Oral and maxillofacial surgery

Oral and maxillofacial surgery provides advanced surgical care for conditions affecting the mouth, jaw, face, and neck. These procedures are performed in a hospital setting by highly trained specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeons to ensure safety and the best possible outcomes. Unlike routine dental treatments, this specialty involves advanced operations requiring extensive surgical expertise and combined training in dentistry and medicine.

Common conditions include:

• Jaw misalignment and corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery)
• Facial trauma and fractures
• Impacted teeth and complex extractions
• Oral cancers, cysts, and tumours
• TMJ (jaw joint) disorders
• Conditions requiring reconstructive or functional surgery

Care is tailored to each patient and often involves collaboration with other medical specialists to restore function, comfort, and appearance.
