5 Best Oral Surgeon in Sydney (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A wisdom tooth is throbbing, or a dentist has already told you an implant or extraction is next, and now you need to find who actually does that work well. Reviews sort the general dentists who handle it occasionally from the specialists who do it every day.

Short answer: Paramount Dental Sydney ranks highest on review volume, 4.8 across 699 reviews, but it's a general dental practice that also performs extractions rather than a dedicated oral surgery clinic. If you want a specialist who does complex implant and All-on-4 surgery day in, day out, Sydney Implant Institute (4.8, 195 reviews) is the one genuine oral surgery specialist on this page.

Paramount Dental Sydney

4.8699 Google reviews

Paramount Dental Sydney is a general dental practice opposite Hyde Park that also handles surgical procedures like wisdom tooth extractions, rather than a dedicated oral surgery specialist clinic. One reviewer describes an urgent procedure for a chipped, impacted wisdom tooth performed by Dr Sian Denton without anaesthesia and with no reported pain, fitted in on a public holiday. The practice is open into the evening most weekdays and on weekends, which several reviewers mention specifically for urgent dental work. It leads this list on review volume, 699 reviews at 4.8.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe urgent extractions and wisdom tooth procedures fitted in outside normal availability, including public holidays
  • Dr Sian Denton gets specific praise for a calm, low-anxiety approach to an urgent wisdom tooth procedure
  • Extended weekday and weekend hours come up repeatedly as a practical advantage

Worth knowing

  • A general dental practice rather than a dedicated oral surgery clinic; more complex surgical cases may still warrant a specialist referral

Our take: Ranks highest here on volume and rating, but as a general practice rather than a specialist oral surgeon. Fine for a straightforward extraction; ask about referral options for anything more complex.

EMERGENCY DENTIST SYDNEY

4.8689 Google reviews

Emergency Dentist Sydney is an after-hours and same-day service built around urgent pain relief, cracked or dislodged teeth, and extractions rather than scheduled oral surgery. One reviewer, an international student, describes a tooth extraction for a severe infection and gum cyst completed within about two hours of calling. It isn't marketed as an oral surgery specialist, but reviewers consistently describe extractions and urgent surgical care handled quickly. It holds 689 reviews at 4.8.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe being seen and treated within hours, including for urgent extractions
  • One reviewer's tooth extraction for a severe infection was completed in about 20 minutes with clear aftercare instructions
  • Reviewers travelling through Sydney mention feeling well cared for despite the stress of an unplanned visit

Worth knowing

  • Built for emergencies rather than scheduled oral surgery, and hours aren't published, so confirm same-day availability by phone

Our take: A close second on review volume, built around fast emergency extractions rather than planned oral surgery. Good for a genuine dental emergency, less suited to scheduling a routine wisdom tooth removal in advance.

Sydney Implant Institute

4.8195 Google reviews

Sydney Implant Institute, on Macquarie Street, is the one dedicated oral surgery and implant practice on this page, built around All-on-4 dental implants and complex cases. Reviewers describe full-arch implant surgery performed by a team of named surgeons, including Dr Choi and Dr Zac Wilson, after being told elsewhere that a case wasn't suitable for implants. It holds 195 reviews at 4.8, the smallest volume here but the most specialised offering.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe complex or previously declined cases, including a patient told she'd need dentures at 30, successfully treated with implants
  • Treatment coordinator Gemma and long-serving staff member Shai get named praise for reducing pre-surgery anxiety
  • One reviewer has attended for 14 years, travelling from Canberra for ongoing implant care

Worth knowing

  • Fewer total reviews than the general practices on this page, reflecting a narrower, more specialised caseload

Our take: The only true oral surgery specialist on this page, with a track record on complex implant cases the general practices here don't take on. The smaller review count reflects a specialised caseload rather than a weaker reputation.

The Dentist at 70 Pitt Street

4.9160 Google reviews

The Dentist at 70 Pitt Street is a female-led general and cosmetic practice that also covers oral surgery, led by Dr Catherine-Anne Walsh, Dr Catrina Carroll and Dr Vinaya Sunkersett. Its own site explicitly recommends patients get a second opinion from a dental specialist before any invasive treatment, including surgical extractions or implants. Reviewers describe everything from a toddler's first visit to an interstate patient's same-day emergency treatment. It holds 160 reviews at 4.9.

What people praise

  • The practice's own site recommends a second opinion before invasive procedures like surgical extractions, an unusually candid stance
  • Reviewers describe patient, unhurried care with young children as well as anxious adult patients
  • Same-day emergency care offered to a patient visiting from interstate

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described a paid-for panoramic X-ray being delayed across two visits before it was completed

Our take: A smaller practice with a strong rating and an unusually transparent stance on second opinions before surgery. Worth it if that caution matters to you, though administrative follow-through isn't flawless by every account.

A Better Smile Dentist Sydney

4.9127 Google reviews

A Better Smile Dentist Sydney, in the Bulgari Building on Castlereagh Street, is a family general and cosmetic practice whose service list includes gum surgery and wisdom tooth extraction alongside Invisalign and implants, led by Dr Joel. Reviewers describe a decade-long relationship with the practice covering everything from children's braces to crown and filling work in a single long appointment. It holds 127 reviews at 4.9, the smallest volume on this page.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe a decade or more of ongoing family care, including braces for both parents and children
  • Dr Joel gets consistent praise for clear explanations and fitting in last-minute repairs
  • Interest-free payment plans mentioned by multiple reviewers as making bigger treatment plans more manageable

Worth knowing

  • Smallest review base on this page, and limited weekday hours, so book ahead

Our take: A loyal, long-tenured patient base speaks well of the practice, but the smaller sample size and narrower opening hours are worth planning around.

How we scored these practices

We pulled live Google ratings and review counts for dental practices returned for this search in Sydney’s CBD, then ranked on rating, review volume, and the share of five-star reviews. We also checked which practices are true oral surgery specialists versus general dentists who perform surgical procedures like extractions, and call that distinction out directly rather than treating every result the same. No practice can pay to move up this list.

What does oral surgery cost in Sydney? (2026)

Cost varies hugely by procedure. A straightforward extraction is a very different job from a full-arch All-on-4 implant case, and none of the five practices here publish a flat fee list. Ask for a written, itemised quote before any surgical procedure, and confirm what your private health insurance covers versus what’s out of pocket.

Oral surgery and extractions across Sydney

All five practices sit within Sydney’s CBD, around Elizabeth, Macquarie, Pitt and Castlereagh Streets, close to Town Hall, Martin Place and Museum stations. That makes it practical to get a same-day assessment even if you’re travelling in from the suburbs or interstate.

What to ask before oral surgery

  • Is this a job for a general dentist or does it need a specialist oral surgeon?
  • What sedation or anaesthesia options are available, and what do they cost?
  • What’s the full recovery timeline, and what follow-up visits are included?
  • What happens if there’s a complication after the procedure?
  • Is a second opinion recommended before something irreversible, like an extraction or implant?
  • What’s covered by private health insurance versus out of pocket?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these practices?

We compared dental practices returned for this search in Sydney’s CBD on live Google ratings, review volume, and the share of five-star reviews, then checked each one’s own site and reviews for whether oral surgery is a core specialty or an occasional service. We didn’t undergo any procedure ourselves.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this ranking in July 2026 and recheck it periodically as new reviews come in.

Is every practice on this list an oral surgery specialist?

No. Sydney Implant Institute is the one dedicated oral surgery and implant practice here. Paramount Dental Sydney and Emergency Dentist Sydney are general practices that also perform extractions, while The Dentist at 70 Pitt Street and A Better Smile Dentist Sydney are general and cosmetic practices that also list oral surgery among their services.

Should I get a second opinion before surgery?

It’s a reasonable habit for anything irreversible, like an extraction or implant. The Dentist at 70 Pitt Street’s own site explicitly recommends this before invasive treatment, which is worth following even if you go elsewhere.

The bottom line

For a straightforward extraction, Paramount Dental Sydney’s volume and extended hours make it a solid, convenient default. For a complex implant case, or anything a general dentist has already flagged as tricky, Sydney Implant Institute is the specialist practice built for it. Either way, a second opinion before anything irreversible is a habit more than one practice here explicitly recommends.
