A full scope of surgical procedures
Dr Sese completed his specialty training in Oral Surgery at the University of Otago and Dunedin Public Hospital, the culmination of nearly a decade of education and surgical training.
IV sedation
We offer intravenous sedation to help ensure comfort for anxious patients during procedures, so treatment that would otherwise feel daunting can be done here in the chair.
Wisdom teeth removal
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause recurrent pain, infections, damage to adjacent teeth, and may be associated with pathology. These teeth often require advanced surgical techniques for safe removal.
Complex and difficult extractions
Your dentist, doctor, or specialist may refer you to a Specialist Oral Surgeon for the surgical removal of complex teeth, or when treatment requires additional consideration due to an underlying medical condition.
Dental implant placement
Dental implants are a reliable rehabilitation option for replacing single or multiple missing teeth. We use 3D technology to plan and place implants with precision, helping to ensure accuracy and long-term success.
Oral pathology and biopsy
Incisional or excisional biopsies may be required to diagnose or remove abnormal growths and lesions within the oral cavity and jaws. Histopathological examination provides a definitive diagnosis to guide appropriate clinical management.
Bone and soft tissue grafting
Bone and soft tissue grafting is often required to support implant surgery. Dr Sese has a special interest in using a patient’s own bone to reconstruct bony defects and facilitate implant rehabilitation.
General anaesthetic and theatre access
Some procedures are better done under general anaesthetic. Dr Sese has access to surgical theatres in Auckland for treatment that requires it.
ACC and health insurance
Dr Sese is a registered specialist provider with ACC, and provides procedures for most private health insurance providers.
Surgical care without the drive to Tauranga or Hamilton
Dr Peter Sese
Peter was born and raised in Apia, Samoa. He moved to Dunedin in 2011 to complete his Bachelor of Dental Surgery, and stayed on to train as a specialist oral surgeon.
Peter and his young family have since moved to Auckland, and he now provides oral surgery services across Auckland, Northland and the Bay of Plenty. East Bay Dental is one of the clinics he visits, so patients in the Eastern Bay can have surgical treatment close to home.
Away from the clinic
Peter enjoys spending time with his family in Auckland, while appreciating the slightly warmer climate compared with Dunedin. He stays active at the gym, walks with his dog Maui, and has recently taken up golf.
Qualifications and training
“That was much less hassle than I realised. Peter was super relaxed and made the whole experience feel less stressful. I’m so happy to be rid of my achey wisdom teeth! The sedation was awesome, I can barely remember the procedure, which I’m stoked about.”
“I can smile again! I don’t even know my implant is there. Even after the surgery I barely took one Panadol. I just love smiling with my new tooth now, I wouldn’t even smile before when I had the gap, and I hated my plate with a passion! I am so happy! Thanks Peter, Nic and the team for a great outcome!”
“Peter and our team are committed to delivering exceptional care, while ensuring patient comfort and minimising anxiety.”
