Description
Oral Surgery Associates, originally established by Neil Luyk (now retired) is the exciting venture of three Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, expert in surgery of the mouth and face.
A comprehensive oral and maxillofacial surgery (surgery of the mouth, face and jaws) service is available, and all aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery are provided. The service includes comprehensive management of:
- dento-alveolar problems such as impacted wisdom teeth,
- oral medicine problems such as oral ulceration,
- facial reconstructive surgery including corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery),
- dental reconstructive surgery with dental implants.
The surgeons are all Southern Cross Affliated Providers.
We have recently added to our surgical armamentarium with the purchase of two new medical lasers and can now offer oral hard and soft tissue laser surgery with significantly less post-operative pain and swelling following surgery.

Gum tissue at the site of the implant is opened up to expose the bone. The bone is drilled and a titanium implant is inserted where the root of your tooth had been. Once the bone and gum has healed (3-6 months), the post is attached to the implant and the crown is placed over the post and cemented into place.

Wisdom teeth are the third molars right at the back of your mouth. They usually appear during your late teens or early twenties. If there is not enough room in your mouth they may partially erupt through the gum or not at all. This is referred to as an impacted wisdom tooth. Due to their location wisdom teeth can be difficult to clean and are more susceptible to decay, gum disease and recurrent infections. They can cause crowding of teeth and, on rare occasions, cysts and tumours develop around them. Your dentist will advise if some or all of your wisdom teeth need to be removed. Wisdom teeth will usually only be removed if your dentist believes they will be a significant compromise to your oral health. Impacted tooth extraction Your dentist may recommend extraction if you are at significantly greater risk of infection or tooth decay. Impacted teeth may be removed by your dentist or they may refer you to an oral & maxillofacial surgeon. An incision (cut) is made in your gum and access to the impacted tooth cleared by pushing aside gum tissue and, if necessary, removing some bone. The tooth is removed whole or in pieces and the gum stitched together over the hole.
