Are you interested in correcting any kind of problem with your mouth, jaws, facial structures and neck?

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the specialty of dentistry which includes the diagnosis, surgical and adjunctive treatment of diseases, injuries and defects involving both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region.

A range of oral and maxillofacial surgical operations are carried out on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia or conscious sedation. These include: pre-implant surgery placement of dental/facial implants, removal of impacted teeth, intra-oral and facial soft tissue procedures.

More major operations, for example those for salivary gland disease, trauma, facial deformity or cancer, are carried out on an inpatient basis under general anaesthetic.

Due to the nature of the work, oral and maxillofacial surgeons often work alongside a variety of specialists in other fields such as Ear, Nose and Throat surgeons, clinical oncologists, plastic surgeons, orthodontists, restorative dentists, radiologists and neurosurgeons.

Bone regeneration

The loss of the tooth and of its bone of support lead to the creation of crestal defects or situation of maxillary atrophy. The restoration of a functional condition involves the use of endosseous implants who require adequate bone volume.

In such situations the bone needs to be regenerated, taking advantage of the biological principles of osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Several techniques combine these principles with different results, due to the condition of the bone base on which we operate changes and the surgical technique that we use. Preserving as restoring a sufficient bone volume to support the prosthetic load, and also the insertion of the dental implant as a support for prosthesis, requires the use of surgical protocols that enable the bone regeneration on the deficient sites, using the principles of osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are among the most skilled of all dentists and doctors.
