Dr. Chahoud Has to be the most reassuring, calm and collected Oral Surgeon. Truly helped me step by step through the whole process making sure I was okay.

A very professional and kind workplace, Dr. Chahoud and all his staff included.

Would highly recommend to anyone.

They are as good as it gets

…He is skillful, sensitive, concerned and freely is available for after hour support by mobile. I have never had an infection and barely a scar to be seen including on front gums and teeth. He cares about the cosmetics as well as treating the problem.

To back him up he has an exceptional team, one of whom has been there since my first visit (and she is amazing). If you have any oral surgery, I cannot recommend Dr Chahoud and his team to anyone that would listen. They are as good as it gets.

4. Dr Zeb McNamara

Website: https://www.drzebmcnamara.com.au/ 

Address: Chermside Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, 861 Gympie Road, Chermside 

Contact: (07) 3518 0000 / [email protected]  | Fax: (07) 3112 5082

Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM 

Dr Zeb McNamara holds degrees in pharmacy, medicine, and dentistry from the University of Queensland, alongside specialist surgical qualifications.

This multidisciplinary background helps him consider your existing medications and overall health when planning treatment.

His practice covers wisdom tooth removal, corrective jaw surgery, facial trauma, and head and neck skin lesion removal. He also performs bone grafting and sinus lifts to rebuild bone before dental implant placement.

Plus, he sends detailed consultation summaries directly to your referring doctor, helping keep your healthcare team informed.

However, your first clinic appointment can take one to two hours because you may need several diagnostic tests on the day. This longer visit may be difficult if you’re working with a tight schedule.

Customer Reviews

Zeb’s skills as an Oral Surgeon are quite remarkable

… we proceeded with her surgery, knowing she was in the very best of care. Mum has now fully recovered from her surgery and is in fact happier and more sprightly than she was pre op, now that the infection has been cleared. Not even the slightest bruise on her mouth post surgery, truly remarkable at 97. We are so very grateful to Zeb for his advice, wisdoms and concerns for Mum. She felt so confident with him to undergo this procedure. Zeb’s skills as an Oral Surgeon are quite remarkable. Thanks also to Brie as part of Zeb’s team…

If I ever need the skills of an oral surgeon again, I will definitely return to Dr McNamara

Dr McNamara removed 4 of my back teeth and I had minimal pain and discomfort afterwards which I credit to his surgical skills. He is compassionate and easy to talk to. He, and his team provide an excellent and comprehensive service (pre and post -surgery) If I ever need the skills of an oral surgeon again, I will definitely return to Dr McNamara.

5. My OMS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons

Website: https://www.myomsqld.com.au/ 

Address: 623A Lutwyche Road, Lutwyche 

Contact: (07) 3102 6888 / [email protected] 

Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM 

Dr Howard Cho coordinates directly with patients’ orthodontists when planning and performing corrective jaw surgery. This teamwork helps ensure that orthodontic treatment fits smoothly with the surgical plan.

He also offers wisdom tooth removal and dental implants under local or general anaesthesia.

Patients can even access four consultation and hospital locations in Lutwyche, North Lakes, Springwood, and Ipswich, all with free parking.

A client we interviewed after their consultation at the Lutwyche rooms appreciated receiving itemised Australian Dental Association (ADA) and Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) item numbers upfront.

These details helped them check their health insurance rebates before proceeding.

Unfortunately, complex procedures requiring general anaesthesia involve separate hospital arrangements and fees for the surgeon, anaesthetist, and hospital.

Customer Reviews

One of the best oral and maxillofacial surgeons in town

…From the initial consultation through to the surgery and recovery, Dr Cho was extremely professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. Especially since my case is complex so I’m extremely thankful.

That level of care and attention is rare and very much appreciated. I spent a lot of time researching and I can honestly say Dr Cho exceeded my expectations. In my opinion, he is one of the best oral and maxillofacial surgeons in town.

I would 100% highly recommend Dr Cho to anyone who may need any oral or complex jaw surgeries. Truly deserves 5 out 5!

Their professionalism, skill, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly positive

…made me feel genuinely cared for as a patient. He also listened to my concerns regarding pain medication and worked with me to make sure I was comfortable.

My recovery has been far better than I expected. The worst pain I’ve experienced has only been around a 3/10, which is remarkable considering I had multiple wisdom teeth removed.

I highly recommend Dr. Cho and Lauren to anyone needing oral surgery. Their professionalism, skill, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly positive. Thank you both for making the whole process so easy. 😊
