Why choose Oral & Facial Surgery Specialists?
We created Oral & Facial Surgery Specialists to make specialist care easier to access across Melbourne’s bayside and south-east. With consultation locations in Altona, Patterson Lakes, and Frankston, many patients can be seen closer to home. We also welcome people from surrounding suburbs such as Williamstown, Newport, Brighton, Sandringham, Mentone, Cheltenham, Moorabbin, Dandenong, Seaford, Carrum Downs, Langwarrin, Mornington, and the wider Mornington Peninsula.
Our focus is simple: clear communication, thoughtful planning, and care that is safe and well organised.
Dr Felix Sim founded the practice with a simple idea: good surgical care comes from combining medical training, oral and maxillofacial expertise, and hands-on experience.
Before any procedure, we talk it through together so you feel informed and supported from the start.
Core services at Oral & Facial Surgery Specialists
We consult on both adults and children for a wide range of procedures at our Werribee clinic. Some minor treatments are done right here in our clinic. Whenever general anaesthetic is required, we operate just down the road at Wyndham Clinic Private Hospital to keep your care local.
1. Wisdom teeth removal
Painful or infected wisdom teeth can be safely removed under either local or general anaesthetic. We provide wisdom teeth removal here in Werribee to patients throughout Melbourne’s west.
2. Dental implants
Dental implants replace missing teeth and restore normal function. At our clinic in Werribee, each case is planned digitally and placed with care for a natural, stable result.Â
3. Zygomatic implants
Zygomatic implants offer a reliable alternative to grafting, in cases of limited bone, by anchoring into the cheekbone. Our surgeons perform zygomatic implant procedures in Werribee for patients needing advanced implant options.
4. Extraction of difficult teeth
Sometimes a tooth doesn’t come through properly, or breaks below the surface, in which case surgery usually is the best option for its removal.
5. Jaw surgery
Jaw surgery will correct misalignment and allow improvement in bite, function, and facial balance. We take great care in the planning of each case to provide continued stability and comfort long into the future. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons provide comprehensive care for jaw surgery in Werribee
6. Tooth exposure surgery
This is a procedure that helps in moving the impacted teeth, usually canines, into position during orthodontic treatment.
7. Oral pathology and cancer
Persistent ulcers, lumps, or discoloured patches in the mouth require further assessment. We offer the diagnosis and management of a range of oral pathology and cancer cases.

Hospital locations for maxillofacial procedures in Melbourne
Most procedures that need a general anaesthetic are performed in an accredited private hospital. This means your surgery takes place in a fully equipped theatre, with an anaesthetist and hospital nursing team involved in your care.
Depending on your treatment plan and booking availability, procedures may be carried out at one of the following hospitals:
- Hobson Healthcare Hospital, Sydenham
- Monash House Private Hospital
- Waverley Private Hospital
- Melbourne Private Hospital
- Wyndham Clinic Private Hospital
Our team will talk you through which hospital is most appropriate for your procedure, and we will help coordinate the booking process, including what to expect before and after surgery. If you have private health insurance, we can also provide item numbers and written estimates so you can check your level of cover.
