Dr. Johannes Viljoen – Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeon – Mossel Bay

Dr Johannes Viljoen is a fellowship-trained Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeon practicing in George and Mossel Bay. He earned his BChD from the University of Pretoria in 1987, followed by a Dip Odont. in 1993. After serving with the SADF Medical Corps, he practised general dentistry for seven years before pursuing medicine. Consequently, he returned to the University of Pretoria to complete his MBChB in 1999 and his MChD (Chirurgia Maxillofacialis et Medica) in 2003.

Moreover, Dr Viljoen opened his private practice in Krugersdorp in 2003 and relocated to George in 2005. He maintains active membership with the South African Society of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgeons (SASMFOS), the International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (IAOMS), and the AO Foundation for Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons (AOCMF). As a result, he stays at the forefront of innovative techniques in trauma care, reconstructive surgery, and craniofacial anomalies.

Driven by core values of compassion, integrity, and professionalism, Dr Viljoen leads every patient through a clear, supportive journey. He begins with a thorough clinical evaluation—often including panoramic X-rays or 3D CT scans—to establish an accurate diagnosis and craft a personalized treatment plan.
