Patients across the Northern Tablelands now have greater access to expert oral surgery, with New England Oral Surgery joining the Smile On Clinics network – a leading Australian dental group focused on delivering high-quality care in regional communities.
With a long-standing reputation for expert surgical care, both clinics will continue to be led by Dr Quintin Wilson, alongside Professor Peter Reher, Dr Ajitha Sugnanam, and Dr Dan Allan – ensuring patients still receive the personalised care they know and trust.
Now supported by Smile On Clinics, the teams are equipped with greater resources, clinical support, and advanced systems to expand their capacity and deliver more complex oral surgery services, closer to home. This development strengthens their ongoing collaboration with local dentists and reinforces a shared commitment to making dental and oral surgery services as accessible as possible for rural and remote communities.
“We’re still the same team, but now we have the backing of Smile On Clinics to expand our services, introduce new technologies, and continue working with local dentists to bring care closer to home,” said Dr Quintin Wilson, Founder and Principal Dentist.
“As someone born and raised in the New England region, it’s incredibly important to me that patients don’t have to travel for treatment they should be able to access locally.”
New England Oral Surgery in Armidale delivers care to patients from Tamworth to Glen Innes, with a monthly clinic planned in Inverell to reduce travel time for rural patients requiring surgical procedures.
A key benefit of the partnership is the introduction of TEETH ON IMPLANTS® – an advanced full-arch dental implant procedure that allows patients to have teeth removed, infections treated, and implants placed all in one surgical appointment.
Previously limited to metro areas, this treatment is now available to patients in the New England region.
“This is about supporting the next evolution of care in our regions,” said Dr Wilson. “Patients shouldn’t have to travel to major cities for advanced treatments. With the support of Smile On Clinics, we’re making sure they don’t have to.”
Smile On Clinics currently operates more than 20 practices across NSW and Queensland, including regional hubs in Griffith, Taree, Tamworth, and Dubbo, with a strong focus on bringing premium dental care closer to home.
