Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a surgical specialty of dentistry, which involves the diagnosis and management of a variety of problems involving both the bones and tissues of the oral and facial region. This includes the mouth and maxillofacial regions like the jaw, neck, and face. Surgery can be for aesthetic or medical purposes.
It can be done for diseases of the hard and soft tissues in the oral and maxilofacial region, to correct facial deformity caused by congenital reasons, remove malignant facial tumours, repair damage caused by trauma such as accidents, as well as for cosmetic reasons to enhance the appearance of the mouth, jaw and face.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are dental specialists who have undergone extensive training in both dentistry and medicine, equipping them with the expertise to address complex conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures offer numerous benefits that can significantly improve a patient's quality of life. Addressing dental and jaw problems through surgery can lead to improved oral health, including better chewing function, clearer speech, and enhanced overall oral hygiene. Corrective jaw surgery and cosmetic procedures can enhance facial aesthetics, boosting self-confidence and improving overall appearance.
Reconstructive surgery and trauma surgery can restore function and improve quality of life after injuries or diseases affecting the face and jaw. Furthermore, oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures can provide pain relief by addressing Temporomandibular Joint Disorders and other conditions that cause discomfort in the oral and maxillofacial region.
