Why Choose Dental Clinic Tauranga OMS in Tauranga?

Tauranga Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provide high quality specialist oral surgical services for patients in Tauranga and the widerย Bay of Plenty region.
Tauranga Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provide high quality specialist oral surgical services for patients in Tauranga and the widerย Bay of Plenty region. Tauranga Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery represents the association between our four surgeons Dr Abi Estelle, Dr John Bridgman, Dr Brenton Wilson and Dr Nabeela Ahmed. Our team of surgeons practice together to provide high quality specialist oral surgical services in Tauranga for locals and those in the wider Bay of Plenty community. The primary function of Tauranga Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is to complement the care provided by general dental and medical practitioners on a referral basis. We most commonly remove impacted wisdom teeth and provide the surgery for dental implants. We also frequently manage potentially difficult dental extractions for which the patient's general dental practitioner may feel unable to safely manage. Where appropriate, patients can be seen without referral. However, we do not provide general dental care so after surgical treatment, patients are referred back to their general dental practitioner for ongoing dental care. For patients who come to see us without a general dental practitioner, we endeavour to assist them in finding a suitable local practitioner. The scope of our specialist care extends to more complex surgery with procedures to eradicate jaw pathology such as cysts or tumours, surgery to correct facial deformity, jaw joint surgery and oral medicine. The Tauranga OMS team understand dental procedures can be a cause of anxiety. Our surgeons are leaders in their fields and are supported by a team of skilled nurses and support staff who are here to make your experience with us both safe and comfortable. Below is some useful information you may like to read before your first appointment. Our role as specialists is to support the local dental and medical practitioners by providing patient care which is outside the scope of general practitioners. Many minor surgical procedures such as routine dental extractions are able to be performed very competently by dentists. Patients are commonly referred to us when their general dentist or doctor has concerns about being able to safely and efficiently undertake the required procedure in a way that allows the patient to be comfortable and likely to achieve prompt healing.

I recently attended OMS with Carmel Rogers who had been experiencing months of severe mouth pain. Carmel had been prescribed opiates by her GP which in themselves added to her problems. She was eventually referred to OMS and largely tks to the expertise and dedicated care of Dr Nabeela Ahmed, Carmel is well on the road to recovery. Carmel's case proved to be complicated and on several occasions, despite having very busy clinics, Dr Ahmed always made a point of seeing Carmel on an urgent basis, always ensuring plenty of time for her to travel from Whakatane to Tauranga. Carmel and I cannot speak more highly of the exemplary care and expertise provided by Dr Ahmed. Carmel's journey has been a long and painful one, but her destination is now complete and pain free. Thank you so very much Nabeela. We are greatly indebted to you.

Had a tooth implant done a couple of years ago. They explained the procedure and investigated how it would go for me really thoroughly. Surgery was flawless and I was cared for really well. Very caring service. Highly recommend.

I had both lower wisdom teeth extracted at Tauranga OMS by Dr Abi, and nearly a year later, Iโ€™m still struggling with ongoing jaw pain and severe headaches that began after the procedure. When I first sought help from Dr Abi to address my pain and discuss a recovery plan, my concerns were dismissed by saying it was โ€œnormal,โ€ with no real guidance or support offered. I tried to raise these issues again recently, but Iโ€™ve received the same response, which I find both frustrating and disheartening. Persistent pain a year after surgery is far from normal, and the indifference and lack of empathy Iโ€™ve experienced have been incredibly disappointing. About a year ago, I suggested lodging an ACC claim to get the support I needed, but Dr Abi dismissed that idea as well. Recently, I approached my osteopath about the claim, and without any hesitation, they submitted it for meโ€”highlighting the contrast in care. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against going to OMS, as it appears theyโ€™re unconcerned with the wellbeing of patients once the surgery is complete and show little interest in post-operative care.

Highly recommend the team at OMS Tauranga. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I had my wisdom teeth removed by Dr Nabeela Ahmed and the care was excellent.

Wow. I went in for wisdom teeth removal plus an extra tooth. They were professional, quick working and friendly! I was expecting a VERY sore mouth after, however, was pleasantly surprised when I had next to no pain after my procedure, despite having one of my teeth drilled out. John Bridgeman is great dental surgeon, would highly recommend, especially if you are scared like I was!

Cannot recommend this place enough. I have had an impacted wisdom tooth and 3 others extracted today and had the best experience ever. Nabeela was kind and compassionate and I donโ€™t remember a thing from when the IV started until they woke me up when it was all done. I didnโ€™t feel drowsy or sick, and now home resting. I have the worst dental phobia and these guys restored my faith! Highly highly highly recommend them 100/10
