Dr Webber grew up and was educated on the Gold Coast, and has always intended to return home and practice on the Coast. He completed his undergraduate Medical Degree at the University of New South Wales in 2001, and then his basic surgical training through the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons at various Hospitals including The Gold Coast and Toowoomba Base Hospitals. Dr Webber has had exposure to all surgical disciplines, and through this experience decided to focus his interest on Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

 

He was subsequently accepted onto the Queensland Oral and Maxillofacial Training Program where he undertook seven years of advanced surgical training which included completing a dental degree through the University of Queensland. He has undertaken his Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical Training at The Princess Alexandria Hospital, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Royal Children's Hospital and The Mater Adults and Children's Hospitals and was awarded his Specialty Fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery FRACDS(OMS), in 2010.

 

In 2009, Dr Webber became the first Australian to train at the world-renowned Oral and Maxillofacial Department at the University of Maryland Medical Centre and The R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Centre in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. He spent 12 months working alongside world authorities in numerous disciplines of oral and maxillofacial surgery. He gained extensive experience in all aspects of maxillofacial surgery, particularly facial trauma reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, open and minimally-invasive temporomandibular joint surgery and all aspects of dental implant and dentoalveolar surgery. These areas are now where his interests lie.

 

Dr Webber has presented at local, state and international meetings and is actively involved in research. He is a Visiting Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon to the Gold Coast Hospital where he enjoys passing on his knowledge and surgical expertise to Medical and Dental students, Local Practitioners and future Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. As the most contemporary-trained Gold Coast Oral Surgeon, Dr Shannon Webber practices privately at both ends of the Gold Coast (Pindara and John Flynn Hospital and Tweed Day Surgery) and also visits Ballina, thus providing a comprehensive service to the entire Gold Coast and Greater Northern Rivers Region.
