Dr John Hennessy is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and Oral Surgeon based in Albury, NSW. His practice is at 682 Dean Street, Albury NSW 2640.
Oral surgery can sound scary, but a lot of it is straightforward care. Dr Hennessy looks after people who need help with things like troublesome teeth and gums, issues that are affecting comfort or chewing, and infections in the mouth that need proper treatment.
Common reasons patients come in include tooth extraction, especially when a tooth is damaged, broken, or causing ongoing problems. He also provides dental implants, which can help restore function when a tooth is missing, or when other options aren’t a good fit for that situation.
At times, people also need oral biopsies. These are used when there’s a change in the mouth that needs closer checking. The goal is to get clear information so the next step is based on what’s actually going on.
Oral infections are another big part of this kind of work. Pain, swelling, and feeling unwell can happen when an infection spreads. In many cases, prompt treatment helps settle things down and reduces the risk of it getting worse.
Dr Hennessy’s approach is practical and calm. He focuses on explaining what’s happening and what the options look like, so you can feel more comfortable about the plan. If you’re dealing with a problem in your mouth that isn’t settling, or you need an assessment for possible surgery, you can contact the practice in Albury to discuss what might help.
