Dr Andrew RDS Thorpe is a male Specialist Oral Surgeon.
Dr Andrew is a specialist Oral Surgeon whose focus is on surgery involving the mouth and associated structures, including the management of wisdom teeth and the placement of dental implants.
Dr Andrew joined Dr van Mourik as they realised that they could work closely as a team and shared the same motivations for making patients feel at ease. Their approach is to work together to create a harmonious environment that helps you feel confident that your referral is felicitous.
If surgery is considered, then Dr Andrew will guide you through the process of understanding the balance of risks and benefits so that you can make an informed decision.
Dr Andrew aims to ensure any patient that is seen by him feels secure and listened to. So, when you visit, take your time to let him know your concerns and allow him to help you confidently say, “You explained that well”.
Dr Andrew completed his Bachelor of Oral Health and Graduate Diploma of Dentistry from Griffith University in 2008, and then worked for a decade in North Queensland. During this time, Dr Andrew completed a Graduate Diploma of Dental Implantology, became a Diplomate of the International College of Oral Implantologists, and presented implantology lectures both within Australia and as far away as the USA and Croatia.
Moving to Sydney, Dr Andrew completed a Graduate Diploma of Clinical Dentistry in Surgical Dentistry and a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Oral Surgery, both at the University of Sydney, fulfilling a long-term dream of registering as a specialist Oral Surgeon. Dr Andrew is also a Member of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and is an active member of the Australian Society of Implant Dentists.
Dr Andrew has a particular interest in the management of wisdom teeth, dental implantology including dental implant placement and bone grafting, and the management of oral pathology. Dr Andrew’s research endeavours have principally focused on Oral Surgery education and evidence based Oral Surgery practice.
