What is Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons are Specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the facial complex and skeleton, including the jaws and mouth cavity. The defects impacting the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and maxillofacial region are detected and surgically treated by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons may also treat diseases that require an understanding of both medicine and dentistry. These include a variety of conventional oral surgery issues (such as impacted teeth, dental implants), jaw and congenital facial disproportion, face trauma, mouth cancer, salivary gland disease, and disorders of the temporomandibular joint (eg. cysts and tumours of the jaws).

Various oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures are performed on an outpatient basis while the patient is anaesthetized or under local anaesthesia. These include intra-oral and soft tissue surgeries on the face and mouth, implantation of dental and facial implants before implant surgery, and removal of impacted teeth.
