Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
Kavindu handles the clinic's surgical list, from straightforward extractions to buried wisdom teeth and grafting ahead of implant placement.

He works closely with Dr. Wijesinghe on implant cases so that the surgical and restorative plan is agreed before anything begins — which is usually what determines how good the final result looks.
Patients tend to comment on how carefully he explains recovery. He would rather over-prepare you for two uncomfortable days than have you worry unnecessarily on day one.
Working days can change with leave and clinic cover. Online booking always shows the real diary.
Treatments
Online booking only offers a clinician for treatments they are configured to carry out.
Removal of a tooth that cannot be saved, carried out under local anaesthetic with a clear plan for replacing it afterwards.
Assessment and surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth by our maxillofacial surgeon, with a CBCT scan where the nerve is close.
A titanium root placed in the jawbone and restored with a custom crown — the closest thing dentistry has to replacing a tooth completely.
Same-day assessment and relief for severe pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma or a lost filling or crown.
Results
Published with the written, dated consent of the patient concerned.
Upper central incisor lost to trauma. Implant placed with a temporary in situ throughout, restored at four months.
Patient reviews
I lost a front tooth in a cricket accident. The scan, the plan and the temporary all happened in the same week, so I was never walking around with a gap. The final crown is indistinguishable from the tooth next to it.
Rang at eight in the morning with a swollen face and was seen by half past ten as a completely new patient. They got me out of pain that day and booked the actual treatment for the following week.
Dr. Silva told me to expect two rough days, and it was exactly two rough days. Being prepared for it made it far easier to handle than being told it would be fine and then finding out otherwise.
