South Melbourne Maxillofacial Surgery Dr Lisa Crighton

I had the best experience with Dr. Crighton as my surgeon. She was not only amazing but also extremely thorough and understanding. I had two complex impacted wisdom teeth, one really close to a nerve and infected. Dr. Crighton ensured that everything went smoothly from the initial consultation to the surgery and post-operative care. Her expertise and attention to detail were remarkable, and she made sure that my recovery was as comfortable as possible. I am truly grateful for Dr. Crighton's exceptional care and would highly recommend her.

I’d give 10 stars if I could.
Not only was Lisa calm when talking to me about a potentially scary situation, she then did a great job on my operation and recovery.
She explains difficult to hear things really well so you don’t get overawed which is imperative when dealing with you health.
Also, the people in the office are great and so professional. Jenna and Abby are so willing to help and are basically the perfect front of house crew.
Do not be worried if you get referred to Lisa, you’re in the best hands possible.

Lisa and her staff are absolutely amazing. The only place to go for your wisdom teeth. Having my operation during COVID no visitors were allowed however I was completely at ease during the entire process thanks to Lisa’s team & the staff at Epworth Hospital. Cannot thank everyone enough, the operation removing all 4 wisdom teeth with two impacted that were very close to nerves was a huge success, I have also had a speedy recovery. Definitely highly recommended!

Dr Lisa does absolutely amazing work. Kind, caring and compassionate three words that describe her work ethic and practice beliefs. Her execution of surgery day would leave the most anxious of patients completely relaxed and complacent and leave them knowing that they had the true professionals in charge and after hours care was also sensational. I was slightly concerned the following morning with my recovery (which was 1000% better than expected, no swelling, blood, pain or discomfort.) Dr Lisa literally called me back 4 minutes after I made the call to her after hours service. Exceptionally awesome. Many thanks Dr Lisa!

Dr Lisa Crighton Was absolutely amazing in the removal of my wisdom teeth this past week. The process was quick and her staff were very friendly and helpful. Best Dentist around.

Dr. Crighton was very warm, caring and explained everything extremely well! Great work and I was very satisfied.

Had two wisdom tooth extracted here.
Very professional, no complications whatsoever. Highly recommended!

Had to get 5 wisdom teeth extracted and was quite nervous about the whole procedure. Dr Lisa Crighton was amazing and explained things in a very caring manner.
I was afraid of permanent nerve damage but through very good explanation of the procedure and what to expect, my mind was at ease. 5 months after surgery and it has all completely healed without any damage. 100% Recommend

Dr. Lisa was amazing. I have had a lot of mental health strife in my youth including anorexia and bulemia, along with depression severe enough it impacted upon my oral health. Needless to say despite being in not the best mind about my teeth Dr. Lisa was so kind, and helped me understand the process of the extraction of my wisdom teeth and one other. I highly recommend her kind touch if you have a fear of anything dental.

My surgery with Dr Crighton was genuinely one of the most pleasant interactions with a healthcare provider I've ever had. Her and her team's impeccable bedside manner is a great source of comfort to anyone feeling a little uncertain about the process, and their focus on patient care, even going as far as calling me on their drive home to address a minor concern, is something they should be very proud of. Thank you.

I came to Dr. Lisa with a heavy mind and stressed out of my mind because other Drs told me I HAD to take out 5 teeth at once; 2 infected and 3 wisdom and that there is no point in keeping anything. It would cost me 3K and that I HAD to get 2 implants for another 3K. Then I came to Dr. Lisa, she was incredibly nice and understanding and told me to hang on to my teeth and she only removed one infected tooth.the surgery was so smooth her and her staff were so nice and sweet! They called the next day to make sure I was doing alright. Honestly, top notch quality practice.thank you so much!

Had 4 wisdom teeth out with Dr Lisa and couldn't have wished for an easier experience! I was virtually pain free from beginning to end and it all healed up perfectly and quickly. I would absolutely recommend Dr Crighton. She is such a lovely person too.

Dr Lisa Crighton is absolutely amazing! I’ve just had my 4 wisdom teeth removed and they have healed perfectly. I didn’t feel much pain after the surgery either! She is honestly the best person to go to if you’re having issues with wisdom teeth! I can’t recommend her highly enough!

The only place to go for your wisdom teeth! Lisa and her whole team are so warm & friendly - certainly make you the main priority and ensure a smooth service! Cannot thank then all enough or recommend Lisa more!

Amazing Surgeon!
I had my wisdom teeth removed here in 2014 and really appreciated the care and effort that was put in. I had all 4 removed and didn't feel a thing. I was able to wear headphones during the procedure which helped the overall experience.
Could not recommend more!

Extremely glad and thankful I was referred to Dr Lisa. Her experience shows as my molar extraction (which wasn't as straight forward as it should have been due to my bone toughness but brittle teeth) was flawless in execution as it was still one of the most comfortable dental experiences I've ever had, and surprisingly no discomfort in recovery. The experience was helped not only by her expertise, but how sweet Dr Lisa and the girls were (whom also are extremely experienced and excellent at their craft). As someone who absolutely hates any kind of dental work, I highly recommend coming to Dr Lisa and the team for any oral surgery needed doing!

Dr Crighton & staff are warm and lovely. Her consultation is thorough & thoughtful. My surgical & social needs around wisdom teeth extraction are well covered. Thank you all kindly!

Dr Creighton and Melissa, how can I ever thank you enough for enabling RMH Consultation at the speed of light?
If Compassion has a definition, you are the very Embodiment of it. Truly Grateful.

Awesome service. Lisa and staff and very friendly and caring. My son and I both had our wisdom teeth removed (very deep and unerupted). We couldn't have asked for a "nicer" treatment and recovery time!

Dr Crighton is a master of her craft, runs a tight ship and has the best team supporting her. All my questions and concerns were covered fully. The procedure went well and I experienced very little discomfort. (x 2 wisdom plus 1 x molar removed). Highly recommended.
