Telehealth Appointments
We now offer Telehealth appointments to allow easier and quicker access for patients. These appointments will be particularly useful for anyone who needs to travel a significant distance to see us, anyone who has difficulties in transport or anyone who may not be able to take time off to come and see us. Not all conditions can be assessed via Telehealth. Please contact us if you are interested in a Telehealth appointment.
Treatment under sedation
IV sedation provides a comfortable and calm experience for patients, whether they are highly anxious or unsuitable for extraction under local anaesthetic only.
Patients who require extractions, implants or any other minor oral surgery can generally be suitable for IV sedation.
If deemed suitable, an anaesthetist will perform your sedation whilst your surgeon will undertake your treatment as planned.
IV sedation is especially beneficial for patients who do not have private health insurance. Uninsured patients can expect to save $1500 or more compared to treatment in private hospital.
Surgical fees can vary dependent on the treatment required. All fees will be given on intitial consultation to ensure you are aware of all potential costs.
Treatment is provided by surgeons at OMS Specialists. You will meet your surgeon on initial consultation.
Sedation is provided by an anaesthetist. You will be informed of your anaesthetist on initial consultation.
What our patients say
Testimonials
Brody was exceptional in getting us an appointment through cancellations.
The tooth extraction was on gum line & Dr Deegesh Shah ensured Paul knew exactly what was happening, so quick and professional would highly recommend this surgery.
Terry & Paul
I want to say a big thank you for the amazing work Dr Deegesh Shah did with my jaw surgery. Despite it being a big job (double jaw surgery, genioplasty, 4 wisdom teeth out) I feel like it went so smoothly. My recovery was amazing! One year later my oral work has changed my life! Not only has it resolved eating, talking, sleeping issues etc … but it’s also improved my physical appearance and confidence so much.
The team was lovely and provided a comfortable environment for my appointments. Dr Shah was available for questions post surgery and made everything so simple. Can’t thank the team enough!!
Dayna Gough
Being petrified of going into hospital to get wisdom teeth out, Dr Ben Ghaly made this experience easy and comforting. I can’t thank him enough for his help and assistance and anyone looking for an amazing Dr to help with their issues; do yourself a favour and contact OMS Specialists for Dr Ben Ghaly.
Thank you, Thank you Thank you Ben! His help after surgery is impeccable and second to none! All the best to you Ben and your Team!

Rob Mckenzie
I cannot thank Dr Ghaly and his wonderful team enough. I had a wisdom tooth extracted whilst awake and everyone involved made me feel so comfortable and put my worried mind at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!
Sarah Arnott
Thank you to Dr Ghaly and his wonderful team. I was quite nervous about having my wisdom teeth removed, but he put me at ease. Recovery was amazing, so much better then I anticipated. Highly recommend.
Hayley McCloy
Dr Ben & his staff went above & beyond to help me today. Having anxiety & needing to to be awake during the removal of 2 teeth, they were so kind, gentle & put me at ease during the whole procedure.
I can’t thank them enough for helping relieve me of pain & discomfort & with kindness too.
Thankyou.

Big thank you to Dr Shah and Carley for their care taken today with my daughter for her pre orthodontic work. The procedure was explained to her before commencing, was not rushed but was over before she knew it. Appreciate how great they were with her. Thanks again
